The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1951-10-11

Friday night at the stadium, when
they soundly trounced the Allegany
High School Eleven by a score Of
10 to 0.
From the beginning it was evident
that the Hubs backs were much too
fast for the Allegany line, as time
and again they easily outran their
opposition.
They also came up with a really
effective pass defense, many times
dropping the passer far behind the
line. It would be unfair to pick out
any one player, as the whole team
played heads up football, but I
couldn't help notice the power of
CLANCY; the speed of Burke and
Spence, and the tremendous drive Of
Ghormerly.
Hagerstown won the toss and
elected to receive, with Burke tax
ing Widows kickoff and returning
it to the 38. A five-yard penalty
against Allegany moved the ball to
the 43 and then, after Smith had
picked up two more yards, CLANCY
bucked over for a first down on the
48.
Burke then passed to Schoen, who
was in the clear on Allegany's 90
yard line, but dropped the ball
Burke then went through center him
self for a first down on Alleganys
49, CLANCY picked up three yards
and then after Burke had been stop
ped once, he took the ball again and
went over for the first touchdown of
the game. Gossard's kick was wide
and the score was so.
Allegany almost scored on their
first offensive play, when Hook took
the kickoff on his own Is yard line
and then lateraled to widows, who
broke through and went all the way
to Hagerstown's 20 before he was
hauled down. But the Hubs line
stiffened and Hagerstown took over
on their own 18-yard line when a
fourth down pass was knocked
down. Successive runs by Clancy
Spence and Burke gave Hagerstown
a first down on their 40 yard line and
then, after Spence had picked up
four yards, Burke carried the ball to
Allegany's 40 for another first down.
A 15-yard penalty against the Hubs
made it second and 25 on their own
45 and after trying a pass play that
was no good, Burke kicked out of
bounds on Allegany's %.
Two line bucks gave the Cumber-
land boys first down on their 80,
and a fve-yard advance, plus an
offside penalty, made it first down
on the 48. A rufing penalty against
Cumberland set them back to their
80 and they then elected to kick,
with Burke taking the ball and rae
ing back to Allegany's As, and on
the first play from the scrimmage
. Spence got a first down on the 35 as
the quarter ended.
After changing sides, Burke in two
tries, moved down to Allegany's 20
and after CLANCY had bucked the
line for three-yard gain, Spence
went over for the second I'D to
make the score 1910 Hagerstown.
/ Gossard's attempted conversion was
blocked
/ After Allegany was stopped cold,
gaining only one yard in four tries,
The Hubs took over on Allegany's
As. Spence picked up four yards and
then Burke crashed through for a
first down on Allegany's 38. But the
defense stiffened at that point and
the Hubs were forced to kick, with
Allegany taking over on their own
Is. Two first downs advanced the
ball to their 46, but Ghormley then
intercepted pass and was downed
on Allegany's As. On second down
Burke attempted a pass, but it was
intercepted as the half ended.
Allegany took the kickoff as the
third quarter got underway, but
were stopped cold by the fast charg-
! ing Hagerstown line and were fore
ed to kick. Burke returned the kick
to Hagerstown's 45-yard line, but
Allegany then held. Burke dropped
back to kick, but the pass from cen
ter was bad and the ball rolled back
to Hagerstown's 20. Burke raced
back, picked it up, and then made a
magnificent run of Is yards to his
! own As, where Cumberland took
!. over.
Putting on their best offensive
6 drive of the game, Allegany picked
up two first downs, carrying the bal
