o e n a lite S for unnecessary
roughness and both centers
being elected from the game.
The defeat dropped Caldwell
from first place in the league
standing to a fourth place tie
with New Concord. New Lex
and Roseville, with no defeats
but a tie game, move into sec
ond and third spots.
AS for the game itself, the Red
skins threatened in the early
stages after Craft punted out of
bounds on the New Lex l3. A
few plays later Caldwell ad-
vanced to the Panther % where
it looked like a first down on
third attempt, but the boys
failed to measure, losing a yard
and the ball on the next play. In
the closing minutes of the quar-
ter, New Lex marched 70 yards
to score the first points of the
game. With first and ten on the
Caldwell At, Bill Wollenberg
started around right end, cut
back over his own right tackle,
and raced Al yards to pay dirt.
His plunge for point was good
to give the Panthers a TO lead
at the quarter.
The Redskins buckled down
and came right back with a g.
yard drive to tie up the game as
soon as they got the ball. The
kickoff was taken on the Is and
returned to the 80 to start the
series of plays. Christopher and
Riski advanced the ball to the
81, from where Craft passed to
Shaw for % yards to New Lexis
35. Christopher added another
yard, then Potts hit craft with
an aerial good for 81 yards to
the l3. Christopher and Riski
alternated at Juggling the pig
skin and despite five-yard off
side penalty, Caldwell reached
the goal line with Riski going
the final II yards to score
standing up. Christopher S
plunge for point was good for
a tie ball game TT.
4 Just before halftime, Craft re-
covered a tumble on the Pan
ther 48, but Caldwell begged
down on the 18 and another
scoring threat failed.
In the third quarter, New Leg
had their hands on the ball only
three times but each time they
smashed to a touchdown, turn
ing an otherwise close game in
to a near rout. All three tallie!
came on the same play, starting
out as a right end sweep ther
cutting back through the lef
side of CaldWell'S line and into
the clear.
Bill Wollenberg reeled off 5:
yards for the first score of the
third quarter and added the
| point on a plunge for Ia
| count. Shiplett broke loose fol
| 35 yards on the next touchdown
| jaunt, likewise adding the poin
to make it 21-7. New Lexis fina
| score of the quarter climaxed ;
| 64-yard drive with Bill Wollen
berg going the final 10 yard
for the touchdown. AIDE WOllen
| berg made good on the try TO
point to run the score to 28-7.
| CaldWell'S lone threat in th'
| third quarter was a IS yart
| march from their own Is to tn
| Panther 10 where an intercep
| ted pass prevented touchdown
II In the final period, the Red
| skins intercepted a pass on thei
| own "a to launch their las
| touchdown drive. A 48-yard pas
| from Potts to Shaw carried t
| the New Lex Is. A 15-yard pen
| atty for unnecessary roughnes
| against the Panthers moved tn
ball to the 10, then a secon
| penalty for the same offens
! placed the ball on the one-yar
| stripe. From this point, Pott
| passed to Craft for the touch
| down making it 28-13. The pas
| for point was no good on tW
attempts, after the Panther
roughed up the passer on tn
first try.
New Lex came back with
71-yard sustained drive to ad
another touchdown as AIDE Wo
lenberg bucked over from tt
two-yard line for the score b,
the try for point failed. Fin
score was 34-l3.
