The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1945-11-22

| scoring almost at VIII, while hold
ing a completely outclassed Purple
Panther eleven from Charles Town
helplessly at bay, the Maroon and
Gray-clad Hubs of Hagerstown High
walked off the field with a $40
victory over the West Viirginians in
their Victory Bond" football game,
played last Saturday on the Poto-
mac avenue gridiron Their over
head game cut down by first
period injury to Deany McNamee,
who sings 'em far and wide, the
locals flashed running attack that
had their opponents completely
baffled from start to finish. The
Hubs, with Peck Martin, Lionel Sell
man, and Tom Parks leading the
way held the upper hand through
out the game and never once were
they in grave danger of being scored
upon.
The Hubs jumped into 60 lead
at the very outset, McNamee going
over on line buck from the one,
before the game was five minutes
old. The Hub signal caller had set
up the score when he tipped a 20
yard pass to Parks that placed the
ball on the 10-yard stripe His CON
version, however, was blocked.
Midway in the second period Mel
son Carpenter, Hagerstown wing
back, intercepted Slusher's pass on
the Hub 30-yard marker and carried
it to the 43 before being hit. Then
Martin slipped the oval to Parks
on a reverse around left end and
the slippery captain streaked down
the sidelines to the Charles Town
seven where Martin tucked it under
his arm and rammed through center
for the remaining seven yards and
the Hubs second tally. Sellman, at
tempting to run the ball over for the
point, was stopped cold at the line
u SCII1lmaBe.
The locals third touchdown was
registered in much the same manner
as the preceding one, via the pass
interception route. This time il was
Mark Chambers who shared a Pan
Their pass on the West Virginians'
45-yard stripe and set the stage for
Sellman to run wild on three beauti-
full end sweeps, the last of which
carried him to pay dirt from the
2 and gave the Hubs an impressive
18-point lead. Martin made it one
more when he carried the extra
point through center standing up.
That was all the scoring for the
first half, but the final half hadn't
very far before the Hubs
had driven 20 yeards on two plays
to rack up their fourth six-pointer
OF the afternoon. Taking possession
of the pigsl1in on their own 30-yard
line, the Potomac Streeters cut Sell
man loose on a wide sweep around
the right flank, that advanced the
ball to the Panther A. All they had
to do then was knock enough Pan
theirs out of the way for Parks to
dash across the goal line almost I'M !
touched with touchdown No. under
his arm Martin was stopped at the
line when he attempted to rush the
point over. Hagerstown 25; CT, .. |
Buck Watson brought the crowd of
1000 to their feet just few minutes
latter, when he leaped high into the
air and speared Slusher's toss that
was intended for Strider and gallop-
ed. the 40 yards between the point
of interrogation and the Charles
Town goal, without hand being
laid upon him. The Panthers' line
was in fast on Myers attempted
place-kick, blocking it and the score
was $40
Fleet-footed Sellman, getting his
first big chance to show the stuff |
he's been made of all year, sliced off |
