Vashon School Notes

Port Orchard held Vashon to a
six to six score last Friday in one
Of the most interesting games ever
placd on the local field. Two
teams, which have long expected
and waited FOR this game, played
each other to stand still. Wash
ON was pressing Port Orchard
close for a second touchdown
when the final whistle blew.
In the first quarter Port Or
chard seemed to have a very de-
cided advantage, keeping the ball
in Vashon's territory practically
the entire time. In the Port Or
chard squad Vashon's lineup en-.
countered the huddle signal sys-
ten. This, combined with the ex-
cellent work Of the Port Orchard
backs, kept Vashon on the defen-
Sive most of the first quarter.
During this period the "Tigers"
very narrowly escaped being scor.
ed upon several times Oh their own
one yard line, being put out Of
danger by several beautiful forty
yard punts by Chantler, left half.
Marsh, Vashon center, twice re-
covered fumbled balls on Vashon S
one yard line.
In the second quarter Port Or
chard continued its drive toward
Vashon's goal, finally romping
over the goal on an off tackle
play and making the score six to
nothing. The Port Orchard full
back failed to convert on his place
kick.
This seemed to be the signal for
Vashon to assume the offensive at
titude. By a series Of line plung-
es and end runs Vashon took the
ball far into Port Orchards terri
tory. The visitors finally got the
ball and kicked out Of danger
only to have the "Tigers" return
the ball several yards, and resume
their march to the Port Orchard
goal. The Port Orchard team,
now on the defensive, were fight
ing against a machine, eleven
Vashon men working as one, all
understanding their duties. Wash.
on was finally halted by the wills.
tie.
On the continuing of play at the
beginning Of the second half,
Vashon, received the ball and was
nailed in her own territory by the
determined Port Orchard team.
On the first play, however, the
Tigers" ripped off eleven yards
on an off tackle play for first and
ten. All the backs smashed into
the Port Orchard line for gain
after gain. The visitors finally
secured the ball and punted.
Vashon tried fake, making four
teen yards and on repeated end
runs brought the ball to Port Or
chard's thirty yard line. Here,
by determined line and plung-
ing attack in five plays Vashon
passed the chalk line with the
tieing score. Bridgmah carried
the ball across. Vashon failed to
convert.
The game was one Of the hard
est fought games the Vashon
squad can ever expect to enter,
and they delivered under fire.
The officials were: Smith, re.
fierce, Haley, head linesman, and
Peterson, umpire.
