INTERSHIP ADA The 1948-49 gridiron season started off with a set- baik for the Redskins. Ada had things pretty much their own way in defeating the home team 19-0. lfVith two of our running backs injured, it fell on the shoulders of Bob Van Skiver to lead the attack. Ada bottled him up when they learned he was about the only power the Redskins had. COLUMBUS NORTH The big boys from the big city handed the Red- skins a QS'-C defeat, but the score is not indicative of the fzght the Redskins put up. Van Skiver made seine nice runs, Newland passed for several long gains and Presar was stellar in his line play, but they cculdn't put the ball across. KENTON The fleet champion Wildcats swept over and though the Redskins for a 33-7 win. The first half ended with a 26-7 count against Blume. The boys put up a tooth-and-nail fight against the 10-20 pound heavier Kenton team and held them to a single touchdown in the last half. VAN WERT This game, made up of determined drives, gallant goal line stands, and savage blocks, along with bru- tal tackles, turned out to be one of the most hotly ccnttsted games of the year. It was not until the last few minutes that the game was decided. It was a mighty tough 19-12 defeat for a fighting bunch of Redskins to take. SHAWNEE COM BATS CELINA Blume Redskins were still scoreless after g Celina, who spanked the ,Redskins to the ti 15-0. The game was a thrilling one with long beautiful passes, and spectacular catches. The showed some of the Redskins' potential po' they made numerous long marches. BELLEFONTAINE Granting Bellefontaine a 13 point lead in tl half, the desperate Redskins came passing an ning back in the last half to tie up the score.

' was down and the Pirates were up. Without plug McKeever, the team had little offense 2 luck of the Pirates saw them through to a 13 ST. MARYS Our cross-county rivals were highly tot tough boys. The Redskins proved their matcl first half which ended in a tied score. Then it The St. Marys field turned into a morass and Marys team turned their superior weight a serves into a victory by a score of 20-7. Thi proved to be one of the best played and mos ing of the season. X 1 ln the last game of the season the Redskins were ence more on the short end of a 32-19 score. The Redskins showed one of the best aerial attacks seen this year and their ground offense was the best of the year. The game was lost because of the Red- skins' lack of defensive power. 10 I v
