Have Weiner Roast

A weiner roast for members of

ity committee.
The meeting had been planned
originally for Sept. 25 but chang
ed to the earlier date, due to

for the dance to be held follow
ing the Weiner roast.

dition to his other problems,
Coach Saunders will be without

fenced players from last season
including two lettermen due to
injuries and ineligibility.

ends in Karl Stritz and Don
Shocking, as we'll as halfback
Earl Hupp and linemen Dale
Gardner and Vernon Hupp.
Biggest blow to the backfield
was loss of Junior Howell, soph-
omore scat-back, through ineligi-
bility. Howell not only scored 48
of CaldwelIs 85 points last year,
but caught II of Christopher's
passes for 203 yards and three
touchdoWns. He was CaldWell's
chief ground-gainer and 18th in
scoring in the MVL.
Others who will not be likely
to see action this fall due to one
reason or another are Dick Safi-
gan and Bill Lori, both injured
last year, Larry Estadt and Bill
Craft.
On the brighter side of the
ledger are the returning letter
men headed by quarterback Al
Christopher, the work-horse of
last years squad. AL completed
78 out of 141 passes last season
for one of the best averages in
the league in addition to making
good on seven out of 10 extra
points.
Other lettermen are seniors
Tim Tarleton, Harley Fowler
and Bob Evilsizer; juniors Ron
aid Reed, Tom Ferguson, Bob
Legraen and Darl Gardner; and
sophomore Jim King.
Rounding out the squad are
senior Ronald Schell, a transfer
student from Fulda; juniors Bill
Gillespie, Roland Ralph, Stanley
Clark and Junior Cunningham;
Sophomores Ray Watson, Jim
Finley, Jerry Heddleson, Leon
ard Danford and Clair Hayes;
and freshmen Fritz Watson and
Joe Frederickson.
Among those expected out
with the opening of school are
Darwin Garvin, Larry Brown,
Frank McAuley, and Allen Wal
ton, a transfer student from
Cleveland.
Practice is being held each
day between nine and eleven in
the morning and two to -four in
the afternoon. This schedule will
probably be continued until
opening of school when they will
taper off to evening practice
only.
Light scrimmage plays were
run through last week with Tim
Tarleton and Ray Watson at ends,
Bob Legraen and Fritz Watson
at tackles, Darl Gardner and
Tom Ferguson at guards, Bob
Evilsizer at center, Al Christoph-
er at quarterback, Harley Fow-
Ter and Joe Frederickson at half
backs, and Jim Finley at full
back.

ROSCOE "TUFFY" TILTON, son

ROSCOE 'TUFFY" TILTON, son
of MIR. and Mrs. Alden
Jimmy" Tilton of Caldwell, is
one of several ex-GTs enrolled at
Marietta college under the gov
ernment training program and it
is quite likely that he will see
action on Marietta's football team
this fall. The Pioneers have a
new coach this year in John
"Red" Smith, who formerly
coached at Roseville in the Mus
kingum Valley league, and he
has some pretty good first-hand
knowledge of "Tuffy's" ability.
TILTON helped defeat several of
Coach Smiths teams while pill
ing up an enviable record at
Caldwell High. In fact, he has
gone down in the books as one of
the Redskins few outstanding
football stars, comparable only
to Lobby" Mazgay in the past
two decades. These two boys
were the never-give-up type
"ginme the ball and get out of
the way" Mazgay holds the
season scoring record for Cald-
well with 81 points, while Tilton
tailed 83 in his senior year.
AMONG His RECORDS, Tilton
is Caldwell's leading overall
scorer with 202 points in four
years, trailed by Mazgay next
with 141. He scored IL as a fresh
man, 27 as a sophomore. 80 as a
junior, and 83 as a senior. He led
Caldwell in scoring two years,
led the league as a junior, was
voted the leagues outstanding
player as a junior, made all
league two years and honorable
mention once. In addition, he was
named alternate halfback for the
North-South high school game in
his senior year. TSlton's 1878
yards rushing is also a record for
Caldwell for one year.
BILL CHRISTOPHER of Cald-
well, is also expected to re-
sumo his studies at Marietta this
fall, where he was a member of
the crew last year. Myron Cutler,
an outstanding basketball player
at Summerfield for several sea-
sons, is likewise reported to have
enrolled there.

Caldwell Schools
Are Affiliated

The Caldwell high school is
again affiliated with the Ohio
Athletic Injury Mutual associa-
ton, according to Principal Gil
bert w. Weekley, who pointed
out this is for the protection of
football and basketball players.
The purpose of this association
is to assist member schools hav-
ing interscholastic athletic pro-
grams to meet at least part of
the costs of scheduled injuries
incurred by registered students.
The Ohio athletic injury
mutual association for the 1852
So school year covers only boys
in senior high schools and four
year high schools. The schools
must also be a member of the
Ohio high school athletic associa-
ton and participate in interschol-
astic sports.
Membership of any high school
in the Ohio athletic injury
mutual association is voluntary
and the board of directors may
refuse any school membership.
The local athletic board, on
Oct, 20, 1851, adopted the follow
ing resolution:
"Be it resolved that the high
school principal be instructed to
advise parents of injured foot
ball players that we carry athle-
tic insurance beyond which the
school will not be responsible.
The board may take under ad-
visement the helping with ex-
penses beyond this amount in
hardship cases in a very limited
amount"

Land Turtle Still
Put On Friday Farm

August Friday of Summerfield
happened upon a land turtle on
his farm in Marion township last
week and it was the same turtle
he had encountered in 1909 and
again in 1924. At those times, he
hand carved his initials on the
shell and also the date.
On August 20, he happened to
meet Mr.. Turtle again, who is
still roaming over his farm. He
placed the third date on the shell
again on the last encounter.
The turtle, by this time, must
be at least 43 years old.
