BAD DAY FOR
THE OCALA BOYS
Lost the Game I'm Tampa to HilIsborO
High school by 13 to o
(Tampa Tribune, 10th)

| The Hillsborough High School elev-
en- proved an insurmoun bic barrier to
| the crack Ocala eleven yesterday aft
| ernoon and the victors OF the Ocala-
| Duval game were on the short end of
| a 13 to o score.
The Terriers excelled in every de-
| partment of the game and the visitors
| never had a real chance TO score. By
| superior, playing did they march their
way to within fifteen yards of the
Ocala goal when a forward pass, Low
/ ry to Ramsdell, counted the first tally
! of the day The second score came
after two runs by Conoley and Spark
man totaling eighty yards put the ball
Ion Ocala's ten-yard line. Three rush
| es failed as did a forward pass and the
| ball went over. Ocala could not gain
and was forced to kick. Bushnell broke
| through and blocked the kick and
| Robes fell on the ball after it had
rolled across the line.
Terriers Out Play OcaIa
In open field running, tackling, fol-
| lowing the ball, kicking, running and
handling of the ball the Terriers held
| the palm all the way. The local lads
| taekling was clean and hard, as was
the way they handled the ball, they
making only one tumble and recovered
that themselves. Hatton outkicked
Davis, His kicks were high and car
ried a good distance,
I The game was marked by much
squabbling, all of which could have
| been done away with if the members
Of the teams would look up and read
rifle book. The visitors were the
principal offenders in this line and at

and delayed the game for at least five
minutes.
| Sparkman Stars
| Tammany Sparkman, the Terriers
right half, won his way to the hearts
of the local girl followers by his sem
sational work. From the beginning TO
the end this youngster was the main
| spring of the locals offense. 1t was
runs by him that put the ball in posi-
| tion for both of the Hillsborough
! scores,
| In running a broken field he was un-
equaled on the field. His stiff arm was
perfect and had he been a little more
| speedy his last run would have been
! for fifty yards and a touchdown instead
| of forty Fleckenstein came up and
got him from behind. Conoley played
| a corking good tackle until put in at
, full when Captain Asp was forced to
retire and then he starred some all by
| himself in that position. He grabbed
| one of Davis kickoffs and raced thru
an OPEN field forty yards, stiff arming
and lodging man after man before Da-
| Wis got him from behind.
| Zimmerman played his usual game
and responded nobly when called on
for a few yards. The tackling of
Bushnell, Ramsdell, Henderson and
| Asp was all that could be desired and
Coach Hopkins has naught but to feel
! exceedingly proud of the work of his
| charges. The fact that in every de-
partment of the game did they excel
their opponents speaks we'll for his
Ithoroughness.
| Terriers Follow the Ball
Besides not fumbling themselves the
local swineskin artists showed great
laptitude in recovering the elusive oval
on most of Ocala's misplays. Robles
secured two himself, one of them
counting for a touchdown.
Fleckenstein and Zewadski were the
stars for Ocala. They got away from
several good runs and their tackling
was all that could be desired. Davis
at quarter ran his team well and was a
|
well as being reliable when a yard or
so was needed real badly.
How 1t Was Done
Captain Asp booted the ball forty
yards and Meffert ran it back fifteen
yards before he was downed. Three
attempts at the line failed and Davis
kicked. Sparkman and Zimmerman got
twelve yards through the line and then
Sparkman got away around left end
for 20 yards. Zimmerman got ten
around the other end Ocala was
penalized five yards for offside and
braced. Asp got five, but the next
three attempts failed and Hatton boot
ed out of bounds. at Ocala's twenty
yard line.
| Fleckenstein took five and after a
tumble took eight more. Davis got
, away for fifteen and Zewadski ten
The Terriers took a brace and forced
the Ocalans to kick. Zimmerman and
Asp got sixteen but Lowry lost eight
Hatton sent a sky-scraper which Mef-
fert muffed aid Farrior recovered the
ball for Hillsborough. Ocala lost five
for onside and on a fake Sparkmar
: ploughed through the entire Ocala
eleven for 80 yards and put the bal
on Ocala's ffteen-yard line. On the
third down Lowry faxed an end rur
and sent the ball hurling over the goa
line to the waiting Ramsdell who
dropped with the ball while two hun.
dred Hillsborough rooters went wild
Hatton's punt out could not have beer
improved on nor could his placement
which made the score to 0.
The second quarter ended soon after
> with the ball in the middle of the field
When the second nalf opened the Wis
itors apparently started down tn,
field. Dewey came around from hi!
, guard position and got eleven. Fleck
! enstein and Meffert added ten NOR,
but the ball went over on downs wher
Davis fumbled with only one yard t
go,
Captain Asp was tackled on the mex
, play and his weak ankle jolted up
, which necessitated his leaving tn,
game. Conoley went in at fullbacl
and Tucker took COnoley's place a
table. Zimmerman took fifteen yard
but the next four tries failed and tn
ball went over. From then on to tn
! end of the period the ball see-sawe
with each side kicking on the third o
fourth down.
