Editing Cincinnati Celts (section)

===Origins===
The Celts were established in 1910 as a [[semi-professional|semi-pro]] team made up primarily of players from [[Miami University]] in nearby [[Oxford, Ohio|Oxford]].  During the first 10 years of their existence, the team flourished while playing numerous semi-pro teams from Ohio. An early member of the squad, [[George Roudebush]], referred to the team as being run “by a bunch of wild Irishmen.” In 1914, [[Lou Partlow]] played for the Celts.

====1916 Pine Village game====
One of the greatest moments in the team's early existence came against a team from [[Pine Village, Indiana]], in 1916. While Pine Village consisted of only 300 residents, it was the top team in Indiana before [[World War I]], compiling a record of 12 undefeated seasons. In 117 games, the team had only one tie-game finish. Pine Village faced the Celts before a crowd of 2,500 people in nearby [[Lafayette, Indiana|Lafayette]]. With Pine Village leading  Cincinnati 6–2, the Celts were forced to [[Punt (gridiron football)|punt]]. George Roudebush then lined up behind the punter. Under the rules of the time, anyone lining up behind the punter was eligible to recover the kick as a free ball. After the ball was kicked, Roudebush ran down the field. Pine Village, not wanting to touch the ball, was unaware that Roudebush was eligible to recover it. Roudebush recovered the ball in the Pine Village [[end zone]], giving the Celts a 9–6 victory.
