MARIKA LEE/ THE COMMUNITY PRESS

The duplex at 7026 and 7024 Maple Avenue is one of the properties thatwill be turned into luxury townhouses by Camden Homes.

For all of the shopping,cards and gift wrapping, thereal gifts of Christmas are thememories - ones already madeand ones still to be made.

Community Press reportersasked readers to share some oftheir best.

We hope you enjoy the sto-ries.

The smell of a fresh cedar orpine tree, the warm glow of litcandles or the sound of season-al songs like “Hark the HeraldAngel Sings” can open a flood-gate of special Christmasmemories.

Now in her 80s, Deer Parkhistorian and former SuburbanLife columnist Ann Poole oncepenned a column that recount-ed her own Christmas memo-ries from her humble child-hood in Augusta, Georgia,where she grew up one of ninechildren.

The church play in whichshe and her siblings annuallyparticipated along with a city-wide caroling event are twospecial memories.

“Every elementary schoolin the area gathered to sing allof the traditional carols,” shewrote in her column a coupledecades ago. “The picture itcreated (in my mind) is asclear today as it was backwhen I was a youngster. Therehad to be close to 1,000 youngcarolers, all robed in white,carrying lighted candles andoccupying the entire balconyof our huge civic center audi-torium in Augusta.”

Today, a lovely artificialtree with little white lightsglows in the corner of Poole’sDeer Park living room. As achild, a cedar tree served asthe Christmas tree.

“The tree, a large six-footcedar, was carefully moved

from our yard and returned toits original site for anotheryear,” Poole wrote. The fra-grance of cedar filled thehome, she said. There werevery few store bought orna-ments. Instead, the tree wasadorned in red and green con-struction paper chains, stringsof red berries and popcorn andpine cones.

“Apples, oranges and nutsappeared under the tree onChristmas morning as if fromnowhere, and also filled ourstockings,” she wrote. “I canhonestly say we consideredourselves very lucky whenSanta left us that one specialtoy or doll that we had askedfor in our letters.”

As a mother of three girls in

Deer Park, Poole said Christ-mas for her daughters was abit different from those sheenjoyed in Georgia. Herdaughters recently sharedtheir favorite Christmas mem-ories with Poole, which sherecounts.

“Of course I liked all of mytoys Santa brought me, but myfavorite memory through the

years has been the silverChristmas tree,” recalledPoole’s daughter Lisa Hogg,who now lives in El Monte,California. “I was so fascinatedby it, but not so much moretoys.”

when Christmas was nearand the family had no tree.

“This had always beenthe highlight of ourChristmas,” she said. “Af-ter driving quite a while

we were getting worriedthat we would have notree. That was promptlysolved when our dad saw alone tree in a yard usedearlier for selling trees.

“My dad was sure thatthe lone little tree wouldbe just right.”

The tree was one-halfher size, even propped ona box, she added.

Over the years as a col-umnist, Poole said she hadthe opportunity to talkwith many area residentsabout their Christmasmemories. She thenshared them for all to en-joy in the Suburban Life.

Thanks to Ann Poole forcontributing to this story.

» Green grass beliesthe season, but the frontlawn of Schmidt DhonauKucner Funeral Homeharkens to Christmaspast.

Philip Schmidt, formerowner of the Sharonvillefuneral home, was incharge of the life-size na-tivity that filled the yardfor two weeks every yearin the 1960s, beginning theSaturday before Christ-mas.

He was a member ofthe Sharonville business-men’s association, whichacquired the figures,structure, and a donkey,

which they boarded at aWest Chester farm for theother 50 weeks.

“It was huge,” Schmidtrecalled. “The business-men’s club bought it froma convent. The statueswere cast iron, veryheavy.”

The stable was a heavylumber structure, erectedby the club members forthe statues, which hadbeen repainted by stu-dents at Mount NotreDame High School in theearly 1960s.

“We borrowed twosheep from the samefarmer that stored ourdonkey,” Schmidt said.They were enclosed in thestructure with the figuresof Jesus, Mary and Jo-seph, as well as the threewise men and shepherds.

“I got the job of makingsure the animals were fedevery day and had water,”Schmidt said.

At that time, he and hiswife, Barbara, lived in theapartment above the fu-neral home on Reading

Road in Sharonville.“I’m not a farmer, but I

knew how to make surethey were fed,” Schmidtsaid of the diet of hay andwater.

He recalled two occa-sions when the sheep gotloose.

“I think somebody letthem out,” Schmidt said.“The phone rings in themiddle of the night. It wasthe police departmentsaying ‘your sheep areloose.’

“You have to runaround in traffic, pick itup and put it back. Eachone separately.

“The other one was inthe morning, during rushhour. It was difficult to getthe cars out of the way tocapture the sheep.”

The nativity was a sightto behold.

“People would stoptheir cars,” Schmidt re-membered that 50 yearsago, parking was allowedalong the street.

“People could stoptheir cars and pet thesheep and donkey.”

Eventually, the nativitywas moved to DepotSquare, without the liveanimals, and today, it sitsin storage.

Decades ago, the Nativity in front of the Schmidts’ funeralhome slowed traffic along Reading Road.

Things were lookingpretty bleak for a thor-oughbred named “CatchThis T.”

Sure, “T” in 1999 hadsurvived being hit by atruck with such force thathe was thrown onto thehood.

But Catch This T didnot do well in the care ofthe person who subse-quently adopted him.

T became emaciatedand contracted a neuro-logical condition thatcauses uncoordinationand weakness.

That’s when Catch ThisT caught another break.

Bright Futures Farm, ahorse rescue operationand sanctuary in Coch-ranton, Pennsylvania,took T in as a permanent

resident, giving him foodand veterinary care.

And because of ahands-up from the Cincin-nati-based BrennanEquine Welfare Fund,which gave Bright Fu-tures Farm a grant, CatchThis T also is getting mas-sage, chiropractic treat-ments and acupuncture tohelp with his specialneeds.

Now you can give ahands-up to the BrennanEquine Welfare Fund bymaking a donation to thefund-raising, non-profitorganization founded in2000 by Indian Hill nativeLinda Pavey.

Donate by Dec. 31, andPavey, who lives in Madei-ra, will personally matchit up to $5,000.

“Your donation willhave double the power tooffer a second chance to

equines in need as all per-sonal donations will bematched dollar-to-dollaruntil $5,000 is realized,”Pavey said.

The Brennan EquineWelfare Fund operatesthrough The Greater Cin-

cinnati Foundation and isnamed for Pavey’s be-loved horse, an off-the-track thoroughbred shehad for 12 years before hedied in 2002.

Brennan Equine Wel-fare Fund grants are giv-

en to horse rescue, reha-bilitation and retirementshelters that care for in-jured, abused, and oldhorses, as well as horsesused in medical experi-ments and horses boundfor the slaughterhouse.

In other words, theyhelp horses like CatchThis T, who Pavey sayshas improved at BrightFutures Farm, gainingweight and muscle tone.

“This year, he got dap-ples on his coat…a sign ofgood health and balancewithin,” Pavey said. “Forthis 22-year old who hasbeen through so much, hecertainly deserves this.”

Shelters that offercarefully scrutinizedadoptions also are eligiblefor Brennan Equine Wel-fare Fund grants.

This is the seventhyear Pavey has offered

the matching gift pro-gram. Contributions aretax deductible and 100percent goes towards thehorses, Pavey said.

Pavey said the Bren-nan Equine Welfare Fundhas no paid employees, nooverhead and that all ad-vertising and postage isdonated.

Checks may be madeout to The Greater Cincin-nati Foundation (makesure to write “BrennanEquine Welfare Fund” onthe memo line) and mailedto The Greater CincinnatiFoundation, 200 W. 4thStreet, Cincinnati 45202.

In the spirit of Christmasand competition, the studentsat Ursuline Academy nearlytripled their annual gift drivesuccess.

“This is the biggest turnoutwe have ever had. Last yearwe had a little less than 900gifts and this year I think weare at 3,000 easily. It is fantas-tic,” Director of Developmentand Communications SallyNiedhard said Dec. 4.

Ursuline conducts the giftdrive every year to assistHope Emergency’s ChristmasShop.

Hope Emergency is anoutreach program that servesabout 250 families in Adams,Brown, Clinton and Highlandcounties. The program wasalso founded by the Ursulinesof Brown County, who found-ed the school.

The final tally was 3,572gifts. The school also raised$1,535 through a hot chocolatebar, candy grams and cookieraffles.

“With that money in thepast, we have gone out andbought more gifts to donate,but this year with the over-flow of gifts, we are hoping tomaybe be able to donate themoney for them to use in anyway they might need,” saidKlare, of Symmes Township.

Niedhard credited the suc-cess of this year’s drive toKlare’s and senior MargoNelis’s leadership.

“They have done a reallygreat job of getting peopleexcited about the idea of mak-

ing someone’s Christmas asgood as theirs tend to be,”Neidhard said.

In addition to the gift drivebeing a competition betweengrade levels, Nelis, of Syca-more Township, said the 50homeroom classes also com-peted against each other.

“The juniors and seniorskind of took off and had areally big competition and itkind of exploded and now weare up to 3,000 gifts,” Nelissaid.

Indian Hill has lost babyJesus.

The resin Christ child that issupposed to be at the center ofthe village’s annual live nativitydisplay, that is.

After four sheep on the lamfrom Turner Farm were herdedinto a makeshift manger onDrake Road, Indian Hill staff-ers in the administration build-ing across the street beganhauling out the life-size figuresthat populate the crèche.

Here was Mary, over thereJoseph and the three wise men,but where was…?

“While the holiday scenewas being assembled, the vil-lage could not locate the babyJesus in the administration’sbasement,” Indian Hill CityManager Dina Minneci said.

“After a thorough search ofour facilities, we immediatelyordered another one and it willbe placed in the holiday sceneas soon as it arrives.”

Minneci doesn’t think theChrist child figure was stolen.

“I truly believe it was mis-placed,” Minneci said.

Indian Hill quickly fired offa $70 order for a new Jesus.

Until it arrives, visitors tothe manger will see Mary, Jo-seph and the three wise men –one on his knee holding out abox of gold, frankincense ormyrrh – gathered around acradle with nothing inside butstraw.

Indian Hill is determined tokeep the Christ in the Christ-mas crèche.

“The village has all inten-tions of completing the holidayscene upon the arrival of thenew baby Jesus,” Minneci said.

I always wonder when I make thesemini fruit cakes just how many of you whoread this column like fruitcake or havesomeone on your holiday list who does.Trouble is around my house, I don’t havemany fruitcake lovers, so making thesefills the bill for those who want this sea-sonal treat.

I’ll be making these, too, for my friendBert, who lives down the road and whoremembers when I made batches of fruit-cake for our catering customers. I do haverecipes for traditional fruitcake from scratch,along with some made with box cake mix thatare really good.

So for those of you who need a big fruitcakefix, check out my site at Abouteating.com.

On another note, I know how this time of yearcan be stressful, as well as joyous. So rememberthis simple thought: Contentment is not the ful-fillment of what you want, but the realization ofhow much you already have. Merry Christmasand Happy Holiday!

Tip from Rita’s kitchenOne ingredient white chocolate icing:Oh my gosh, I can’t believe I had for-

gotten about this easy icing until I ran outof confectioners sugar to ice cut out cook-ies and found a lone bag of white choco-late chips in the pantry. What I love aboutthis icing is that it dries hard, no messyicing that sticks to fingers.

All I did was melt the chips over verylow heat, dunk the top side of the cookiesin and put them on a rack. I sprinkled

them with toppings before the chocolate set.Iced giant marshmallows: Dip into coating,

put them on a rack and shake sprinkles on topbefore chocolate sets.

Victorian Jewels (mini fruit cakes) These are so pretty and really delicious - just enough of a bite to

savor that fruitcake craving. I like to marinate the fruits in brandy for amore authentic fruitcake taste.

1-1/2 cups diced mixed candied fruits1-1/2 cups raisins (combo of light and dark or whatever you like,

including currants)1/2 cup brandy or apple juice3/4 cup dark or light packed brown sugar (I use dark)1/3 cup room temperature butter1 large egg1 cup flour1/2 teaspoon each: baking soda, salt and allspice1 teaspoon cinnamon1/4 teaspoon nutmeg1 cup chopped nuts (I like walnuts)Candied cherries for garnish

Melted apple jelly for glazeMarinate fruits and raisins in brandy or juice at least 4 hours or

better, overnight. That plumps them up and they’ll absorb most, if notall, of the brandy or juice.

Mix sugar, butter and egg until fairly fluffy. Whisk together flour,soda, salt and spices; stir in. Mix in nuts and fruits. Spoon into mini muf-fin tins lined with baking cups. Fill 3/4 full. Top each with cherry.

Bake at 300 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove from tins, brush topswith brandy or juice while warm. Cool. Store in airtight container. Beforeserving, brush tops with jelly. Makes between 4-5 dozen.

Waldorf saladRob, a Northside reader, shares this recipe which he says “ is the

perfect accompaniment for that holiday ham”. He said go to taste onthe dressing and other ingredients. I have fond memories of my sister,Judy, making Waldorf salad for our holiday table.

Dressing: whisk together, taste and go from there

1/2 cup mayonnaise1/4 to 1/3 cup cider vinegarHoney or sugar to taste - start with a heaping tablespoon

Salad: mix together

1 heaping cup red grapes, halved5-6 nice sized apples: combo of tart and sweet, like Granny Smith

for tart and Gala or other for sweet, cut into 1/2” pieces3-4 ribs celery, chopped fine1 cup toasted sliced almonds or walnuts, chopped, or more to

tasteSalt and pepper to taste

Pour dressing over salad and toss gently until coated. Refrigerate,covered for half an hour or so. Adjust seasonings.

Tip: You can substitute dried cherries, cranberries or raisins for thegrapes and pecans for the nuts.

Recently, Madeira citycouncil passed two ordinancesintended to foster developmentin the central business districtof the city. The plan is the re-sult of many years of work andI support the effort and ourresidents should do so as well.

When I became mayor in2004 I worked to make Madei-ra developer friendly. At thattime, development was ram-pant in the area. Surroundingcommunities had projectsunder way which had assis-tance from local governments.We missed some opportunitiesand lost some businesses and Iwanted to see the process re-versed. I asked for the supportof the council and it was wellreceived.

Our administration knew we

would supporttheir efforts.We workedwith a newbusiness withparking issues.As a result, wenow have aworld classbusiness in ourdowntown.The work con-tinued and one

portion of a block has beentransformed into an attractivearea which has become a desti-nation. This is one of the func-tions of government. I don’twant to see progress just “hap-pen,” I want to see our govern-ment as an ally proactivelyworking with businesses.

Our efforts did not stop with

two new businesses. Stepswere taken on projects whichwould have dwarfed anythingdone previously in our down-town. Unfortunately, the econ-omy took a turn and the devel-opers and lenders went intohiding. I recently learned abusiness will be relocating tospace in one of the new build-ings. While the benefits of aproject may not be readilyseen, they will continue foryears.

As a business owner formore than 25 years, I spend toomuch of my time complyingwith a myriad of regulations. Idon’t begrudge anyone whohas any tax treatment whichmay benefit them that is notavailable to me, be it a TIF,abatement or any other form

of assistance. If they are en-couraged to invest in Madeiraand build in our city, thenbring it on.

I believe a business modelshould provide for the enter-prise to stand on its own. Thebusiness should be able tocompete and earn a profit in itsenvironment. But we musttake a big dose of reality. Sur-rounding communities providemany many incentives to lurebusinesses. Tax abatement,contributions of land and otherassistance are more the rulethan the exception. If we are tomove ahead, we must get withthe times.

I applaud the tenacity of theentrepreneur who has beenworking for the city for morethan five years to bring a new

business to our town. We arenearing the point where thingsare going to start happening.Our new mayor echoed mysentiments after the swearingin ceremony. We have a rareopportunity to acquire landand create parking in our cen-tral business district. The addi-tional parking will benefitseveral businesses and will bethere regardless of changes toadjacent businesses.

I applaud the courage of thecity council in getting this farand hope the good work willcontinue.

Council working to improve Madeira

David A.SamsCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

I’ll say this for Greg Bing-geli, he sure gives me plentyto write about.

Mr. Binggeli posted abunch of fact-free opinions inresponse to James Baker’scall for a substantial increasein the minimum wage. If theformer had spent a mere 15-20minutes exploring the In-ternet, he actually would havebeen able to comment intelli-gently.

According to Mr. Binggeli,raising the minimum wage to$19-$21/hour would more thandouble the payroll of smallbusinesses. This, he says, will“not only increase the cost ofhis product, it will ultimatelyforce him to lay off the verypeople Mr. Baker purports to

help.” DoesMr. Binggelihave any ideaof how manypeople earnthe minimumwage (orless)? Accord-ing to the Bu-reau of LaborStatistics, in2014, it was 3.9percent of the

total workforce, aged 16 andolder (www.bls.gov).

The states with the highestpercentages of hourly paidworkers earning at or belowthe federal minimum wagewere Arkansas, Indiana andLouisiana.

He also states that most

such earners are “...youngkids and the elderly lookingfor some extra cash.” Howev-er, according to the EconomicPolicy Institute in Washing-ton, D.C., using 2013 Bureau ofLabor Statistics data(www.epi.):

» The average age of aminimum-wage earner is 35years.

» 88 percent are over 20years old.

» 36 percent are 40 years orolder.

» 56 percent are women.» 28 percent have children.» 28 percent work full time.» On average, they earn

half of the family’s total in-come.

Doubling the minimum

wage does not necessarilymean a doubling of retailprice.

An article published in theHouston Chronicle, and writ-ten by Clayton Browne ofDemand Media, a Santa Mon-ica, California-based informa-tion firm (smallbusi-ness.chron.com), noted that,“According to the Food Mar-keting Institute, the averageU.S. food retail business hadtotal labor costs of 14.6 per-cent of sales in 2007.” So usingthat 14.6 percent rate anddoubling it, a sandwich thatcosts $2 would rise in price,all other costs remainingsteady, by about 30 cents.

Mr. Binggeli just repeatsthe tired, right-wing fallacies

that conservatives love torattle off. as usual, they’reill-informed and fact free. AsStephen Colbert once noted,“Facts have a well-knownliberal bias.” So, hurray to Mr.Baker for tackling one of themajor social issues of the day.And I believe Mr. Binggelineeds to brush up on factsinstead of getting his informa-tion from the right-wing noisemachine.

Christmas or holiday magic in your life.

CH@TROOM

THIS WEEK’S QUESTIONLooking to 2016, if you can grant one wish for your community, whatwould it be?

Every week we ask readers a question they can reply to via email. Send your answers [email protected] with Ch@troom in the subject line.

It is a blood sport, a game oflife and death. It reminds me ofthe times my flight instructorwould direct our flight to about2,000 feet, pull the throttle backto idle, and say, “Now, what areyou going to do?” This deadengine game would alwaysoccur at the most unexpectedtimes, like most auto accidents.

2,000 feet is not that high,with no engine. You attempt tofind the most friendly openspot in a grassy field, or road,set up a landing pattern, and asthe wheels just touch theground, your instructor shovesthe throttle to full power andshouts, “I didn’t intend for youto actually land.” (Well, I did.

After all, itwas a matterof life anddeath). Thisguy was a jetjock in Korea;he liked tochase geese ina Cessna 152.He loved aero-batic maneu-vers; he was acrazy man; I

was just a beginning studentpilot, with two kids and enoughrational fear to do it by thebook.

Driving is a game of a fewfeet; flying is a game of a fewthousands of feet. Driving actu-

ally requires your full attention100 percent of the time; flyingrequires that you monitor theflight panel regularly to makecertain all systems are normal,while looking outside for pos-sible traffic, which is usuallynon-existent, except aroundairports.

Driving conditions changeas quickly as the driver next to,or ahead of you changes hismind. He may not know thatyou have pulled along side ofhim in the passing lane. Hemay decide that he wishes topass the car ahead of him, andsuddenly his car begins aswerve into your lane. What doyou do? You swerve into the

outside emergency lane toavoid the sideswipe. If youhave been paying attention, youwill know that no cars, or de-bris, are there.

You are driving south onMontgomery Road, north ofInterstate 275. As you passthrough an intersection withthe green light, a lady in hermid 30s suddenly darts in frontof you, as she is turning left.She is obviously in a hurry;however, her timing could nothave been poorer. Every bit ofyour driving experience in-forms you that your car will bein her front passenger seat. Atthe first glimpse of her carturning left you lit up the

brakes and listened, as thegiant Michelins intermittentlysqualled at each wheel. Youhave never heard such noise, orexperienced such braking, asthe computer assisted brakingsystem recognizes that you aremaking a panic stop, and kicksin, stopping your car two feetshort. Did you ‘luck out?” No,you were paying attention.

You cannot drive withoutaccidents, if you talk on thephone, text, or are accompa-nied by passengers who insistthat you look at the scenery.

Don’t take drugs, or drinkand drive.

KENWOOD – Shortly afterNASA’s Gemini V missioncarrying astronauts CharlesConrad and Gordon Cooperreturned to Earth Aug. 29,1965, Moeller High School’sfirst legendary football seasonwas about to blast off underGerry Faust.

The Beatles released fouralbums in ’65, including“Help” but the Crusadersneeded little aid. Moellerplowed through 10 opponents –unscathed just five years afterFaust started the programwith freshmen in 1960.

There was no state champi-onship. Ohio playoffs didn’tbegin until 1972. Faust eventu-ally had nine undefeated reg-ular seasons and five statetitles from 1975-1980.

During the weekend of Oct.2-3, the Crusaders gatheredfor a 50-year reunion whichincluded a tour of the school, ameeting with the currentMoeller team, a trip to Lock-land Stadium for that night’sgame against La Salle and agathering the next day.

The leader and his crewFaust, 80, is 13 years older

than most of the ‘65 seniors.The former Notre Dame andUniversity of Akron coach stilllooks much like his Moellerstatue on the back practicefield.

Faust remembers having 80players that year, 42 juniorsand 38 seniors. He cut four ofthem, then later brought themall back. Ahead of their time inthe mid-60s, the Moeller staffused a platoon system of of-fense and defense.

“We were always strongerin the fourth quarter,” Faustsaid.

Though the statistics showobvious standouts on the team,Faust is hesitant to pinpointone over the other for recog-nition.

Dave Wilcoxson gained 709yards for the Crusaders dur-ing the season and scored 13touchdowns. However, in aninterview with Hal McCoyafter Moeller’s 15-6 win overDayton Chaminade, Faust wassure to mention that Wilcox-son couldn’t do it without theblocking of the offensive line.

Faust also deflects creditand cites his his ‘65 assistantsJim Gates, Phil Gigliotti, PaulKenny, Bill Meloy, Dan Shea,George Marklay and TimRose.

Bill Clark is listed in the1965 banquet program as “Agreat friend of Moeller.” Hiscontribution to the Crusaderswas starting their weight pro-gram, another area where

that fall, with five shutouts.A defensive end in those

games was Jim Schwertman.A member of the team in pre-vious seasons, he was actuallycut by Faust as a senior. Even-tually, he was persuaded tocall Schwertman back twodays later.

“I went back and didn’tstart, but ended up playingpretty much of the first gameagainst Princeton,” Schwert-man said.

Sitting in an upstairs con-ference room at Moeller, re-union sweatshirts were hand-ed out, name tags attached andstories began.

Some of the players havelost hair, while some havelonger hair than their highschool days and beards. AsFaust implores them to shave,they now chuckle fearlessly.

Dave Wilcoxson is stillaround his listed playing sizeof 6-foot-2 and 211 pounds,which at the time made himthe second-heaviest player onthe roster.

Wilcoxson was a fullback inthe T-formation and is consis-tently referred to as “big,strong, husky and burly” inclippings from the day. In apinch, he looks like he maystill be good for a yard or two.Of the Moeller victories,Game 4, a 17-0 shutout of Rog-er Bacon stands out.

As the legendary coachreminisces, his phone rings.Faust seems pretty comfort-able working his flip phonewhich rings as much as anycurrent coach’s device

“I get a lot of calls,” Faustsaid. “I used to stop at everyrest area at a pay booth andmake phone calls when I wasrecruiting at Notre Dame.”

Fifty years later, Faust isstill coaching. Whether it isadvice to 67-year-old men or amessage via flip phone, theraspy voice always rings true.

they were pioneers. Workingthe night shift at Procter andGamble, Clark installed Moell-er’s first “weight room” in hisbasement.

Truthfully, it wasn’t “AirFaust” as Bien was 37-for-88for five touchdowns and Ey-soldt was 14-for-27 for twoscores. However, it was thestart of a slotting system ofquarterbacks for future devel-opment.

While many of today’steams run “camps” and “two-a-days” from late July intoearly August, Moeller’s sched-ule was a little more rigid.During the summer, the Cru-saders had three sessions:8-10:30 a.m., then 1-1:45 p.m.,on the kicking game. Fromthere, they worked until 4:30p.m., on the passing game.

The success of the offenseis well documented, but it wasa new defense that threw 10opponents for a loop.

“We were one of the firstschools in the country to play a4-4 defense,” Faust said. “It’snot the same as the 4-4 today.No one knew how to block it.We shifted from a 4-4 to a 5-2during the games to make iteven worse for them.”

With the new scheme,Moeller allowed just 33 points
