clever forward passing scored an
other.
Wesleyan expected an easy game
IN spite OF Marietta's record Of de-

( Bein, Marshall and other good Ohio
teams. but the lighter Marietta backs

and Wesleyan found 1t diiicult TO
gain. It must be said however, that
when; pressed Wesleyan's defense
was superb. Once after q bad pass
on the fourth down had given MARI
eta the ball on the four-yard line,
the Wesleyan forwards charged in
/ So viciously that it took away the
ball on the fourth down ten yards
further back up the field. On an
other occasion lateral pass went,
bad for Wesleyan on its fifteen-yard
line, but after three ineffective
tries at the w esleyan line forward
pass was grounded for touchdown

On Marietta's first rush up the
field after the kickoff Wesleyan held
for downs on the fifteen yard line.
as a whole the play was even during
most of the first half. Taking the
ball on downs Wesleyan rushed 1t
straight down the field but tried for

Then Marietta came back and with
two nice gains off the end and three
neatly executed forward passes, car
ried the ball seventy yards for q
touchdown.
Wesleyan's play throughout the
first half was spfritless and without
punch" "A number OF substitutions,
however. speeded up the play and
soon after the second half started
Jacobs intercepted forward pass
on his own fofty-yard line and Wes-
leyan's first march started. Beck
gained eight yards, Jacobs nine yards
and Beck eight yards again. "A pass,

tysfiye yards, Jacobs gained five
yards, Beck two yards, Jacobs eight
Yards, Jacobs eight yards again for
a touchdown. Marietta received the
ssiRext kickoff, ran back thirty yards
4nd then completed a8pass for forty
1 Yards and before Wesleyan had re-
covered from that blow completed
another pass. for a touchdown. Wes-
leyan came right back, however. and
taking the ball from its own twen-
" yard line, after touchback had
4 been registered, Jacobs made five
yards, Beck four yards. Beck eight
yards, Beck seven yards. Jacobs five
yards, Shumaker fifteen yards, Jacobs
five yards; a pass from Blake to
Morrison netted thirty yards. Shu-
maker made five yards, and Jacobs
went the remaining distance for a
touchdown.
Marietta received the next kickoff
but Wesleyan forced 1t to punt and
taking the ball on its own twenty
yard line the Orange and Black
marched straight up the field on sue
cessiye PUSHES with Shumaker, Ja-
cobs and Beck alternating with line
/ plunges and an occasional pass to
Martetta's fifteen yard line and was
getting ready for a goal from place
! ment which If made would have won
the game when the whistle blew.
The playing Of Jacobs and Beck
was spectacular in the extreme, but
with two West Virginia coaches on
the side lines practically nothing but
straight football was exhibited. But
these two Wesleyan backs helped oc-.
casionally by Shumaker, Miller and
Blake. tore off big gains and were
seldom stopped. Kellison, Morrison
and Heavier played in sensational
style on, the defense and when Allen
went in at center a noticeable tight
ening up resulted. Swan at left
guard was also very much in the line
light and he often hurled the MARI
eta team back on their passes.
Heavener's kicking was especially,
good and Wesleyan gained from Ave
to twenty-five yards on each ex-
change.
