and former Redskin star, has

GERALD RAMSEY, former
Caldwell coach, was one Of the
principals involved in a gridiron
dispute settled by the Ohio High
School Athletic association last
week. Wellston, coach by Ram
sey, was defeated by Jackson
1912 this fall in a game that
had no bearing on the league
standing since both teams fin
ished down in the middle. But
Wellston protested the game on
the grounds that what eventually
proved to be the game-Winning
extra point was merely a "dona-
ton" by the officials according
to Ramsey. The Jackson back
instead of kicking the point as
planned, caught the ball and ran
it over for the extra point While
the play was underway, the Of
ficial for some reason blew his
whistle. The rules say the ball |
is dead once the officials whistle |
has blown, and this was the basis |
of the argument. The board, |
however, disregarded the protest |
on the grounds that the officials |
decisions are final Naturally, a !
reversal of the decision would |
pave the way for numerous pro- |
tests over similar boners by |
officials.
