The team never allowed a point against most foes, with notable 35-0 wins and a late safety sealing the decisive victory.

Bath Community Center Closes Its Doors Saturday
The Bath Community Center shut its doors Saturday at five o'clock due to insufficient space and anticipated costs. The center had $2,500 in operating funds and expected about $4,000 in revenue, but a revenue shortfall forced drastic cuts and use of nearly all city funds. The facility originated in 1942 as an Industrial U.S.O. center, with a succession of directors and city leadership guiding its operation through wartime and postwar years.
