PENNINGTON HIGH TOO
~ MUCH FOR PERRYVILLE

lAaSC sOaLufuay AFTERNOON, on the
Ozark field, Pennington High obtained
revenge on Perryyille High for the
game Of the previous week. Referee
"Pap Woods called the game at 2
o'clock, Pennington receiving the
kick off. The first quarter the ball
changed hands repeatedly, neither
team being able to gain consistently.
On several occasions Perryville Highs
two plunging back-field men, "Bud"
Jarvaux and Giele, shot through the
Pennington line for good gains, but
the Pennington defense always stiff
fened before their goal was in danger.
At the close of the first quarter, nei-
Their team could claim the advantage.
The second quarter was almost rep
etition of the first.
Shortly after the beginning of the
third quarter, it could be seen that
the Pennington boys were fighting
with a determination that meant VIC
tory for them. Perryville was I'M
able to gain with any success through
the line, and the Pennington boys on
the wings were tackling low and hard.
About five minutes after the third
quarter had started, on a well eXecut-
ed forward pass, Pennington put the
ball on Perryville's fifteen-yard line,
From~there, by some pretty line
plunging by Halter and an end run
by Mckinney, Pennington advanced
the ball to Perryville's courtyard line.
Two line plunges netted Pennington
two yards, and it began to look as
| though the Perryville line would hold,
but by reason Of an off-side play by
Perryville's right tackle, Pennington
was given another opportunity, and
this time Halter knitted his way
through for touchdown. The try at
goal was missed After this, Farm
ington clearly outplayed Perryville.
Pennington then received the kickoff
and began another march to Perry
ville's goal. Another clever forward
pass, spectacular end run by Burks,
Farmington's right half, and some
hard line plunging by Halter and La
Pere, gave Pennington the ball on
Perryville's three-yard line. On the
next play, an off-tackel buck, the ball
was fumbled and rolled across the
Perryville goal line, but Grove was
right on the job and recovered the
JAIL CllSASpy GIVING a HAlSVuil ehSh
second touchdown. The try at goal
was missed.
About the middle of the fourth
quarter, Perryville attempted for
ward pass which was not completed.
In this play the Perryville captain
claimed that Farmington's right
tackle, Radle, interfered with the Per-
ryville man attempting to catch the
pass. Neither the referee nor the
head linesman saw the play that way,
but held that the Perryville man, try
ing to recover the pass, ran into and
fell over Radle who was on the
ground. The umpire upheld Perry
ville's contention, and the referee, af-
ter ordering Perryville to resume play
and waiting the required length of
time, declared the game forfeited, af-
ter the Perryville coach refused to
continue the game.
We do not desire to criticise either
the referee or the Perryville coach for
their action. We believe that both
stood up for their contention as they
honestly saw the play. The game be-
ing forfeited, the official score stood
10 in FarmingtonS favor Fer Per-
ryville, Jarvaux was the star. The
Perryville team as a whole played
4 fairly well, but did not show the pep
and snap" that marked the playing
of the Pennington boys. 1t would be
unfair to try to pick out any individ-
ual stars on the Pennington team.
The entire bunch, especially after the
first quarter played hard, fast,
clean game. Coach Dearmont is en-
titled to a great deal of credit, for
the team shows careful and earnest
training. Their interference on the
offense was dandy, and their tackling
of the mailing" variety. During the
remainder of their schedule, we pre-
dict that the boys will give mighty
good account of themselves, and if
they do not win all of their games,
the team that beats them will realize
that they have been up against one
of the fastest, grittiest bunches that
ever wore spiked shoes.
