Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1900-11-04
ELEVEN TO NOTHING
Was Mahetta's Score Against ParksrSburg
In SATURDAYS Game.

The game yesterday was witnessed
| by only a fair crowd. 1t was expected
that the close proximity of two rival
towns would bring out a larger crowd
than was on the Fair Grounds Satur-
day. The weather was excellent for
| the players, being not hot enough to
fag them out and temperate enough
to avoid the other extreme Of being
chilly. A crowd of 40 or so wearers of
the red and white came up with Park
ersburg' team,r They were rather in
clined to think that P. A. G. would win
the game, but they returned sadder
and a wiser lot of rooters.
Two 90 minute halves were agreed
upon. Moore, of Marietta. and James.
of Parkersburg, officiated as referee
and umpire.
Marietta was not able to put several
of her best players in the field. The
Parkersburg team averaged between
155 and 100 pounds, while the Marietta
players had slight advantage on ac-
count of their heavier weight, but as
several of the regular men were laid
out the contest gave promise of being
not so one-sided as was at first sup
posed.
Parkersburg kicked off TO Marietta.
THORNLEY, made 40 yard run with
practically no interference to clear the
way. Marietta made gains of four and
six yards. BY gains, rather slow, Ma
rietta advanced the ball to near P. A.
C.'s goal line. When the Is yard line
was reached Cole was successful in his
goal from the field.
On the second kick off the old criss
cross trick was tried and Griffiths
made 35 yards. Cole was sent across
the line for a touchdown. He kicked
goal. Score, Marietta II; F. A. c., O,
This score could not be changed and
the game closed with this number of
points in Marietta's favor.
Marietta played the worst ball seen
on the grounds this year, or in fact
ever witnessed on the home grounds.
touchdowns on P. A. c., but owing to
repeated fumbling this result could
not be achieved. Time and again Ma
rietta had the ball within a short dis
tance of P. A. C.'s goal, but the latter
tpunted down the field. The backs re-
ceiving the ball failed to return on ac-
count of fumbles and the distance had
to be regained by hard bucks and runs
when the same result again attained.
The interference was poor on Mari
etta's part and during the most of the
time, the play was slow; P. A. C.'s
punts were only for short distances
but Marietta was unfortunate in get
ting or returning them The Marietta
boys, of course, did not try to play ball
with as much vigor as though theJ
were playing large college team. OF
course, the game Saturday was more
in the nature of a practice game, but
the score should have been larger and
would have been had not Marietta
made so many fumbles and mistakes.
