Columbus East High school won oV-
er Mt. Vernon at football Saturday
afternoon by score of 62 to o. The
game was played at Riverside park.
Speed, weight and wonderful execu-
ton of the forward pass account for
East's big score. Their forward pass
formation was different from anything
of the kind that the locals have had
to contend with this year and, con-
sequently, they were almost helpless
before it. The best crowd of the sea-
son turned out to the game.
The visitors had an exceedingly
heavy high school team, and while the
Mt. Vernon lads played far better
football than in the Mt Gilead game,
the forwards were hurled backward
| by sheer weight The East backs
could not be stopped before they had
times they reeled off runs of from 20
to 80 yards. Harley, the fleet quarter
back of the visitors, displayed mar
velous ability in advancing the ball.
On one occasion he started on an end
run. Being blocked at the end, he cut
through the broken field OFF tackle
and lodged every tackler in his path.
He ran 80 yards for touchdown. 1t
was in this run that Harley showed

field he sprinted at top speed for so
yards and then was able to slow down
to trot so far had he outdistanced
the MI. Vernon pursuers in the SO
yards.
Porter and Ewalt played the best
defensive game for Mt. Vernon. No
one had chance on the offeRse. The
heavy East backs broke through on
every play and stopped them before
the local backs before they could get
started. The longest gain was made
by Ewalt who wriggled through
Holmes for yards. Van Voorhis
played an excellent defensive game
on right end, spelling numerous Eas
formations that started that way. Sew
eral times he spilled the runner with
out gain. Melick also showed marked
Improvement at left guard.
