The Odds were organized in 1913 under the leadership of Victor Jaskolski, who coached, and Joseph Pazick, who managed the team.
In 1925, the Odds were undefeated during the regular season; however, the team then played the 27th Ward Traders in semi-finals for the independent championship of Western Pennsylvania.
In the 1920s and 1930s The Odds played against many of the early professional football teams from Pennsylvania, most notable the Art Rooneys Majestics and McKeesport Olympics.
Prior to these successful seasons, a lack of interest by the people of Glassport and poor equipment almost caused the team to disband.
Prior to the 1943 season, the entire squad of 22 players were drafted into the United States military to fight in World War II.
