Wednesday’s Game

a High School Victory

THE FOOTBALL MEETING

 

The Massillon Football Team Orders Uniforms

and Selects Royal Blue and White as Its Colors

The Bowling Contest

 

The football prestige of the business college sustained a serious blow, Wednesday afternoon, when a team, playing under its colors, was defeated by the high school team, on the latter’s grounds, by the score of 30 to 0.  At one time it looked as if there would be no game.  Manager Young, of the business college, put in his appearance, but the larger part of his team, evidently wiser and possessed of more timidity, from a former experience with the game, failed to put in an appearance.  However, after borrowing several players form the high school team, impressing several more from among the spectators, and securing an agreement from the manager of the former team to play with but ten men the team was ready to play.  The victors showed superiority in practice from the very outset.  Besides its lack of this, the business college team was also outclassed in weight.  Five of the six high school touchdowns were made in the first half, the business college team bracing up in the latter part of the game.  William Boerngen acted as referee.  Ray Markel as umpire, and William Kay as timekeeper.
