Raiders Dropped Heartbreaker To
Strong Westerville Team Friday

London's Red Raiders played one
of their best games of the season
at Westerville Friday night, but
they were not up to the skill and
experience of the fighting Wester-
vile eleven. Actually, the 20-7 loss
was probably the biggest surprise
of the season, as London dropped
from the undefeated list in the Mid
Six League, and the game will
probably go down as one of the
best officiated games of the year.
Despite the fact that London had
the ball more frequently than they
did in the Hilliard game, they
gained only sixty-eight yards on
the ground, and were showed back
for twenty-five yards giving a net
gain of forty-three yards rushing.
The passing arm of Miller account
ed for ninety-five yards in six COM
pleted tosses He was Smothered in
three attempts, but got off ten
passes.
London's lone score was made on
a ten-yard run around end by Andy
Hart. Arrick kicked the extra point
to make good the chance. On only
one other occasion did London get
within the ten-yard line.
Coach Jim Bowlus said the Red
Raiders played as hard as they
possibly could, and probably hard
er than they have any other time
this year They were just up
against a hard fighting team with
more power than was to be eX-
pected.
Westerville, besides having a
strong offense and defense, were
thoroughly prepared for any pass
ING attempts by Miller They had
evidently secuted London, and seen
the precision work of the air arm
This weekend London will face
Grove City in another League
game before meeting Marysville
here in the homecoming game on
October 25. The Marysville team is
now the only undefeated Mid-SiX
eleven left after the London-West-
erville decision.
The loss to Westerville is ex-
pected to put the Red Raiders back
in the hungry for victory" brack-
eft, and they will be working hard
all week in order to be able tc
meet Grove City on foreign soil
The Raiders dropped one other
game this season. but came back
from the loss to down an over
rated Worthington here. They will
be trying for similar victory over
both Grove City and Marysville ir
the next two games.

Karnes kicked the extra point for
halftime score of 1870 over the
Ashville visitors.
Neither team managed to score
in the third period, but in the
fourth both accounted for a touch
down and the extra point. Tom
Sheerin took a twenty-five-yard
pass from Jim Hockenbery for
West Jefferson, and Karnes kicked
for the final decision of 20-7 over
the AShville member of the Darby
Valley League.
West Jefferson's Jim Hocken-
berry connected with two of the
three passes which he attempted
during the evening.
