manner as they scored their touch
down - short jabS into the middle
of the Caldwell line. They used this
one type of play practically all eve
ming with the quarterback handing
the ball to the charging backs for an
average gain of three yards per
try. For the Redskins, their passing
attack was the shining light of the
dreary evening, completing seven
out of ten aerialS for a gain of ITO
yards.
The Ramblers returned the open
ing kickoff for 81 yards to the Cald-
well 49 and then using IL running
plays for short gains advanced to
the Redskin II where Ferguson in
tercepted a pass on the 10-yard
line and returned it to the Caldwell
80. Potts on spinner into the line
went seven yards, but on the next
play, Slovak on a double reverse
was hit behind the line of scrim-
mage with the ball bouncing out of
his hands to be recovered by Rose
vile on the Caldwell &c. 1t took
nine long plays for the Ramblers to
hit pay dirt, but the driving ability
of their backs was not to be denied
and Sewers bucked over from the
one-yard line to give the visitors
the lead. Tyson followed right
through practically the same hole
for the point which was to mean so
much later in the game and Rose
vile enjoyed lead of 10 at the
quarter.
The second quarter might as well
be discarded as waste of time
since neither team advanced beyond
their opponents 40-yard line, but
engaged in punting duel to leave
the Ramblers still out in front TO
at the half.
Roseville got a second break at
the start of the third quarter when
Tilton fumbled Ferguson's high pass
from center and the Ramblers re-
covered on the Caldwell 27. Tilton
stopped this threat four plays later
by intercepting pass on the 20 and
returning it to the %. At this point
Caldwell began mixing a brilliant
passing offensive with their running
plays to move beyond RoseVllle S
38-yard line for the first time in the
game. Tilton shot two short passes
to Reed for a total of twenty yards
to the Roseville AZ, then following
a couple of line plays, Slovak snag-
ged passes from TiltOn and Settens
good for 13 more yards to move to
the Rambler's 20. Here the drive
begged down and Caldwell lost the
ball on downs on the II.
Roseville punted out but Tilton
returned it to the 38 to start the
march for CaldWell's touchdown as
the third quarter ended with the
Ramblers still holding TO advan-
tage.
Tuffy started the ball rolling by
driving for 13 yards to the Is but
on the next play Slovak lost nine
yards on the reverse play, which
incidentally failed to click properly
sll evening due to the muddy con-
dition of the field. Seffens dropped
back to pass and was nailed for an
other seven yards loss, making II
third down on the Al and 26 to &c
for a first down. Tilton lodged d
half dozen tacklerS who seemed tC
swarm right through the line, and
flipped a 27-yard pass to Reed, who
was fighting off the remainder OF
Roseville team, to make it first
down on the l4-yard line. 1t was a
beautiful catch by Reed, the pass
travelling approximately 40 yards In
the air, and brought the fans
screaming to their feet.
On the next play Tilton, driving
hard around right end, banged over
for Caldwell's touchdown but his
attempted off tackle plunge for the
point was stopped inches short of
the goal line and the Redskins
trailed TO.
The Ramblers started another
slow, deliberate drive down the
field only to lose the ball on downs
On the Caldwell 49, The Redskins
took to the air again with Reed du-
plicating his previous catch by TAX
ing another aerial on the 43 good
for 80 yards from scrimmage and it
seemed like the Redskins might
score again. However, few plays
later, a pass intended for Caste
was intercepted and CaldWelPs
threat was stopped.
New Lexington took undisputed
lead in the league this week by
downing Philo $50, while McCon-
nelsville trimmed New Concord
1910 and Crooksville won over
