Redskins Romp Over Marietta
Reserves $40 In Grid Opener

scoring IN every quarter, ana
practically every time they got
their hands on the ball, the Cald-
well Redskins completely out
classed the Marietta Reserves in
lop-sided $40 victory last Friday
afternoon. 1t was really an auspi
cious debut for Coach Ramsey'S
first Caldwell football team, with
every player on the bench seeing
action.
Although it's a little early for
drawing conclusions, most of the
fans present are predicting vic
torious season. Friday nights game
at Crooksville will clarity the pic
ture somewhat, as the tough Cera-
mics will give the Redskins a real
test. Caldwell so completely mon
opolized the ball in last weeks
game, that the Redskins defense
didn't get a chance to try out.
Every player, down to the small
est subs, went into the game with
definite aim-to do the job he
had been coached for and do it
well.
The Redskins started the touch
down parade in the opening min
utes of the game when Tuffy Til
ton blocked a punt, Scooped it up,
and raced over from the 12-yard
line. Ferguson's try for point was
blocked, and Caldwell led 60.
Late in the first quarter, the
Redskins started a drive from their
own Al with Potts, Slovak and Til
ton ripping off gain after gain be-
hind the brilliant work of the
Caldwell line. Tilton finally going
over to score again from the II.
Ferguson's try for point failed for
the second time and Caldwell led
1910 at the quarter.
Just before the half ended, the
Redskins registered their third
tally. Riski took a Marietta punt
on the visitors "a and advanced
it to the 81. A series of line plays
brought the ball to the tWo-yard
line, where Tilton scored again
making it 1870 Tuffy's attempted
drop-kick for the point was no
good but Marietta was offSides and
the point was counted giving the
Redskins 1910 advantage at the
half.
Caldwell opened with a passing
attack at the start of the second
half, Tilton to Slovak and Tilton
to Reed, to place the ball within
striking distance of the goal again.
This time it was Slovak on a re-
verse that went for "a yards and
six more points making the score
$50. Tilton's try for the point was
no good.
A series of passes from Tilton to
Reed and Riski set up the next
tally as Tilton banged over the
right side of the line from the two
to boost the total number of points
to $40. Ferguson's kick for the eX-
ira point was blocked.
Potts and Seffens carried the
ball in the fourth period, moving
down to Marietta's eight-yard
stripe. At this point, Riski came
around from right half to circle
left end for six more points MAX
ing it $40. Potts attempted to
pass to Riski for the extra point
but it was no good and the scor-
ing was over.
This Friday night, the Redskins

CALDWELL lost the ball without
scoring only three times in the en-
tire game. Once they drove to the
one-yard line where they failed to
put it over, and again in the final
quarter Potts was forced to punt
after three line plays had gained
nine yards. The other time they lost
the ball on an intercepted pass in
the last period.

just at the close of the first half
when a pass took them to Caldwell's
As.
THE REDSKINS inaugurated both
goals during the game, Tilton scor-
ing over one and Slovak over the
other, for the first points scored on
the new field.

| ICROOKSVILLE entertainS Caldwell
on Friday night at 800 o'clock in the
league opener for both teams. The
Ceramics have run rough shod over
the other league teams for the past
two years, so victory for Coach
RamSey's boys would be sweet re-
venge for a multitude of fans.
LEAGUE TEAMS all turned in vic
tories in opening games last week
with Crooksville topping Dresden,
20-6, New Lex edging Chauncey
Dover 1875, GIouster trimming Rut-
land 25-19, and McConnelsville win
ming over GAINESVILLE Reserves 1876.
THAT EXTRA POINT PLAY still
has us stumped. Marietta was off
sides on the try for point and ac-
cording to the officials, this gave
Caldwell the choice of the point or
the penalty, provided the defensive
team agrees. At any rate the kicker,
which in this case was Tilton, gets
credit for the point. Sounds funny,
but that's what the man said.
COACH RAMSEY was startled at
the close of the game when Dave
Merry and Don Ferguson grabbed
him up on their shoulders and the
entire team carried him to the
dressing rooms. The boys were GER
tainly jubilant over their opening
victory.
"DINK" POTTS, president of the
Booster Club, was busy during the
game taking motion pictures from
the "press perch" on the opposite
side of the field When these pic
lures are developed, they should
serve to correct some of the faults
which the eye doesn't observe dur
ing the game.
THE BAND turned in a fine per-
formance during the half before re-
turning to their position on the west
side of the field. Incidentally, they
will accompany the team to Crooks
vile Friday night.
DAVE STELLFOX was officially
recorded as the first paying Gus
toner on the new field, getting in
early and staying late.
BERNARD RISKI, freshman from
Florence, was unintantionally
omitted from the program through
d slight oversight. This, however,
didn't prevent him from giving a
good account of himself. The pro-
grams went over big with the Gus
toners despite the fact that Mari
etta's numbers didn't correspond
with the program.
JACK "WHITEY" FREDERICKSON
was named captain for the game,
but it was not learned whether the
appointment will be made each
week or not. Delbert Brown was
elected captain last year, but he has
since transferred to Macarthur.
THE CROWD at the game last week
was estimated roughly at around
450 or 500 persons, but only 332 of

The nickel solf-drink is one insti-
tuition that seems due for an early
eclipse - at least in the case of
two popular brands sold locally.
Officials of the Pepsi-Cola and
Royal Crown bottling companies
said yesterday that they are urg-
ing retail distributors of their
products to up their prices to six
cents a bottle in the wake of re-
cently-instituted increases in the
wholesale price.
Six other soft-drink companies,
polled here yesterday, said that
they have no present intention OF
lifting their prices however.
j. w. Jackson, head of the Pepsi
Cola plant here, attributed the in
crease in his company's wholesale
prices to the rising cost Of sugar
and materials.
But, even at six cents a bottle,
he asserted, "the consumer will
still continue to receive IL ounces

yesterday.
In announcing the topic, Willetts

Rent increases between 10 and
20 per cent are required to meet
rising maintenance and service
