allowed and the referee had the ball
brought back for the kick.
The Indians used the Pennsylvania
formation, playing their ends away
in on the line both on the offensive
and defensive, this accounts for their
wonderful work in stopping the heavy
line plunges aimed against them They
demonstrated, however, light team
could go through the heavy Tiger
line. All their gains were made Oh
straight football, their style OF going
through the line however, is peculiar
ly their own. They look for the small
est opening and instead OF trying to
break the line down try to go through
the openings by wiggling and twist
ing.
Exendiue, the star guard, displayed
his nerve when he went into the
game towards it's close. He was still
nursing two broken ribs, but this did
not daunt him and upon his pleading
with the coach to play he was sent In
for the last part of the second half.
There was great deal of fumbling
on both sides. the ball was so wet
and slippery that it made its handling
very difficult for all the players. The
fumbling, however, did not aid either
side in scoring.
/ The Massilon team did not use
good Judgment several times during
The first half. Instead o. punUing when

endeayor to make their yards and
many times lost the ball on downs.
The punting of the Carlisle man was
not up to the Standard the ball often
going so high in the air that the dis
tance covered by the kick was small.
However, this gave the men a better
chance to down the man who caught
the ball. A better showing would
have been made had Hayden punted
in many instances, instead of giving
the ball to the Reds on downs.
Both sides were penalized for off
side play, Massillon losing 10 yards ir
two penalties and the Indians rs yards
in three, one of which was 10 yards
for holding.
A number of times during the game
time had to be taken out for the
measuring of the distance gained,
/ by the referee, the ground being so
stubbornly contested that 6 inches
less of a gain would have given the
ball to the other team.
The work of the officials was quite
satisfactory. Geo. CASTOR as usual

and unwilling to give either team
the benefit of even doubt. The off.
side plays were not always penalized,
both teams however failed to observe
the off-side playing as they should
have done. .
HOW THE POINTS WE'RE MADE.
In the first half the Tigers were un-
able to cross the goal line, their two
points being scored on a safety. The
ball had been punted to the Indians
and rolled across the goal line, Lib

a safety counting two points. 1t
was poor judgment used on the part
OF Libbey, as he should have downed
the ball without trying to advance 1t
which would have given him a free

Massillon got the bail in the second
half on Carlisle's 25 yard line, having
blocked an attempted kick, on the

plunges, Moran bucked twice and the
ball was within yard of the goal line,
nothing could stop them, Mathews be

on the Carlisle team and today was
) the only man to cross their line.
J Schrontz kicked the goal in nice shape
! the ball going fairly between the
posts.
The Indians, with the score 8 to
