The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1944-10-24

Using teamwork as their
formula for success, the Battling
Bathers of Mount Clemens High
Friday downed the East Detroit
Shamrocks on the Bathers' field,
Fl to 6.
Without the services of two
of their reliable performers,
right tackle Al Doescher and
backfield ace Jimmy Charben-
eau, the Bathers' forward line
held together well and each
member of the backfield per
formed in good style.
The first threat to score was
made by East Detroit in the
opening minutes of the first
quarter. The Shamrocks re-
ceived the ball on their own 81
yard-line, and Smith ran around
his own right end to the Bathers'
35-yard-stripe. The next play
around left end, carried the
green and white to Mount Glenn
ems 30-yard marker and later
a pass from Smith to right end,
Allen, brought the ShamrockS
to the Bathers' 22-yard-line.
Here lady luck smiled at the
home town team, and on the
next play, Shamrock tumble
was recovered by Mount Glenn
ems right end, Clarence Schroed-
er.
The scarlet and gray was I'M
able to take advantage of its
opportunity, however, and a
five yard penalty and two Mount
Clemens fumbles forced the
Bathers to kick. The quarter
ended with no progress.
First pay-dirt was struck by
the Bathers in the second quart
er from the East Detroit 10
yard-line on run by right half
back Bill Nichols. Fullback
John Torrey converted for the
extra point to put Mount Glenn
ems ahead 7 to 0. The Bathers
were put into scoring position
as a result of drive by Torrey,
Vickers and Nichols.
About midway in the third
quarter the scarlet and gray
again came home to roost on
the East Detroit goal, as a result
of a drive from the East Detroit
40-yard line. Torrey gained a
first down, and Nichols carried
the mail to the East Detroit 20
yard marker. There, however,
the Bathers got in deep water,
and a 20-yard penalty for clip
ping put them back to the green
and whites 40-yard line. From
that point the Bathers proceeded
to make two successive first
downs, and Nichols scored.
SET BACK Is
In the opening minutes Of the
fourth quarter, the Bathers
made a first but were set back
to their own 35-yard line as a
result of a l5-yard penalty for
holding.
A five-yard penalty against
the Shamrocks took the Bathers
down TO the &c, from where
Torrey took the ball on two
runs down to the opponents IA
yard line for a first down and
Nichols went around his own
left end TO score, putting the
Bathers way out in front Il to
0.
Mount Clemens hopes for
shut out were lost in the next
few minutes, however, when the
East Detroit team realized that
they had passing attack,
especially against weak Bath
er pass defense, and started an
aerial attack which the, scarlet
and gray could not intercept,
and which ended in a score,
closing the game 21-6.
