calps already tucked away, Coach
Jim Smoot will now turn his at
tention to the Redskins Muskin-
gum Valley League opener to be
played at New Lexington this
Friday night.
Last weeks game at Byesville
featured the tough defensive
play of the Redskins at every
post-linemen, line hackers, and
safety men-as well as some
slashing offensive play by the
Caldwell line which opened hole
after hole to spring the backs
for sizeable gains.
Jim Watson, Tom Yontz, Glen
Slay, and Virgil Green harassed
the Falcons consistently along
the line while Chad Moore and
Dick Semple were rough on the
Byesville backs whenever they
advanced into the Caldwell Sec
ondary.
The Redskin backs ground out
259 yards on the ground, full
back Semple picking up lis
yards and pair of touchdowns
plus a 33-yard jaunt for his long
est run of the game. Moore like
wise tailed twice, gained 86
yards on seven carries and reeled
off 36 yards for his longest run.
Junior halfback Bill Hayes
scored once, picked up 56 yards
rushing, and had a 36-yard run
to his credit. Freshman Ronnie
johnson performed quite capably
at the quarterback spot, COM
pleted one of three passes to
Glen Slay good for % yards, and
had only one fumbled handoff
compared to a total of 13 by the
Redskin backs in their season
opener against Fort Frye.
First Quarter
Byesville took the opening
kickoff deep and advanced it
only as far as the IL. A three
yard gain, a recovered tumble,
and four-yard loss on a savage
tackle by Tom Yontz made it
fourth down on the II. A Falcon
punt was taken by Chad Moore
on the Byesville 80 and returned
to the q to set up CaldWells
first touchdown.
Semple picked up yard,
Hayes added four, and Moore
slipped away for IA yards to the
eight, from where Semple plow-
ed over right guard to score.
Moore's run for extra points was
good but an offsides penalty
nullified the effort and when
Semple was stopped on second
try Caldwell led 60.
Byesville's next chance with
the ball saw the Falcons move
from their own 20 to the 36
where an exchange of punts
rounded out the first period.
Second Quarter
Following Byesville punt
taken by Moore on the so and
returned to the 81, Caldwell
registered a quick touchdown to
start the second quarter. Semple
got a yard on the first play, then
Moore took pitchout wide
around his own right end, cut
back to pick up blockers and
went SO yards to pay dirt.
Semple's run for points pushed
the score to 14-0.
The Falcons moved the next
kickoff from their own Is to
midfield on nine running plays
spanked by fullback Leonard
Brown who churned out short
yardage up the middle. A pass
ing attack at this point failed
to jell and Byesville relinquished
the ball on downs.
Four plays netted another I'D
for Caldwell before halftime as
Moore went for seven yards,
Semple found a hole good for 33
yards to the II, then two plays
later Semple went in to score
on the same type of run. Moore
was halted trying to run the
points but the Redskins left the
field at intermission with a 200
lead.
Third Quarter
Caldwell missed scoring
chance at the start of the third
quarter after a good kickoff re-
turn by Bill Hayes plus his &C.
yard run had moved the ball to
Byesville's Is. After a tumble
was recovered by Byesville, the
Falcons failed to make the nee
essary yardage for a first down
and the Redskins took over again
on the home teams 40-yard line.
With Semple carrying the ball
on eight out of 10 plays, Caldwell
moved slowly doWnfield to the
