Heavy Line Plunges Bring
Victory To Local Eleven
In Opener
TOUCHDOWN SCORED IN
EACH PERIOD OF GAME
Clayton Loses Chance to Score
After Carrying Ball Half
way Down the Field To Goal
Line

Uncorking a smashing line attack
that gained first down after first
down, a new Pleasantville High
School football team battered its
way to a 26-O victory over Clayton
High on the Floral avenue field
Saturday afternoon. A colorful
crowd of students and fans watched
the contest.
The outcome of the game showed
that Coach Hedelt. working with
only Is per cent or SO of veteran
material, has whipped together a
team that should do even greater
things than last years aggregation.
For the first game of the season,
the boys did remarkably well, dis
playing form that usually crops out
only after two or three games have
been played.
The Clayton boys were outweigh
ed and outplayed, but not out gam
ed. They had the stuff that makes
football teams, and their big mis-
take of the game was to attempt
gains through Pleasantville stone
wall line, instead of using open
warfare.
The local. team scored touch
down in each period. Tripician car
.ried the first one over in the mid
die of the first period, after Clay
ton had lost the ball on downs and
the Pleasantyille backfield had gone
down the field in a series of devas-
Eating line plunges. The second
period was a repetition of the first,
the local boys carrying the bali to
the Clayton goal line, where the
lighter team held with miraculous
spirit and after gaining the ball
squeezed out with a touchback
against them. A Pleasantville
touchdown followed soon after on a
downfield march, Griscom carry
ing the ball over.
In the third period, little Woody
Hudson, who started at end and
was later put in the backfield to
replace Grigcom. threw a forward
pass to Kinsey that resulted in an
other six-pointer. Hudson, who is
a freshman, showed a remarkable
football head. and plowed through
the line with the ball in way that
made no one sorry he had replaced
the bull-like Griscom. Tripician
scored the last touchdown.
In the fourth period Clayton
showed flash of what it might
have done had their quarterback
used the right sort of attack. A
beautiful forward pass and two
tricky hidden ball plays brought
the ball from the center of the
field to within ten yards of the goal
line within a few minutes. 1t was
their big chance, but they failed to
grasp it. With the ball SO near its
