MASSILLON HIGH WINS FAST GAME FROM NEW PHILA.
Massillon high added another victory to its list Saturday afternoon, when
it defeated New Philadelphia 14 to 0 on the local grounds. New Philadelphia out played the varsity
during the first half, using only line bucks.
The New Philadelphia team tore up the local line repeatedly for
substantial gains. In the second half
the tide turned and Massillon asserted itself and played New Philadelphia off
its feet.
Hollinger was the shining light in Saturday’s contest, making both
touchdowns and playing a strong defensive game. The first score was made in the third quarter when Holly captured
a New Philadelphia forward and raced 25 yards for a touchdown. Kester kicked goal. The second touchdown was made in the last
quarter on a forward pass from Kester to Hollinger, who ran 45 yards for the
down. Kester kicked goal.
Kester still continues to boot the ball.
He easily out punted his opponent Saturday. Jake rammed the line with terrific force, being the only player
to make any gains through the New Philadelphia line. Kester is also good at throwing the forward pass.
Smith played a strong defensive game, the little whitehead being in on
every play. Theis at the other tackle
also gave a good exhibition of defensive work.
Rider at quarter ran the team in good style. Rogers was off form Saturday, not playing the game he is capable
of. It is hoped he will play a better
game next Saturday. McLaughlin and Rudy
made several good end runs while Spidle, Albright and Houriet at guards and
Spuhler at center were in every play.
For New Philadelphia, Wallick and Scott were the shining lights.
The teams were evenly matched in weight and play was kept in the center
of the field during the greater part of the game. Massillon gave a good exhibition of open football trying many
forwards, several of which worked, the trouble being the inability of the man
receiving the pass to hold the ball.
Several more touchdowns would have been added had the ball been held.
Rider tried several drops from difficult angles, one of which crossed the
bars.
New Philadelphia used straight football, continually ramming the line and
making good gains the first half, but the local team took a good brace in the
second half and stopped all attempts at piercing the line.
