Concord Muskies 1913.
The game was postponed from
Thursday night at Caldwells
request due to illness, but the
Redskins were still not up to
par and absorbed their fourth
loss in seven games. The 33
points by Glouster tied the sea-
sons high mark in MVL play,
New Lex having trounced Rose
vile 1916 earlier in the year.
The Tomcats nailed the lid
on Caldwells coffin in the OPEN
ing quarter when they tailed
ii points. Both teams scored once
in the second period, went score
less in the third, and punched
over two touchdowns each in the
final stanza.
Caldwell ground out 236 yards
rushing but Glouster's point
minded offense racked up 383
yards. The Redskins on 36 carries
with the ball averaged SO yards
while the Tomcats controlled the
ball for 81 plays but averaged
oiily o-U per carry.
Sparkplug for Glouster's light
but speedy backfield was dimin-
uitive Chet Keith, 140-pound
halfback, senior but not a
letterman. He racked up two
touchdowns on runs of SO and
80 yards, and reeled off sizeable
gains almost every time he
handled the ball.
For Caldwell, freshman half
back Dick Semple drew the
starting assignment at left half,
and showed UP well with As
yards in five carries. Despite
toting the ball only once in the
second half for "a yards, he
averaged 8.8 per trip.
Dave Milligan, moved up onto
the line at right guard, sparkled
on defense as did Don Miller and
Ron Priest. Bob Devolld like
wise spoiled almost certain
touchdown runs with last minute
tackles.
First Quarter
Glouster received the opening
kickoff and left little doubt as
to the outcome of the game by
marching 70 yards to score. 1t
took Is plays featuring a 15-yard
run by Chet Keith and quarter
back Wayne Kirby's 12-yard
gamer after picking up his own
tumble. Halfback Bob Smith
went the final eight yards for
the touchdown and Bill Dunnette
plunged for the point and 10
lead.
The next kickoff got past
Caldwelps two deep men with
Devolld finally recovering it on
the two and advancing to the IA
before being downed. When
three plays made only five yards,
Devolld punted dead on Glou-
ster's 40.
The Tomcats struck swiftly,
using only four plays to hit pay
dirt again, as they sprung full
back Dunnette loose right up the
middle for 35 yards and the I'd.
Dunnette also plunged over for
the point and a 14-0 lead with
2:40 remaining to be played in
the first quarter.
Dick Semple took the next
kickoff on his own 80 and re-
turned it % yards to Glouster's
48. Caldwell moved deeper on
two runs by Semple for Is
yards and Dave Ferguson's gain
of three. The drive stalled on
Glousters 26 just inches short of
first down despite valiant
try by Ron Priest on buck over
the center.
Second Quarter
Following a monotonouS pat
tern, the Tomcats launched "a
yard touchdown march to run
the count to 21-0 and give them
score the first three times they
handled the ball. After four
plays moved Glouster out to their
own 48, Chet Keith took off like
a jack-rabbit and raced So yards
to score. Dunnette plunged for
the point and a 2l-0 lead.
Caldwell Immediately count
cred with a touchdown that
began when Gary Keeton re-
turned the kickoff Is yards to
the Caldwell As. The Redskins
moved 55-yards in 13 plays with
Devolld utilizing the spread play
to- eat up sizeable amounts of
yardage. The drive was culmin-
ated when Priest broke up the
middle from the four and ram
med his way into the end zone.
Devolld attempted to sneak over
for the point but was halted
short of the goal and the Red
skins trailed 21-6
Glouster almost made it four
for-four as they roared towards
Caldwell's goal once more with
time running out fast in the
first half. The drive was cut
| short, however, by the alertness
of Dave Milligan who speared a
| Tomcat pass on CaldwelPs five
just before the half ended.
Third Quarter
Coming back after the inter
mission, Caldwell put on a
squirt that carried Sc yards before
| dying out. After returning the
kickoff 16 yards to his own 81,
