The Ypsilanti daily press. (Ypsilanti, Mich.) 1928-1962, 1941-09-20
Tally Made by
Capt. Lawrence

Friday night at Wines Field Ann
Arbor. the curtain was raised on
another season OF football as Ypsi-
lanu High School, playing out OF
their class. met Ann Arbor High.
Although the locals were swamped
by 426 score, they accomplished
something they haven't been able
to do since 1887. that is cross the
Pioneers goal line.
Since they played their II tie
that year, the Braves have been
unable to get anything but goose
eggs for their efforts on the field.
In 1883 the Ypsi lads were on the
short end of a geo score. 1899
found them losers by a $40 count
and last year they were annhilated
$50. Each succeeding year saw
the locals take a more severe
beating but Fridays contest marked
a reduction in the Pioneer margin.
Fittingly enough. Jack Lawrence,
captain OF the Braves. was the one
to go over for the Braves touch
down. Capt. Lawrence's final
plunge was set up by spectacular
play by Quarterback Bob Moffett
who toured prominently in the
two plays the locals required to
bring the ball from their own 80
yard line. to the Pioneers four
Throughout the entire first half
and we'll into the third quarter
the Braves had been unable TO
carry the ball out of their own
territory. the closest being their
own 35 yard marker. However
one hair-raising play in the third
period sent them on their first
jaunt into enemy territory, as l.. d
Harmon shot a forward pass from
his own 35 yard line to Moffett
Just over the middle stripe, and the
fleet Bob then proceeded to lug
the pigskin q yards to the Ann
Arbor 90. Next he tossed a short
pass to Bill Hughes who wa:
downed on the four, from where
Lawrence hit pay dirt.
The aerial route was the only
way that Ypsilanti could make any
appreciable gains throughout the
entire game, as the heavy forward
wall of Ann Arbor completely
smothered the Braves running at
tack. The hefty Ann Arbor lads
| had little difficulty in opening
huge holes in the locals light line,
and consequently the Pioneer
backs ran wild.
From the time the opening whis-
tie blew Ann Arbor needed but
four to hang up their first touch
down as Dick Walterhouse romped
IS yards around his own right end
to score his teams initial six
points. The try for extra point was
missed as were all the rest of the
attempted conversions by Ann
Arbor. Cristo Gaglis, who stood
cut on the Ann Arbor eleven by
scoring three of the seven touch
downs made, followed Walter
houses effort with his initial score,
giving Ann AFbor 20 lead. Gag
lis and Richard Tielk then both
lSlllcu III tue StCOuu quarter u
make the half time score $40
Gaglis then went over the line for
his third time soon after the start
OF the third period, and Walter
house followed with his second
touchdown effort just previous to
the making Of Ypsilanti's lone
score.
From then until three minutes
before the final gun Ypsi man
aged to keep its goal line clear of
Blue and White shirts. but with
the game almost over c. Kolle-
wehr dashed ten yards for Ann
Arbor's final tally. -.
Ypsilanti then, took TO the air
in an attempt TO score IN the time
remaining, and they managed to
cover 55 yards by that method
and were on the Ann Arbor 10
yard line when the final gun
sounded.
