The
Rambler
Sea Dog SnorIs
At Bridge Tender
BY JACK JONAS

A big LIST paid q visit to
Washington's docks last week
to take a group of civilians on
a short trip down the Potomac,
and everything went fine on
the doWn-river voyage.
But coming back, the ship
at 327 feet one of the big
gest to dock here-Was IS min
utes ahead of schedule at the
South Capitol street bridge. A
blast on its horn brought no
response from the bridge
tenders.
Maybe it's because we're
too early" someone suggested.
Nonsense" a Navy man
said. Navy ships can go
through these bridges any
time"
There were several more
fruitless blasts from the horn.
Then, at last, four men burst
from the tenders house in a
furry of belated energy and
hustled about opening the
draw SO the huge ship could
squeeze through.
AS it passed, the LISTS
bridge was at about the same
level as the river bridge floor.
Sorry, cap'n," one of the
bridge tenders shouted.

Fiinicky

A girl who had reached the
age where the most important
thing in life for her was to
own a white mouse, firmly
made her wants known to her
mother.
Now, at the same time, in
the same neighborhood, was
another little girl who already
owned a white mouse, but had
tired of the pet and wanted to
get rid of it.
The mother of the first little
girl made the logical sugges-
ton.
But her mouse is all frizzy,"
the daughter protested. And if
there's anything I can't stand,
it's a dowdy mouse"

Raiders victors Over Strong Eleven
From WesterviIIe Here Friday Night

London's Red Raiders stacked
up an impressive $50 victory here
Friday night as Westerville took
one of their worst defeats of the
season. And until the game was
well underway many were giving
Westerville the edge.
Sparked with considerable inn
provement since the loss to Wor-
thington, and with the best team
work of the season, the Raiders
fought hard all the way, and they
held the Westerville gridders at
least fifteen yards away from pay
dirt all through the game.
After the game had got off to a
rolliclsing start for the Raiders,
Gus Miller took the ball over for
the first I'd with 8:48 left in the
first period. Tingley made good
his first of four dead center extra
points. Ramey scored the second
I'd with 9:16 of the second period
remaining bringing the score to
40 and Tingley came through
with TIA to go before the half and
made the halftime figures 21-0.
Westerville came back after the
half, and threatened to score, but
Londons defense denied them any
thing closer than Is yard line. In a
single play they attempted to pass
into pay territory, but London's
Ramey intercepted the pass on the
Id and started a march of sc
yards setting up the final I'd and
the score of $50.
LONDON racked up $50 yards
rushing and completed the only
pass tried for 6 yards. The Raid
ers counted IA first downs. They
intercepted two of the Westerville
pass attempts. London had poss-
ession of the pigskin eight times
and on four of these they scored
seven points.
In the game coming up rrIuaS
evening on the London field, the
Raiders stand chance to give
Worthington a scare in their tria
for the Mid-Six Crown. Shoulc
Westerville defeat Worthington
and London win the Grove City
game here the lead for the titlt
would be tied. And then Londor
still has game to play witt
Marysville which could give then
a lead. Should London and Grove
City tie it would give Worthingtoi
a free ride to victory in the lea
que.
incidentally, Coach Bowlus an
nounced that a filmed version O
the Westerville game will b.
shown at the school Tuesday eve
ming for all those who are inter
ested. All home games and mos
away games are filmed for refer
e.rce and re-showing on Tuesday

The other I'D came when Carter

The final score was 20-12 with
ia winning.
In other county system football
over the weekend Madison South
nearly took a victory over Triad,
but an official decision called back
I'D. Madison had led at the half
7-6. The first I'D was quarter
back sneak by Kline, and he stay
ed to kick the extra point.
The play progressed with norm
al action until Baird took a 20
yord pass from Kline and raced
80 yards to the goal line. The play
was called back after an official
contended that the ball was dead.
The final score was 1877 with
Triad winning.
West jefferson broke a streak of
ties by dropping their Friday
night meet with Bremen, with a
score of 1876. Bremen got I'd
in each of the first two quarters.
West Jefferson tried four times to
get across from within the ten
yard line. Finally George Sidner
took a pass from Jim Hockenberry
and went over in the fourth per-
iod. The final story was told in
Bremen'S favor 1876.
Mt. Sterling bowed again this
week to a strong team, and repor-
ted considerable improvement in
general playing. Good defensive
wark was credited with holding
Academy to a score of 13. The Mt.
Sterling lads counted no score. Of
fensive play was not strong enough
to break the Academy line.
The closest Mt. Sterling got to
pay-dirt was on the II when they
finally failed in fourth down sit
uation. Mt. Sterling racked up IS
yards rushing and 35 passing with
four of ten attempts successful.
They intercepted 3 Academy pass
es. Academy had 121 yards rush
ing, AZ passing and completed six
