TOLEDO TIES SlLETZ

Sunday on Siletz gridiron, on
a very rough field Toledo bat
tied with Siletz in hotly con-
tested game Of football.
Toledo, light but fast, met
every charge directed by the
heavy warriors. The game
started off with Toledo kicking
to Siletz. Siletz making fierce
attacks through the Toledo line.
Their charging tore holes in the
line like howitzer. The Tole-
do team had not got fired up un-
til Siletz had battered and
pounded their line, making yard
age at will, to within few feet
of the goal. The husky war
riors then sent another AZ cent?
meter shot into the front rank
of the Toledoites for the, first
touchdown, also kicking goal.
Score, Siletz 7, Toledo 0.
The roofing of the fans after
this reached such a height that
time wass called frequently to
quiet the crowd.
Second half: Toledo pulled
herself together and not to be
outdone by her husky warriors
opponents, pounded them for
repeated gains. Many passes
were attempted but were inter-
rupted. Then a fake punt net
ted Toledo 80 yards, Cannon"
carrying the ball. Then Carson
tore around right end for a 20
yard run which was interrupted
by umpire Casey getting in Car
sons track, otherwise he had a
clear field for a touchdown. Ref
cree Lane offered to nurse Ca
sey, inquiring as to the extent
of his injury, If any.
Plucky Nels, center for Tole-
do, in scooping up the ball on a
run, was being tackled, and the
timely aerial leap of Billy Volk,
head on with arms outstretched,
pel-mel into the warrior with
deadly effect, undoubtedly saw
ing Nels from injury.
Finally with line plunge by
Mcmillan and Cannon" then a
forward pass, Carson to "Stur-
dy," netting Is yards, brought
the ball within striking distance
of the goal. For a while Toledo
played together as clock work,
but soon became ragged with
more pounding through Siletz
line. Carson soon placed the
oval over the line for the first
touchdown for Toledo, later
kicking a perfect goal at off
ficult angle, with only 40 seconds
to complete the quarter. End
third quarter, SiletZ 7, Toledo z.
Siletz kiced off, Toledo run
ming ball back. A forward pass
Carson to Mcmillan, netting a
good gain, a long end run by
Sturdy" soon put the ball close
to the goal. A forward pass was
made across the line for another
touchdown but was disallowed
on account of offside play. To-
ledo was penalized ten yards for
offside play, then a series of hard
line bucking and a completed
pass, Carson to Ofstedahl, netted
the required gain, but was
thrown back for loss. Siletz
Ipunted out of danger. Whistle
blew ball resting on five yard
line.

west, non-conference, halfback
