Football The fighting Aberdeen Bobcat football team of 1938-39 hung up a Southwest Washington Conference Championship this year for the first time in eleven years. The championship came as the result of nine straight wins, and one defeat. The Cats were twc games ahead of their nearest competitor. The smooth working Cats tallied 133 points to their opponents' 40. Aberdeen 12 - Shelton 0—It took Aberdeen two quarters to warm up, but once the heat was turned on, the powerful Cats ran and passed their way to two touchdowns to beat Shelton in their initial game of the season. Aberdeen 31 - Port Orchard 0—Jud Graham's chargers completely outclassed a light, fast Port Orchard aggregation to the tune of 31-0. The Kitsap county boys were no match for even the lowliest subs. Aberdeen 26 - Vancouver 20—Scoring in the last 20 seconds of play, the Bobcats outlasted the Trappers in one of the most exciting games ever seen in this conference. Aberdeen 25 - Chehalis 6—The fighting Cats tempested Chehalis 25-6 in their second conference win and definitely stamped themselves as title contenders. The game was featured by lengthy touchdown gallops. Aberdeen 14 - Raymond 0—An inspired Raymond football team held the rampaging Bobcats at bay for three quarters on a fog-bound field, until the Bobcats finally came through in the last four minutes of play with two touchdowns and conversions to match. Aberdeen 7 - Longview 0—Scoring on the third play of the game, the Bobcats were content to settle down and hold their lead, in the hardest played game of the year. Longview was last year's title holder. Aberdeen 6 - Kelso 2—Statistics show that the Bobcats completely outplayed the Kelso team though direct scores came as a result of breaks. The game was virtually swum'' on a muddy, wet, soggy gridiron. Aberdeen 6 - Centralia 0 -A 90-yard run from the kickoff in the second half proved to be the margin of victory for the Aberdeen gridders. Aberdeen 6 - Olympia 0—The Cats pushed the Olympia Bears around for 48 minutes and wound up on the long end of a 6-0 score in their annual Armistice Day classic before a large delegation of loyal Bobcat supporters. Aberdeen 0 - Hoquiam 12—The Bobcats just couldn't get going and went down to defeat at the hands of the Hoquiam Grizzlies on the ever popular Thanksgiving Day tussle. The game was played before a record-breaking crowd in the newly erected Olympic Stadium. The defeat was the Bobcats' first, and incidentally, only defeat, which robbed them of their claim to the mythical State Championship. The Aberdeen team placed three men on the All Southwest squad this year, Norman Newman, Lloyd Wickett, and Peter Bakotich. Many more were also chosen as second stringers and given honorable mention honors. At the close of the season, trophies were awarded Lloyd Wickett and B.ll Russell, captain of the team. Wickett was awarded the John Mashin Memorial ring, and Bill Russell was awarded the Perry Clark trophy and George Savage Memorial trophy. The 1938-39 season will always be remembered and looked back upon as one of the most successful in the school's gridiron history. [ 30 ]
