The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1922-10-19


II ever a team showed a comeback,
The locals surely did.
After coming from upstate from
crushing defeat at the hands of Sheri-
dan Hi, by the score of 81 to 0, the To-
Gals donned their uniforms Monday
and Tuesday for light practice and took
the field Wednesday against Newcastle
with slight edge to win. But, by
the law OF common reason, the locals
were never expected to trim their old
rivals as bad as they did.
From the first kickoff, which went
TO Kennedy, it was evident that the
Red and White were going to have a
great day of It. Great interference
was formed wherever a local man got
the ball and Nemarkable gains were
made with apparent ease. Open-field
running was never seen by the local
athletes as was displayed In this game.
jolly Misses KessIer
The almost sure" tackler. Jolly.
! of Newcastle eleven, was baffled time
and again by the speedy little
Whitley" Kessler. jolly was heard to
say after the game, Il never saw such
a clever runner. l actually had my
arms grasped around, what I thought
! to be Kessler, but fould myself CROP
ing the air and the runner continuing
down the field"
This is Kessler's first year in foot
ball and he now runs the ball over the
field like a-fBo McMillin.'
Other experienced en- on the local
eleven to step into the limeIight were
"Gabe" Kennedy and Captain Jack
Mattox. Mattox made his first ap-
pearance in the local backfield to
start the game, and went along in
great style. Walls filled his position
at center.
With their captain working in the
backfield, the Red and White seemed
to gather the needed punch to push
Newcastle far into the distant back
ground by the overwhelming offense.
Kennedy displayed ability with his
educated toe" in Wednesdays tilt
when he kicked three out of five at
tempts at goal after touchdown.
Game Delayed
Quarterback Malone was thought to
have been mixed up in his signals at
the start of the game, but it was found
that he was unable to get the snap
back from Walls, who was rather new
at the position. Malone gave his sig
nails several times, and the delay in
getting the ball caused him to show
stress. After this bit of handicap was
overcome, the team went along in
great style.
Both ends played bang-up football.
Kohnle was able to get through and
get runners in many instances. Sauter
is looming up as a good offensive end,
capable of catching forward passes.
