Coach Paul Devine's unbeaten and untied Covington Buccaneers wound up the 1952 football season in grand style Friday night at Smith Field in Covington by grinding out a 19-0 triumph over a highly-touted Brookville team.

The Bradford Railroaders knew they were in trouble before they even stepped on the gridiron to face coach Paul Devine's unbeaten Covington Buccaneers Friday night. After all, the Railroaders have never defeated a Covington team in five previous attempts. In those five meetings the Covington teams have totaled 147 points to the Railroaders' 37, with the closest margin of victory being last season when the Buccaneers won 31-12.

Coach Paul Devine's Covington Buccaneers chalked up their seventh consecutive victory of the year Friday night at Tipp City where they humbled the Red Devilds 33-7 in a game marked by numerous fumbles, penalties and injuries, and at times slowed to snail's pace by confused officials.

Although the fans have all gone home, Smith Field still rings with the echoes of Friday night's roaring crowd, one of the largest ever assembled at the Covington gridiron, that watched coach Paul Devine's Buccaneers hand the Class A West Milton Bulldogs a 44-0 pasting that will live long in the memories of local fans.
