EXCAI-Il3 Football The season opened September 30, with the l,ima South Reserves, after four weeks of hard praetiee and we had a. splendid start of a 52-to-0 vetory. The next week we traveled to St. Marys, who was eonsidered the weak sister of the league, and we lost: the score being 2 to 0. Wapakoneta eame here the following week and we won hy the score of 339 to 0. The winning streak of the previous week continued as we defeated Rockford 'LO to 0 on a dry field instead of the usual sea of mud. Bluffton eame to town with a rather light team but were they fast! They won hy the seore of 26 to 0. With the league ehampionship lost, we traveled to Ada and won 19 to U. On Armistice Day we played Elida, after Delphos had canceled their sehedule and we won 21 to 0 in a rather slow game. On November 17 we played our last game against our oldest enemy, Celina., and in a hard fought hattle, in a sea of mud, we lost hy the seore of 6 to 0.
