POINTMAKERS for Philo are
right end Dan Watson with
seven touchdowns, fullback Earl
Fletcher with six, right half Don
Newton with six, quarterback
Jerry Brannon with one, sub
back Bill Watson one, and guard
Jim Boyer one. Extra points are
attempted by Brannon from
placement, his record being nine
out of 20 for the year.
PHILO has nine lettermen on the
squad this year including the
following: Bill Nell, Dan Watson,
John Barclay, Jim Boyer, Jerry
Brannon, Paul Hartman, Earl
Fletcher, Gorby Mason, and Don
Newton. All are seniors except
Newton. The remainder of the
huge squad list five more seniors
and seven Juniors. Hatfield in a
preseason statement, bemoaned
the loss of ''my entire line" but
the truth of the matter is he lost
only end Jerry Fitz, guard Dave
Janusz and tackle Gene Dickson.
In the backfield, only Paul Mon
teith is missing, with the result
that actually seven of last years
champs are back at their old posi-
tionS.
LAST YEAR the Electrics down
ed Caldwell 26-6 by intercept
ing two passes and by scoring two
touchdowns on power plays,
Brannon going rs yards for the
first score. Two years ago, how
ever, the Electrics rubbed it in
good as they handed Caldwell
their worst licking in modern
games 46-6, taking advantage of
a three-deep squad backed by
junior high and grade school ex-
perience. Their coaching system,
reaching down into the grades,
is undoubtedly the big factor
which keeps Philo teams at the
top of the heap constantly. How
ever, all boys put their pants on
one leg at a time as both Zanes-
vile and Wisconsin found out
last week. The spirit and deter
mination of this years Caldwell
eleven makes them the first team
in recent seasons to stand a
chance to break Philo's strangle-
hold on the Redskins.
TEN YEARS AGO - The Red
skins copped one of their few
wins over Philo as they shut out
the Electrics 200 on the old Philo
field. After scoreless first
quarter, jun Clark intercepted
an Electrics pass in the second
period and returned it 48 for a
touchdown. Clark also plunged
for the point. In the same quarter
Don Clark recovered a tumble
on Philo's 18 to set up the next
score. Jim McCauley passed to
Paul Oliver for the I'D. with
jun Clark passing to McCauley
for the point. In the final stanza,
Eek Clark plunged over from the
three for Caldwell's final points.

oiidiC IllS lCdSQC ICdQ, OuI Il1lO
With the squad at full strength
last week, Caldwell downed the
stubborn Jay-Hawks with a COM
bined air and ground attack,
scoring twice by each route.
Ronald Schell, who tailed two
touchdowns, reeled-off several
sweeping end runs while Harley
Fowler and Ronald Reed cracked
the line.
Al Christopher tossed two
touchdowns passes, one for 18
yards to Fowler, and the other
to Alan Walton good for 83 yards.
But always it was the hard-hit-
ting, fast-charging Caldwell line
that opened holes for its own
backs and broke up thrusts by
the opponents. These unsung
linemen piled up the Jay Hawks
consistently for a loss of So yards,
surging into the Dresden back
field to solve the pitch-outs and
tricky ball handling of the visit
or's ''I' and ''T' formations.
The game was fast, hard-fought
and clean, Dresden trying des-
perately to get back on the vic
tory trail, and Caldwell deter
mined not to be upset again this
year by the Hawks. The
losers showed no let-up in their
playing, fighting right down to
the final whistle in an effort to
cross the Redskins closely-guard-
ed goal line.
Christopher's opening kickoff
went into the end zone, catching
the JayAHawks flat footed on the
10, but the safety man picked it
up and ran it out to the eight.
After failing to make a first
down, Dresden punted to Fowler
at mid-field, the ball being re-
turned to the Dresden A.
On the first play for the Red
, skins, Ronnie Reed was hit hard
going into the line, fumbling the
ball and Dresden recovering on
the 40. The Jay-Hawks pounded
the left side of Caldwell's line for
short gains to penetrate to the
Redskin AZ before losing the ball
on downs.
At this point Caldwell launch
ed 58-yard scoring drive as
Harley Fowler crashed through
for eight yards and Ron Schell
going wide for 10 and a first
down on Dresden's 40. Fowler
picked up four, Reed four, then
Fowler made it another first
down on the 27.
SchelI took a handOff from
Christopher and behind perfect
blocking swept wide around
left end, racing down the side
lines 27 yards for the first
touchdown. Quarterback Al
Christopher added the point on
a placement and Coach Saund-
ers' boys led 10 midway in the
first period.
Fighting back, Dresden march
ed up the field from their own 80
to the Caldwell 38 despite being
dumped for losses twice by Jim
King and Junior Cunningham.
Here the drive petered out and
the Jay-Hawks punted out of
bounds on Caldwell's IL just
after the second quarter started.
The Redskins, with Fowler,
Schell and Reed alternating at
carrying the ball, racked up four
first downs as they moved all
the way to Dresden's % where
they were forced to surrender
the pigskin. The Jay-Hawks were
momentarily out-charging the
Caldwell line
Taking the initiative here, Jim
King spilled the next play for an
eight-yard loss to the Is, then
Tim Tarleton pounced on a
tumble to give Caldwell the ball
on the Is and set up the next

THE REDSKINS reach the peak

THE REDSKINS reach the peak
of their 1852 football season
this Friday night when they in
wade Philo to tackle the unbeat-
en-, united, unscored upon Elec-
tries in the game which will
settle possession of first place in
the Muskingum Valley League.
Coach Tom Saunders will un-
doubtedly pull out all the stops
as he sends his unbeaten and un-
tied Redskins into the game in
an effort to spring a David and
Goliath" act. 1t will be a case
of the smallest school in the
league with handful of deter
mined boys, trying to cut down
the giant of the league, which
has dominated the loop for sever
al years both in football and
basketball. The Redskins have
yielded two touchdowns this
year, one to Byesville against
second stringers and one to New
Concord against a badly-crippled
squad. The Electrics have kept
their goal line uncrossed, even
against powerful M & M last
week, team they brushed aside
$50.
SAM HATFIELD, popular Philo
coach, is in his 18th year as
head mentor of the Electrics, who
are cunning for their third con-
secutive title. Their record is only
two losses in the last % games
covering two and a half years. In
1851 Roseville stunned the Elec
tries 1877 for their only loss,
while New Concord did likewise
1876 in the final game of the 1850
campaign.
COMPARATIVE scores of the
two teams show Philo scoring
1876 points while holding their
opponents scoreless in winning
five games. Caldwell, on the
other hand, has tailed 110 points
whit limiting their opposition to
13 in the same number of games.

Commissioners Urge
Change in Tax Law

The State Association Of County
Commissioners of Maryland went
on record yesterday as favoring
property assessments in threc-ycar
cycles, but with the assessments to
be put on the books every year.
About 60 members of boards
throughout the state also reaf-
fmmcd the associations stand of
last year and recommended state
supported boosts in teachers sal
aries.
The assessment law passed by
the 1851 Legislature and due to
take effect in 1854 establishes
three-year cycles. But the statute
provides that one-third of a county
be reviewed each year and the new
assessments kept off the books
until the end Of the cycle.
Of the Is counties represented
at the meeting in Annapolis only
Calvert voted against the proposal.
Its commissioners said they wanted
to keep the rotation system due to
start in 1854. Attending the SEES
sion from this county were Jonas
W. Sines, commissioner; S. R.
Papenhardt. attorney to the board,
and w. w. Dewitt, county roads
engineer.
The action on teachers salaries
came after an unproductivo discus
sion Of a report by special COM
mission that had recommended
pay increases.
In other actions the association
