Ohio Bobcats Take 20-6 Win at Charleston in Uneven Opener
Ohio University’s defense limited Morris Harvey to 90 ground yards and set up all three Bobcat touchdowns with two fumbles and an interception. Offensive miscues kept the contest tight as Toledo looms for the MAC opener, while special teams by Chick McBride Ted Jackson Bill Bevan and Frederick contributed. The unusual abbreviated third quarter ended the game early due to a malfunctioning Laidley Field clock.
