Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1900-11-11
A THIRD DEFEAT
OVertakes the Blue and White Before the
naughtV Sons Of AdeIhert.

n Inc thlrd game OF Jne season was
lost to Western Reserve by Marietta
Saturday afternoon. Coburn did not
accompany the team on account of
cracked collar bone, and Ward was
substituted for center. Farson took
Stanley's position at quarter. The 9TH
er positions were filled by the usual
players Four substitutes. Andrews,
Theme, Outerson and Scott were TAX
en- along, and all saw service in the
scrimmage at various stages. Both
tackles, the left half and the end were
rendered unfit for play and retired
from the field. Scott took H. Brokaw's
position at left end Outerson was put
in G. L. Brokaw's place at left tackle,
Andrews had to make the other tackle,
while Theme had to go to left half.
All these changes were necessitated by
the injuries which the men received.
Western Reserve was in excellent
condition, and as she relied chiefly on
line plays, the retirement of the Mari
eta men is easy to understand.
The halves played we're thirty min
utes each, an exceptionally long per-
iod of time for the halves. Captain
Brokaw evidently held out for this
length of halves, believing his eleven
possessed the greater staying power
and would be able to handle Western
Reserve about as they wished along
toward the latter part of the game.
Mariettas punting, as usual, was ex-
cellent, outclassing Western Reserve,
and making for the Marietta boys 80
yards in three kicks.
1t is rather remarkable that the
northern eleven lost on tricks and had
to depend on hard straight line bucks
and rushes. The line was evidently
smashed to pieces, the big men retired
and Western Reserve would go
through the line for good gains.
Marietta plays Kenyon next Satur-
day at GAINESVILLE, and yesterdays
game may be taken as fair indica-
tion of the probable result of that con-
test. Kenyon and Western Reserve
played tie game, neither scoring, one
week ago Saturday.
The following telegram to the Lead
er from Captain Brokaw gives the de-
tails of the lamentabledefeat
Special to the Leader.
Cleveland, O., Nov. 10.-The game
here today resulted: Marietta, 0;
Western Reserve, 16. Moore and
Stage alternated as umpire and ref
cree. Both of our tackles, our left
half and left end were injured. Out
erson, Andrews, Scott and Theme
went in. The whole team was in bad
shape. We had hard trip; missed the
train at Shelby. We had six new men
in the game and made no fumbles.
The Reserve has strong team, well
trained and in prime condition. The
halves were 80 minutes. Marietta
started by carrying the ball rs yards.
Reserve punted and Marietta netted 80
yards in three kicks. Reserve scored
in both halves, the score being II to 0
at the end of the first half. 1t was
hard game throughout. Reserve de-
pended mostly on line plays. She al
ways lost on tricks. Marietta did all
that was expected. Signed,
G. L. BRoKAW.
