The Democratic banner. (Mt. Vernon, Ohio) 1898-192?, 1913-11-25
Kenyon Put Up Good Game
Against Case
But Went Down In Defeat
By A q To IS Score

Millersburg high school was
swamped Saturday afternoon at Riv-
erside park by the Mt. Vernon high
Nschool football team. The score was
81 to T. 1t was a case of an evenly
balanced team with superior coaching
against a team of about equal weight
which evidently had never had the
advantage of coach. The visitors
showed strength at times but these
occasions came only through the eff"
forts of Captain Elder, the huge Mil
lersburg fullback.
The Mt. Vernon team played the
best football of the year. ALI of their
attacks were we'll directed and, while
considerable time was taken between
them, each generally resulted in sub
stantial gains. The Mt. Vernon de.
fense was all that could be desired
although Elder tore through by main
strength several times for good gains.
The special feature was his 30 yard
run for a touchdown in the first peri
cd after he had torn through the en-
tire local line without being downed.
Cramer was tower of strength on
defense The local tackle seldom
failed to break through his man and
spoil the opposing formations before
they were we'll started. Captain
Porter also played a dashing defen-
sive game and was occasionally
pulled back to fullback on the offense.
He scored one of the touchdowns in
the second period. Never was Mt.
Vernon in danger after Elder scored
the only Millersburg touchdown.
The first play of the game was
forward pass, Ewalt to Clayton. The
pass was good but Clayton fumbled.
A few plays followed and Ewalt plant
ed the oval on the 10 yard line An
other play took it to the l yard line
and then the ball was set back on
penalty. Ewalt carried it over for
the first touchdown and Kinsey
kicked goal. Mt. Vernon Z, Millers-
burg 0.
The first play of the second period
was another forward pass, Ewalt to
Clayton. The local end carried the
ball for the second touchdown on this
play. Snow failed goal. Mt. Vernon
13, Millersburg 0.
On the third play after the kick-off
Elder of Millersburg crashed through
on a buck and got clear of all tack
lers. He ran 55 yards for the only
visiting touchdown. Fair kicked goal.

who ran 80 yards across the line.

Millersburg Z.
The next score came very shortly
afterward. The ball was rushed up
to Millersburg's five yard line and

to fullback and was sent over the
necessary distance on straight buck.
