was a failure and the visitors lined up
for the next kickoff with six points to
their credit. It looked now like an
easy Barberton victory.

showed q brilliant attack. The backs
plowed through the heavy brown and
white line for short gains and then

touchdown but were severely penalized
when they had reached Barberton's Is
yard line. Just what the big penalty
was for the Barberton referee did not
satisfactorily explain. With the ball

Reeder attempted drop kick. The
kick failed and Barberton put the ball
into play on their 20 yard line. Two

drop kick between the posts. The
note besides the drop kick occurred in
the third period.
The fourth period resulted in moth
ing except near fight, but this unde-
sirable occurrence was avoided by a
number of spectators who took hand
in the affair. Barberton lost hard but
