High Gridders Give Crack
Toledo Scott Eleven Hard Battle
Gridiron warriors of
Washington high school didn’t defeat Toledo Scott, one of the strongest
scholastic teams in the state, at Toledo Saturday, but they did accomplish a
feat which no other team has been able to do this season.
They
gave the Toledo school its stiffest battle since it commenced its unbroken
string of victories four years ago and made the first points scored against the
upstaters this season. Had the breaks
not favored the up-state eleven, a different tale might be recorded today. As it was Scott won 21 to 14, scoring the
winning touchdown in the fourth quarter when Flues broke away from the local
team and ran 40 yards for Scott’s third set of counters.
A
fumble by Captain Archbold on Massillon’s 20-yard line in the second quarter
gave Scott it’s first chance to score.
An injury to Stuhldreher, who had been ripping the Toledo team to shreds
by his brilliant offensive work, in this same period, forcing his retirement
from the game until the second half hurt Massillon and shifted the offensive
power, which had rested with Coach Snavely’s lads until Stuhldreher’s injury,
to Scott. These combined breaks gave
Toledo a chance to score two touchdowns in the second quarter and wrest the lead
from the local team which had plowed through Scott for a set of counters in the
first period.
Stuhldreher’s
brilliant 45-yard run shortly after the game commenced gave Massillon its
opportunity to register the first points scored on Scott this season. Scott held for three downs but on the fourth
Stuhldreher bucked it over.
Massillon’s
second touchdown came in the third quarter on a long forward from Greenfelder
to Herrman, who ran 25 yards after receiving the pass. Scott’s best bet was a reserve play which it
made several long gains. Stuhldreher
twice went through the Toledo team for gains of 45 yards.
Scott
outweighed Massillon but the orange and black fought on even terms with its
husky opponents and had not fortune favored the upstaters the result might have
been in Massillon’s favor.
