TEN YEARS AGO - The Red
skins won their 18th game of the
season by drubbing Crooksville
1922 as Jack Wilson Tailed II
points while Lobby Mazgay and
Kenny Fogle contributed 10
each Caldwell followed up
with 50-29 win over Pleasant
City in which Ike Moore scored
Is and Eibel IA for the Tigers
The Redskins made it three
in row by handing Byesville a
1923 setback with Ike Moore
and John Christopher scoring II
points each and Kenny Fogle 10
Bill Hutcheson looped in
Is as Dexter City edged Sum-
merfield 36-33 but Spence hit 18
for the losers Harrietts-
vile nipped Forest Grove 40-37
with Lee netting Is for the Elks
while Wiley and Nichols had 13
and q for the losers In
other games involving county
teams, Reinersville trounced
Dexter 1916 and Batesville
squeezed out 1920 win over
Calais Five Carpenters
made up the starting team for
Calais.
THIS WEEKEND the Redskins
play two league games on the
road, invading New Lexington
on Friday night and renewing an
old rivalry with McConnelsville
on Saturday. The Panthers had
little trouble subduing the Red
skins 65-44 in a previous game
as Bob Penrod, one of the
leagues top scorers netted Is
points and Don White II. New
Lex has lost five league games
but only Dresden was able to
make it decisive 77-52. Other
losses were to Philo 45-44 and
43-41, Roseville 1882, and Glous-
ter 58-52. On the Panther floor
it looks like rough shedding. Nc
Connelsville, on the other hand,
has won only one game this sea-
son while dropping IL, their lone
triumph being a 48-39 decision
over Crooksville. But they held
Roseville to 1887 last week and
pushed Caldwell in their first
game before losing 1881. The
Big Reds won't give up without
a fight, but if they play ball the
Redskins should be able to bag
this one.
WITH CALDWELL away from
home this week, local fans can
see two good games this Thurs
day evening in the Caldwell
gym when Stellfox EXITS
tackle Harriettsville Vets and
Kirch's Electrics take on Byes-
vile. The Harriettsville team is
sponsored by Singer Sewing
Machine of Marietta while ByeS-
vile represents Motorists Mutual
Insurance Co. On Monday night,
Jan. 30, both Kirch's and the Ex-
His will entertain White Chew
rolet of New Concord in a double
header. The New Concord team
is headed by Phil Allen and 9TH
er former Muskie stars. On
Thursday, Feb. 8, Kirch'S and
Stellfox EXITS will play each
other in the top game of their
season.
LAST FRIDAY, the Redskins
bagged their first win in month
by defeating Roseville 43-39,
having beaten McConnelSville
last on December 20. The Big
Reds of M & M won their first
game of the season by knocking
off Crooksville 48-39 for cellar
position, while Philo saw their
victory streak snapped at IL as
New Concord hand the Electrics
their first loss 47-41. Glouster
moved back into second by edg-
ing Dresden 61-57 on the Jay
Hawk floor.
JOIN WATSON, former Sar-
ahsville star who has been per-
forming with Kirch's Electrics
the past few seasons, is now in
the veterans hospital at Aspin-
wall, Pa, for observation and
treatment. He would appreciate
hearing from team mates or
friends who may drop a card to
John r. Watson, Veterans Hos
pital, Aspinwall, Pa.
