The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1958-10-30

Glouster had the edge in first
downs 1912 but Caldwell took
honors in rushing yardage 211-
zos. The Tomcats completed six
out OF 10 passes for 86 yards
compared to the Redskins three
out of eight for % yards. Cald-
well was penalized twice for 20
yards while the Tomcats played
the entire game without a pen
atty.
Actually it was the defensive
play of Coach Jim Smoot's sur
prlslng Redskins that saved the
day as they recovered three
fumbles and intercepted goal
line pass in the second half to
break up threats. The Caldwell
line also held on the one-foot
line after pass interference was
called at that spot on the final
play of the first half.
Caldwelrs season record now
stands at five wins, one loss and
one tie with two tough games
remaining - Crooksville away
and McConnelsville at home.
Glouster is PAL for the year.
First Quarter
The Redskins looked good on
their first series of plays march
ing 63 yards on II plays before
losing the ball on tumble on
Glouster's Vineyard line. Dave
Wikander returned the opening
kick IA yards to the Caldwell 81
to start the drive, then with full
back Dick Semple bulldozing his
way for 38 yards in six trips and
Dave Ferguson getting II in two
sweeps, the Redskins moved
down to the Glouster six. Semple,
who averaged Az yards per
carry for the evening, was jolted
hard and Doug Juniper recov-
cred the ball for the Tomcats to
stop the goalward march.
Glouster came back with
similar 63-yard drive that begged
down on the Caldwell % where
the Redskins took possession on
downs. This 15-play series for the
Tomcats saw their speedy little
halfback Bob Smith carry the
ball IL times for 40 yards. He
ran the ball % times all evening
for 83 yards and an average of
81 per trip.
Second Quarter
With good, hard football fea-
turing the game on both sides,
the teams went at it again in the
scoreless first half. Caldwell's
first chance with the ball from
their own % gained only six
yards in three plays and forced
punt to the Glouster SO.
The Tomcats, who had a dis
tinct edge in the first half, moved
upheld on the running of full
back Monte Hook and halfback
Don Holbert to their own 48. A
quick pass from quarterback
Mike Carter to end Bill Bryson
in the clear gave Caldwell some
anxious moments until he drop
ped the perfect pitch.
Two plays later, Carter rolled
out on a keeper play and raced
81 yards to the Redskin 10 for
his only carry of the evening.
The Caldwell defense rose to the
occasion, however, and stopped
the visitors on the four to take
over the ball at this spot.
With all four backs taking
their turn at running, the Red
skins moved out to the 80 where
Wikander's pass to Gary Keeton
was bobbled and then intercepted
by Gerald Six, as time was
running out.
After an incomplete pass,
Smith scampered Il yards to the
18 and Hook added four to the
IA. With time for just one more
play, Carter tossed a pass to
Eldon Grinstead which was
broken up on the goal line as
the half ended. Interference was
called on Dave Ferguson, how
ever, and the ball was spotted
down on the one-foot line, but
the Redskin line dug in once
more and stopped Smith cold at
the scrimmage line.
Third Quarter
The TOmcatS opened the
second half by marching 63
yards to a touchdown with
Hook crashing his way into
the end zone from about a foot
out. Three completed passes
for Al yards set up the tally
and Hook scored the extra
points on flat pass from Car
ter to give Glouster an 80 lead.
The fired-up Redskins charged
right back to knot the score be-
ginning with short kick which
Tom Lewis ran back to the Cald- |
well 38. A 15-yard clipping pen
atty was overcome by 13yard
pass from Wikander to Lewis |
moving the ball to the Caldwell |
AZ.
SempIe picked up IL yards
in two trips then Ferguson,
after reeling off IL yards,
