O. A. C. F resh m en 6, C hem aw a 0, was th e score of

the collegians, coupled w ith inefficient officiating, d e
cided the contest.
Both team s seem ed to lack th e p u nch to p u t across
th e necessary yard ag e w hen w ith in strik in g distance
of th e o p p o n en ts’ goal. T w ice o u r boys cam e w ithin
the 10-yard m ark, but lost the ball on dow ns.
T h e college boys won by stra ig h t football, m ix in g
their plays w ith off-tackle plays and w ide end ru n s.
It was nobody s gam e u n til th e last th ree m inutes of
play when q u arterb ack Schroeder called for an end

touchdow n.
he soggy condition of the field m ade it im possible
for Chem aw a to use an y trick plays and forced o u r
boys to play th e lin e-b u ck in g gam e w ith a few end
runs.
T h e co n test was so even th a t both sides m ade y a rd
