Local Band To Compete With
72-piece Fostoria Band
In Musical Show

Having smashed Gibsonburg's
Golden Bears, 80 to 6, in the first
game of their belated season last
Friday night, Coach Norm Will
bonds Redskins make their first
home appearance this Friday night
when the Fostoria Redmen come
to True-Lay field.
The visitors will be out after
their third victory, having lost to
Fremont Ross, 10 to 0, last week.
They have defeated Shelby 13 to Z,
and Marion Harding, 26 to in
earlier games.
Opening lineup for Fostoria is
expected to be as follows: left end,
Pastorius or Rhude; left tackle,
Reinhart; left guard, Wedge; CEN
ter, Dieder; right guard, McAnan-
ETY.; right tackle, McKendrick,
right tackle; Potter, right end;
fullback, Echelberry; quarterback,
Danner; left half, Jackson; right
half, Mitchell or Cook.
Woodley, Fostoria's regular
quarterback, was injured in the
Ross game last Friday night, and
is not expected to start tonight.
Port Clinton Redskins came
through the opening game in good
shape.
Band Performance
There will be a capacity crowd
in True-Lay field tonight, not only
to see the rejuvenated Redskins but
to witness the spectacular band
show planned by directors Dave
Stanton, Port Clinton, and Dick
Brown, Fostoria.
The visitors will bring their TO
piece band here to vie with Port
Clinton's sterling musical march
ers for the crowds plaudits.
Members of the Downtown
Coaches will be honored tonight,
which has been designated as
Boosters Night.
After two weeks of the polio
ban on football and with one week
of practice, Port Clinton opened it's
194S football season paced by Andy
Migala, who scored twice, and the
clever signal calling of Dave Krupp
by decisively drubbing the Golden
Bears of Gibsonburg 1926 at their
home field.
Redskin fans didn't expect
much from the somewhat green
eleven but after the first quarter
of Friday nights game there
was no doubt in their minds that
P. C. would be a tough team to
beat in '48.
The slaughter began when CO.
captains Krupp and Rosiar lost
the toss and Gibsonburg elected
to receive. Krupp's kick was a
long end over end taken by Rush
er who returned the ball to the 80
yard line and in four plays didn't
go a yards, thanks to the Port
Clinton line which held like ce-
ment.
After Port Clinton took over,
the Redskins scored in short order.
Krupp, Rosiar and Migala smashed
through tackles and ends to mark
up good gains. On the seventh
play, Krupp went over left guard
for the Redskins first tally. His
placement kick split the uprights
and the Redskins led to 0.
Krupp again kicked off and Glib
sonburg brought the ball back to
the 80 and again the Golden Bears
were stopped cold. On the fourth
down Fought punted to Belshaw
of P. c. who caught the ball on his

ROUTE Z BEACH
PARK SOUGHT BY
KING AND ADAMS
Over 1000 Sign Petitions Ask
ing State To Buy All Land
From Lake To River

q, Under the sponsorship of Ameri-
can Legion Post 1T, and with the
support of many other local civic
groups, plan for the formation
Of state-owned bathing beach and
parking area just west Of the city
limits is rapidly gaining public
support.
Archie King, Legion leader, and
State Senator Fred L. Adams are
fathers" of the plan. The young
91en have long investigated the
beach plan, and have been assured
that it could become a reality.
Petitions are now being circulat-
ed throughout the city, and over
1000 citizens have already affixed
their signatures in support of the
most worthwhile plan.
Besides the American Legion, the
Rotary and Kiwanis clubs, various
Women's clubs and the Merchants
Assn have already voiced support.
Eom Gaudern is chairman of the
petition committee.
Part of the area to be improved
would be in the western extremity
of Port Clinton city limits, along
routes 163 and 2, while the other
portion is in eastern Erie township.
Under the King-Adams plan, fill
would be added to build up the area
north of the present highway and
the beach. A shelter house would
tte constructed, and picnic grounds
and parking areas would be COM
pleted.
Thousands of persons now use
this area for bathing each sum-
mer, but parking problems cause
dangerous traffic hazards along
this heavily-traveled highway.
The King-Adams plan calls for
the state of Ohio, Department of
Highways, to acquire all of the
land between the lake shore and
She Portage river, starting one
quarter mile west of the bridge
curve and continuing almost to
Basiley's restaurant.
Text of the petition is as fol-
lows:
"The undersigned, being resi-
dents of Port Clinton, Ohio, and
it's vicinity considering the need
for a place or park for public bath
ing and recreation, operated by
public authority and open to all,
do hereby call to your attention
the fact that an ideal location for
such a project exists at the west
erly edge of Port Clinton, now par
TALLY owned by the State of Ohio,
Department of Highways, extend
ing approximately one eighth mile
east and one eighth mile west from
the west corporation line Of Port
Clinton and from the waters of
Lake Erie south a distance of ap-
toroximately two hundred yards.
This location contains a natural
sand beach and abuts water free
from undue contamination and is
now patronized by many. of the
public. but present use creates a
hazard to traffic and the patrons,
which might be eliminated by a
slight ard practical shift in the
highway, and we do further re-
spectfully. petition you to use your
efforts and ability to. the, utmost to
haze this location made a State
Park for the purpose above men
