M.H.S. WINS
SECOND GAME
Defeated Barberton
by Good Score,
Saturday Afternoon
MILLER AND BALTZLY STARRED
They Played Fast Ball, as Did the Entire Team
Visitors Resorted to Trick of Playing Old 1909
Football
New Plays Were Worked Out for Massillon
The Massillon high school is
celebrating another important victory as the result of the fast, scientific
playing against Barberton
high school on the local grounds Saturday afternoon.
Barberton resorted almost
entirely to animal strength, fearing to try quick plays
or passes, for the Massillon
ends were ever on the alert. Only once
did the visitors make any material gain on one of their own trick plays which
was nothing more than an ordinary pass, manufactured in 1909 and laid up on the shelf until Saturday. The entire game showed Massillon’s superior football training.
Miller, left halfback for Massillon high, could be seen in the thickest
of every play and was always an important factor. Time and again he broke through the Barberton line and threw
off tackling opponents. Baltzly,
too did the same thing time after time and found non-breakable interference
whenever opportunity presented itself.
THE GAME

alternated at following strong interference for good gains. Kester carried the
