once, and the locals had bowed to
the Mt. Jackson basketeers thus
making the play-off one of vital i'm
portance.
Mt. Jackson started off with a
whirl and it looked as if the cup
would go to Mt. Jackson. The first
half ended with Woodstock on the
short end of the 11-2 score then the
Woodstock team showed its stuff.
When the second half opened, the
guards stuck to their men like fleas
to a dogs back, and allowed Mt.
Jackson to garner one point, while
the local forwards and center were
running wild, looping the ball al
most at will. The locals scored 13
points before Mt. Jackson managed
to slip one through, and to get even
the locals massed up six more points
before the final whistle

vile Kibler, Jack Grabill, Duffy

Massanutten Wins
Massanutten closed one of the
most successful seasons in years by
defeating the fast Dewitt Prep School
of Washington by the tune of Go.
The game was thriller from the
time the referees whistle blew until
the final blast.
The two teams came upon the
field about 2:2O. They were evenly
matched as TO weight, and the game
was on at $50. The first quarter
was a punting duel with neither
team gaining an advantage with the
punting exceptionally good for Prep
school circles. Dewitt had the edge
on the local Keydets the second
quarter, and took advantage of a
bad punt of Laughlin's, who punted
out of bounds on his own thirty
yard line. Dewitt then started on a
march towards Massanuttens goal,
and by real football carried it to
the Keydets three yard line, when
the whistle blew ending the first
half.
Second Half
The second half opened with Mas
sanutten kicking off. The third
quarter was another punting duel
with Massanutten gaining the adj
vantage, especially when Nicols, the
0
Massanutten quarterback, crossed
up the Dewitt team by punting on the
I first down.
/ The fourth quarter opened with
the ball in Devitt's possession, but
I it was soon taken by Massanutten,
who started on toward a touchdown.
On straight football Massanutten
carried it to Devitt's thirty yard line
but it appeared as if Massanutten
would not score. With the fourth
down and eight yards to go, the
Massanutten field general used
real piece of football strategy, when
he called Benchoff back for kick
from placement, but instead of kick
ing, they used the Illinois fake pass,
Nicols passing thirty yards to Capt.
Cramer, who ran over for the lone
touchdown of the game, and giving
NJ. NJ. A. a we'll deserved victory.
Benchoff then tried for the extra
point by a kick from placement and
hit the goal posts, missing the extra
point by only few inches.
Massanutten then kicked off to
Dewitt, and O'Keefe, their star half,
returned the ball some distance be-
fore being downed. Dewitt then re
sorted to long forward passes, and
} Ted Bauserman, the local bull-back,
, intercepted one and ran about fifty
yards before being oyerhauled. On
the next play the whistle blew, thus
ending one of the most interesting
) and well-played games ever seen on
Seibert Field
Prep Champions
This gives Massanutten the Prep
Championship of the Valley. if not
of the State, and although they can
not claim the State Championship
c they should at least be given the
e chance for game against Wood
a berry, who are the champions of the
r other part of the State. Dewitt has
!. only been defeated once before this
. season, being turned back by the
e Maryland IT, Freshmen 60
