THE REDSKINS invade the lair

THE REDSKINS invade the lair
of the Glouster Tomcats on
Thursday night to tangle with a
well-balanced team of IL seniors
who have turned in a $3.50 sea-
son thus far. 1t will be virtually
the same team defeated by Cald-
we'll last year 40-14 despite the
fact that Glouster had the edge
in first downs Is to six and out
gained the Redskins 263 yards
to 229.
COACH RALPH POWLESS,
after winning only one game
out of nine last season, is in the
process of building for the
future. Among his lettermen are
fullback Art Bryson who has
tailed eight touchdowns this
year, quarterback Tom Williams
and halfbacks Larry Schoenian,
Ron Jewell, and Terry Holbert.
On the line are such veterans as
ends Jim Kirby, Tom Ecksten-
hamper and Jan Angle, guards
Leonard Johnson and Charles
Hoffman, and tackle Dave Phil
lips.
THE TOMCATS have downed
Dresden 1877, Crooksville
1876, and GAINESVILLE Rosecrans
30-7. They were defeated by
Philo 7-6, New Concord 34-13,
and McConnelsville 1916. Against
Dresden, the Redskins won
25-14, against Philo they won
25-6, and with New Concord
tied 90.
LAST YEAR against Glouster,
Ronnie Reed returned the
opening kickoff rs yards to
score and Al Christopher kicked
the point for 10 lead before
the game was a minute old. Five
plays later, Jim King blocked a
Tomcat punt which Tim Tarle-
ton carried 40 yards to score.
Christopher converted for a
14-0 lead. Harley Fowler closed
the first quarter with a 29-yard
touchdown jaunt and a 200 mar
gin. In the third period Christie
pher completed a 44-yard touch
down pass to Fowler and kicked
the point for a 27-0 lead. After
