KRIER FLASHES
AS
YOUNGTOWN SOUTH
45 TO 0
TIGER BACK SCORES
SEVEN TOUCHDOWNS
THREE EXTRA POINTS
By LUTHER EMERY
Pudgy Henry Krier, who had to
fight like a demon to retain his left halfback post on the Washington high
football team this fall, came into his own last night and scored every point as
the Washington high Tigers whaled Youngstown South high 45- 0 on Massillon
field before a crowd of 4,000 fans.
Soon after school closed last spring the Flying Dutchman
began training for football by lugging 100-pound cakes of ice to keep down his
worst opponent – overweight. He
succeeded and reported for practice last August weighing less than he did at
anytime last season. Furthermore,
continual training overcame attacks of nervous indigestion which bothered him
frequently last fall.
Scored Seven Touchdown
Krier scored seven touchdowns and
kicked three goals from placement after touchdowns last night as he raced
through the visiting Youngstown South team.
Three came after long runs of 33 yards, 19 yards and 10 yards, while the
others were short plunges of a yard or more through the line of scrimmage.
One-sided as the score may seem, South caused the Tigers
more trouble than has any other team this season. It came within three first downs of the
Tigers mark of 15 and within a yard of attaining the distinction of crossing
the local team’s goal line, something no other team has come close to doing
this season.
A speedy colored boy, Chub Ash was Dusty Ashbaugh’s
leading ground gainer. Time and again he
weaved through the Tiger tackles for sizeable gains and occasionally tossed
passes that advanced the ball deep into
South Threatens Thrice
On no less than three occasions, South had Tiger rooters
massed for a “hold that line” cheer, but each opportunity ended with the
interception or grounding of a pass.
It was late in the fourth quarter that the visiting team,
making its first appearance here in 10 years, tossed a scare into the Tiger
rooters; and the
The trouble started when Port covered a
Myers dropped back from tackle to pass the ball. The first was grounded, but he pegged a
second attempt to Terhanko for a first down on the
23-yard line. A line play gained three
yards and two passes were grounded.
Fourth down coming, Myers dropped back and lobbed another long heave
toward the southeast corner of the field.
Terhanko was going down hard under the ball
and Dutton, trying to knock it down, got his hand on the
Bat Down Passes
With their back to the wall the Tigers batted down three
passes in a row, the last two over the line of scrimmage, to take possession of
the ball on their own 20-yard line.
Their unscored on record had been preserved.
Though the 45 points look big in print, especially when the
opponent was a team with the reputation of Youngstown South, the fact of the
matter is the Tigers did not play as consistently good a game as they did
against either Cleveland Shaw or Sharon.
They yielded more ground from scrimmage and their attack was
rough at times. While their passing
attack gained 138 yards, it was not as effective as last week, partly because
of poor receiving at times. Eight passes
were grounded and five completed. South
completed nine of 24 passes for a gain of 101 yards. Six were intercepted.
The first
Shertzer Scores
But Ball Called Back
The third touchdown would have been Shertzer’s
on a mouse trap play had not the ball been called back when both teams were offside. Krier was then
given the ball and he cut through left tackle for 10 yards and the
touchdown. This time he kicked the extra
point and that concluded the scoring for the first half.
The Tigers lost little time shoving over a touchdown in the
third period. Getting the ball on their own 46-yard line, Dutton pegged it to Shertzer, who ran to the South six-yard line before being
downed. Krier banged through center for the
touchdown, but missed from placement for the extra point.
A 10-yard pass, over the line, Dutton to Lohr
then gained a first down on the 18-yard line, paved the way for the second
touchdown of the period. Jake Gillom, who substituted for D.C. McCants, when the latter was removed from the game because
of a badly split lip, crashed through for 17 yards to the one-yard line. Krier circled his
left end for the touchdown and kicked the extra point.
Two passes, one Dutton to Shertzer
for 20 yards and another Dutton to Krier for 19 yards
put the ball on the one-yard line and again enabled Krier
to plunge over for a touchdown in the first 30 seconds of the fourth period. He
missed the uprights in the try for the extra point.
Dutton Passes 41 Yards to Lange
A 41-yard pass, Dutton to Jack Lange, who fought his way to
the four-yard line, paved the way for the last Tiger score, Krier
going through center for the touchdown.
He placekicked the extra point.
South’s big last minute threat followed and the game ended shortly
thereafter.
The injury of McCants uncovered a
new star for the Tigers, Jake Gillom, whose off
tackle smashes and snake hips delighted the crowd. Gillom, playing
more than half the game, gained nearly every time he carried the ball, the
longest, a dash of 27 yards.
The game was the last night football contest of the
season. The remaining six games will be
played on Saturday afternoons, five here and one at
