OU Braves Seek Rugged Showdown At Bethel
A 38 man Ottawa University squad travels to Newton for a Saturday night game against Bethel. Coach Dick Peters predicts a real good fight as Bethel’s defense stung by a 13 6 loss to Baker is expected to rely on a T formation. Peters notes Bethel’s big line and a sturdy defense while Ottawa counters with experience and a seasoned offense. Key injuries loom with Bruce Pemberton sidelined by a twisted knee and ankle, Floyd Scott limited by injury, and Fred Thompson possibly uneven but ready for action. Ottawa lineup features Bissit Brown ends, Whitesell Whitesell tackles, Jefferson Shook guards, Lawson center, McAninch left half, Spong fullback, with Thompson Coons at wing back and a double wing T base offense. The Braves aim to repeat the 28 0 victory over Friends while Brav es plan flexible defense against Bethel.
