1908 FB Hawkins scored the first TD in the first team victory.

Phil Chase accounted for 134 yds rushing and 4 TD's in the 1926 rout of Englewood.

"Moose" Arndt inadvertently stepped over the endline preparing to punt giving the Anodes a safety and the win in the 1928 opener. 

"California" Playoff rules were implemented to break a 0-0 tie between Hub and Dublin Gulch on Oct 22nd, 1933. (date is incorrect)

^1940 Split Season: Hub Addition went 0-4 to start the first half of the season, but in a 4th place vs 5th place playoff the Kelly Greens upset Dublin Gulch 20-0.  This allowed the Kelly Greens to bolster it's lineup with Gulchers who went on to win the 2nd half of the season and upset Anaconda in the Championship.
 
Danny Crowley and Jack McCarthy , both former teammates at Portland University, teamed up to make the yardage difference in California-overtime of the 1940 championship playoff with the Anodes to win the League title.  In the unique rule to league structure, with the regulation game tied 0-0, the teams took turns on 5 alternating plays and the one holding the yardage advantage at the end was awarded the title of Champion.  One yard was the difference and Hub Addition claimed victory.

Centerville did not return to play in 1941 with Hub Addition gaining the services of a number of Highlander starters.
