ROCKETS DEFEAT ELMORE; CLINCH
: SANDUSkY BAY LEAGUE TITLE

YAK f1drUOT UeIeIlSe kept the OF
position we'll back on their heels.
The head down, straight on plung
es of the Purple and Gold backs
got nowhere against Red and
Green beef trust-mainly Rollo
Sidell, Rog Schultz, and Bill
Borsh. Sidell and Borsh both tip
the scales at 100. Schultz at IT'S.
On the offense the Oak HarbCr
line paved the way for the ground
gaining runs of Immel, Trabbic,
Cass, Harder, Shatto, and I.e-
zotte with bang-up blocking.
All those boys needed was to see
a little daylight and they were
through the hole and hurrying
by the secondary. mud or no mud
There were but three fumbleS
in the whole game, all by Oak Har-
Dor. Only two actually could be
credited to slippery ball. The
other came on an Elmore steal
and an official slow whistle after
the play had been stopped. 1t
was only on this occasion that the
ball ever changed hands on q
tumble.
Oak Harbor took over on the
opening kickoff of the game and
marched 70 yards for I'd. I'M
mel carried to midfield. A beauti-
full SO yard bootleg by Lezotte
along the north sidelines followed
but was called back for clipping
infraction which occurred on the
Is.
With the ball back on the Ell
more 80, Trabbic took a pitchout
and winged around right end for
Is. LeZotte came back with an
other bootleg, this one being good
for five.
On the next play Immel started
wide then cut back in over right
tackle for the score.
A Lezotte pass interception ir-
augurated the next payoff drive.
From the so determined and
spirited ball carrying effort by
Cass moved Oak Harbor to the Ell
more 80. Immel took over from
there for his second I'd.
The Rockets steamed IS yards
in five plays for the next counter:
Trabbic for Is, Immel for 20, Trab-
bic and Cass for Is, and for the
climax-Immel on his out and in
specially for the remaining dis
tance.
Bill Robinson, Oak Harbor's all
conference senior center, set uE
the final tally with pass inter
ception that ended up on the on
40. Harry Shatto, senior halfback
who is used mainly on defense rs
linebacker, then turned in ;
sparkling run that fell five yards
short of the double chalk mark
End George Chiarelli threw a key
block on an Elmore back with pay
dirt in sight but Harry hauled
down and out of bounds from be
hind. On the next play Harder
went into the end zone.
\ After that a stream of clea,
white jerseys poured onto th'
field for Oak Harbor.
The excessive moisture was jus
as hard on the game balls as i
was on the uniforms. Two wer
tossed onto the Sidelines by Off
cials during the course of the con
test in very Soggy state
something like the way Coache
Martin and Erwin looked afte
their jubilant charges had 60
done throwing them under tn
showers as poStgame jubilatiol
over the clinching of the SBC it'll
reigned in the locker room. MAJ
tin took the opportunity durin
his shower stint, with the squa
all gathered round, to lead a cheer
Afterall, standing under a SHOW
er was just a duplication of tn
conditions under which everyon
had ben laboring during the er
tire evening.
Things were not quite S
cheerful in the Elmore dressin
} room. Here's team that wa
