New Concord retaliated by
running the next kickoff back
% yards before Ray Watson
made a last second tackle to save
the day. Darrell Cubbison, Mus
kie tailback got loose for %
yards to Caldwell's 35, where
the Redskin line held for no
gain on two plays. A couple of
attempted passes were broken
up by Frederickson and Heddle-
son to give Caldwell the ball
once more.
This time a 65-yard drive
resulted in touchdown number
two as Caldwell's ground game
moved steadily forward, while
short passes to Leon Bates and
Frederickson picked up two i'm
portant first downs.
With first-and-goal to go on
the nine, Frederickson skirted
left end on two tries to push
the score to 1870. This time
FredericksOn was halted on
plunge for point midway in
the second quarter.
A short fine later in the
second period, the Redskins
found themselves with their
backs to the goal when a
Muskie punt eluded the safety
men and rolled dead on Cald-
wells one-yard stripe. Freder-
ickson scooped up the ball but
could advance only to the five.
The goal line was 95 yards
away but the Redskins roared
downfield to score again. Bates
hit the line three times for nine
yards, Frederickson went for
eight, and Bates two more to
the "a. Bridgeman took off on
a 30-yard ramble followed by a
23-yard sprint by Frederickson
to put the ball on New Concord's
%.
Bridgeman picked up eight
yards to the Is, then after a
pass TO Leon Bates fell in
complete, FredericksOn took a
pitchOut, cut back, and scored
standing up. Bates failed to
make the extra point on a
plunge but the score was 1870.
New Concord's final series
before halftime was broken up
when Frederickson intercepted
pass near midfield.
The third quarter saw Cald-
well bog down on New Con-
cords 20~yard line just inches
short of a first down. The Mus
kies failed to gain on two series
and punted. Later in the third
frame, a Redskin threat died
when Cubbison intercepted
pass on his own Is and returned
it AZ yards to CaldwelTs 38.
This New Concord surge end
ed on the 30-yard line, three
plays later when Fritz Watson
recovered a tumble. The Muskies
found themselves in a hole

some of the wierdest officiating
ever seen, called 10 penalties on

IN LEAGUE PLAY, Caldwell
has defeated Dresden three
games to one since the Jay
Hawks entered league competi-
ton in 1850. However, in 1945
Dresden came here to win a 1877
non-league game. Past results:

l952-Caldwell 25, Dresden 0
195l-Dresden II, Caldwell z
1950-Caldwell 80, Dresden 7
1945-Dresden 13, Caldwell Z
TEN YEARS AGO - Dresden
did not appear on Caldwelrs
schedule, having not yet enter
ed the Muskingum Valley
League. Wartime gasoline and
tire restrictions were still limit
ing travel distance, so a return
non-league game with New Con-
cord was arranged to be played
away. The Muskies gained re-
venge for an early season 14-O
loss by trimming Caldwell 1870.
In the opening quarter, Bill
Rlchcreek took a punt near the
goal line but fumbIed the ball
when hit at the five. New Con-
cord recovered and punched
over touchdown on two plays.
Quarterback White scored and
kicked the point for a TO lead.
In the fourth quarter, Ralph
Seffens' pass was intercepted
and returned deep into Caldwell
territory where Mcdonald scored
on a reverse from the l9.
AL CHRISTOPHER, former
Redskin star now at Ohio Uni
versity got into the scoring last
Saturday as the Bobcats trim
med Western Reserve $40 at
Cleveland. In the second quarter
with Ohio U. leading 10, Al was
sent in by Coach Widdoes to at
tempt field goal with the ball
on the 81. It was spotted down
around the 30 and sailed clear
out of the playing field, almost
40 yards in the air. This put
Ohio ahead 100. Later in the
fourth quarter while playing
quarterback, Al attempted
placement for extra point, and
although the kick was wide, the
ball went clear over the gymnas-
ium which is close to the north
end of the field.

this Friday night on the
local field for the Redskins
second home game.
Jumping Joe" Frederick
son tailed three touchdowns
and Don Bridgeman one as Cald-
well took 1910 lead at halftime
then punched over final score
in the last period after being
held scoreless in the third GUAR
ter
Quarterback Sam Bates COM
pleted eight out of II passes for
105 yards including a touchdown
heave to Frederickson which
covered 46 yards for the initial
score. The Muskies completed
three passes out of ii for 40
yards but had three intercepted.
On the ground, Caldwell made
IL first downs as they rolled up
266 yards by rushing. New Con-
cord had 80 yards gained on the
ground, but the strong defensive
play of the Redskin line limited
the Muskies to a mere 36 yards
in the first half.
The Caldwell line, anchored
by center Fritz Watson, has
turned in a remarkable job so
far this season, both on offense
and defense. Friday nights game
was no exception as each man
filled his position capably to help
insure the victory. Dutch"
Estadt was particularly out
standing last week, making
three consecutive clear-cut
tackles for a total loss of six
yards on one series.
Sophomore Bob Kidder spark
led defensively intercepting a
pass and returning it 36 yards
in the last quarter, plus running
back two punts for IL and 80
yards. Sam Bates also make a
fine runback of a pass intercep-
ton for 81 yards, picking up
beautiful downfield blocking
from his mates.
Caldwell received the opening
kickoff of the game, and after
one running play and two passes
netted only yard, were forced
to punt, Jerry Heddleson boot
ing the ball to the New Concord
40. The Redskins inability to
move the pigskin on this first
series of plays was reminiscent
of last year when the two teams
battled to a scoreless tie.
The Muskies, spanked by a 81
yard pass, moved to Caldwell's
Is on their first series of plays.
In fact, they had first-and-ten
on the %, but four running plays
resulted in loss of three yards
as Caldwell took over on downs.
Despite a heavy drizzle which
persisted during the first quart
er, the Redskins launched a rs
yard touchdown march with
quarterback Bates doing most of
the ball-toting to take the pres
sure off Frederickson.
Two penalties for 20 yards
delayed the drive to pay dirt,
but Bates tossed short pass
to FrederickSOn who raced As
yards to score behind Leon

way back to the three behind

LAST YEAR, the Redskins de-

Walton tossing three touchdown
passes. The first score in the
opening quarter came when
Ronnie Reed bucked over center
from the one-yard line but Wal

the second period, Walton passed
to Roland Ralph in the end zone
for a 22-yard touchdown, and
and later tossed a 24-yard aerial

SHORTS

THE REDSKINS are host to the
Jay-Hawks of Dresden on the
local athletic field this Friday
night, game time being 800
o'clock. Johnny Hadden's eleven,
although winning only one game
out of four, has never failed to
score against three pretty tough
teams. They bowed to Phifo
28-13 in their opener, nipped
Glouster 60, then fell to Crooks
vile 1876 and NJ & NJ 35-I2.
THE JAY-HAWKS have a total
of eleven lettermen this year,
but only six of these were start
ers in the game against Caldwell
last season. These are end Dave
Longaberger, tackle Les Vande-
bark, center AL thinner, and
backs Harold James, Ed Prince
and Dwayne Shroyer. The other
lettermen are Don Mcbride, Rod
Bice, Don Shroyer, Jim Helt and
Max Hittle.
SCORING for the visitors has
been pretty evenly divided,
James coming through with two
touchdowns Prince two, Bice one
and Shroyer one. Their lone
extra point was registered by
Bice on plunge. All in all,
Dresden has six seniors, seven
Juniors, six sophomores and six
freshmen. Weight, or rather the
lack of it, has been one of coach
Hadden's main problems, since
only the two centers at ITO and
l68 pack any weight to speak of.
STARTING LINEUP for Dres-
den in Friday nights game
will probably be as follows:

Located on widely travelled Route
103 just four and half miles
east of Bluffton, the Harry E.
Gehrisch farm was not too difficult
to identify last week in the Bluffton
News Mystery Farm Contest.
The large P-shaped drive in the
barnyard and the initials PW in
the house roof slate removed all
question of the identity for those
familiar with the local rural scene.
The initials stand for Peter Wilson,
father of Mrs. Gehrisch, who re-
rooted the original house after buy
ing the farm in 4 1881. The first
residence building is believed to be
more than 100 fears old, although
much has been added to it since.
As matter Of fact, the large
farm home not only houses the
Gehrisches, but is also includes apart
ments occupied by Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Schaller and Mr.. and Mrs.
Richard Kuhn and their two children
Mr.. Gehrisch retired from farm
ing about 10 years ago because of
his health, and he says he just
"looks after things" which are in
the capable hands of a nephew,
Ralph Schaller. Mr.. Schaller lives
on an adjoining farm, also owned
by the Gehrisches, and farms total
of 240 acres.
In the Schaller family are four
children, two boys, Dean and Larry;
and two girls, Rosella and Jane.
Dean is working in Wooster, Ohio,
and Larry is a sophomore at Cory
Rawson high school. Rosella is in
the Mt. Cory grade school, and Jane
is only two years old.
On the Gehrisch farm proper about
30 head of Hereford cattle and 50
hogs are presently pastured. The
operation consists mainly of raising
feed for the livestock and some
wheat.
Mr.. and Mrs Gehrisch have lived
on the farm, on which Mrs. Gehrisch
was born, all their married lives.
They have two children, a daughter,
