For the opening game of the season, Mr. Kafka, head football coach and Mr. Helixon, assistant coach, of the Owen Eagles, took the squad to Loyal where a 13-13 tie game was played.

The second game of the season and first conference tilt found Owen at Neillsville where the Eagles had a little trouble trying to stop the big and more experienced team as the score of this game was 19-0.

Owen got back into the win column by taking a thriller from the Cadott team. Because the score was 13-0 at the beginning of the last quarter, most of the Owen fans went home only to miss the most important part of the game. With six minutes left to play, Owen took to the air, and as a result the game ended with Owen on top 14-13.

The Eagles were downed again by the revenge seeking Thorp team chalking up a score of 32-0.

Marshfield came to Owen with a small and fast team but not fast and tricky enough to beat Owen. The final score was 12-0.

The boys ran into a little trouble when they went to Cornell where the first half didn’t show much action, but as the second half came around, the Cornell boys had to fight hard. Owen marched right down the field for a touchdown, bringing the final score Cornell 18, Owen 6.

Harold Laube: Tackle, Captain, Senior. Harold was Owen’s most valuable player in the line. Will be missed next year.

Norbert Lipprandt: Halfback, Junior. The most accurate passer on the team, showed his ability against Cadott.

Don Southworth: Center, Senior. Don played two roes, center and defensive end. Played both with courage and sincerity.

Ken Roohr: Guard, Senior. A steady aggressive player. He filled the guard position very capably.

Pete Devine: Halfback, Senior. Best pass receiver on the team. Also a good runner and leader of plays. He called the signals this year.

George Behringer: Guard, Senior. He is a small man but you could depend on him for a steady game.

Cliff Smith: End, Senior. A tall rangy boy who played his best on offense. Will be missed next year.

Gerald Behringer: Tackle, Senior. A heady player all the time. He wasn’t to be fooled very often.

Frank Samek: Guard, Senior. Frank’s ability was in the fact that he could break through the line and block a punt or tie each game.

Keith Walker: Quarterback, Senior. It took him four years to make a touchdown, but it wasn’t because he lacked the ability.

Alex Nowak: Fullback, Junior. Al’s first year at football showed enough power and ability to earn the regular fullback position.

George Southworth: Tackle, Junior. George has the spirit, ability and stamina to be a winner.

Jerry Pueschner: End, Sophomore. A good player who came from Medford and showed Owen that he had what it takes to make the team.

Paul Stasek: End, Fullback, Junior. Paul did double duty at end and a very good job at fullback. Will be improved next year.

Les Wagner: Guard, Sophomore. His enthusiasm along with ability and determination will make him a star someday.

Dick Laube: Quarterback, Sophomore. Only a sophomore, Dick showed plenty of drive and was on of Owen’s best tacklers.

Burt Devine: Halfback, Sophomore. Pete’s younger brother and running mate who’ll more than fill his brother Pete’s shoes.

Silver Ross: Center, Freshman. Only a freshman and he shows great promise for the coming years.
