tells the tale of the Alliance-Massillon football game Saturday afternoon. The weather was ideal for football , the air
was cool and the field was in good condition, except in several spots where it
was too soft. At 3 o’clock the teams
lined up for the kickoff.
Massillon kicked to
Alliance and the ball was returned a short distance. Alliance was held and forced to punt. With the ball in its possession the Massillon team started a series
of runs and bucks that carried the ball within striking distance, but was held
for downs. Alliance punted out of
danger and Massillon duplicated her feat by carrying the ball to the twenty
yard line and losing it on downs.
Alliance tried a forward pass, but Custer was quicker than the Alliance
man and securing the ball he ran for the first touchdown of the game. Heyman
kicked goal. Score 6 to 0.
Massillon again
kicked to Alliance but after a few minutes play the period ended.
In the second period
the ball was carried back and forth and on the thirty yard line Heyman tried
for a drop kick. The ball sailed swift
and true for the goal, but the wind drove it over and it passed about two
inches on the outside of the post.
Alliance lined up for scrimmage but was forced to punt. Massillon now started it machine going and
Sonnhalter was sent over the line for another touchdown and Heyman kicked
goal. Score 12 to 0. Soon afterward the whistle blew for the end
of the first half.
At the beginning of
the second half Alliance kicked to Massillon.
In this half the Alliance team took a brace and started to pull off some
good runs that netted it the necessary number of yards, but it did not long
continue, for Massillon promptly put a stop to it. The Massillon team got the ball and advanced it to the ten yard
line, where it was held for downs.
Alliance punted. Massillon got
the ball and after several downs Heyman tried for another drop but failed. A few minutes later he made a long punt and
the Alliance man was downed behind the line, adding two more points to the
score, making it fourteen. No more
scoring was done and the game ended with the score 14 to 0.
The Alliance team
put up a straight, clean game. The two
teams were matched about evenly in weight, the Alliance team having averaged
150 pounds at the beginning of the season.
Fugate’s aggregation
put up a fine game and made an excellent showing. The line was like a wall and the backs were on the job with all
kinds of steam and used it also. Many times
the Massillon men got through the line and broke up the plays before they were
started. Heyman showed up in especially
fine shape on his punts. He averaged
over 50 yards on all that were made during the game and many went much farther.
The rooters were out
in force Saturday and made things lively.
The boys were out and with Rudy at their head, kept up with the girls
who have here-to-fore done most of the noise making.
