East Cleveland leader. [volume] (East Cleveland, Ohio) 1942-1970, 1961-10-05

| Cleveland's 50th anniverss
things first, the football game
should head the discussion as
aside from being the league
opener, there are bitter memor-
les of Shaw fans of an upset last
year that cost the local team the
coveted Lake Erie Crown.
Of course the Cardinals will
be out to revenge that humiliat-
ing defeat, while the visitors will
be eagerly trying to make it two
in a row.
There are no favorites in this
contest as both teams will at
tempt to get on the winning
track tomorrow after embarrass-
ing defeats last week.
Upset by Garfield Hts.
Shaw, as you know, lost its
first game of the year to an ag-
gressive and alert pack of tough
Bulldogs residing in a communi-
ty called Garfield Heights. by a
score of 10 to 0.
Displaying an outstanding
blitzing defense, Garfield pre-
vented the dangerous Shaw
backs, Bruce Matte and Ken
Golash from breaking loose for
any long yardage.
Time and time again when
Shaw would show any signs of
mostering an attack the Garfield
defense would throw them for a
loss and stop any potential
threats.
Score in First Qoarter
Garfield scored in the first
quarter on two plays from THEN
own % yard line.
The first play was a 34 yarc
pass to end Art Zachary to the
Shaw 43. On the next play half
back Jim Skoczen burst up the
middle and went all the way for
the only touchdown of the game
The Bulldogs ran for the ex-
ira points to give them an to
0 lead.
1t was a battle of defense the
remainder of the game as both
teams punted numerous times.
Garfield's punt in the third
quarter rolled dead on the Shaw
one yard line, and two plays
later halfback Bob Taskes of the
Cardinals was tackled in the end
zone for a safety, to give the
Bulldogs their final points.
The Shaker Red Raiders also
were undefeated until last week
when they were edged by Brush.
In fact, last week was a black
period for all LEI teams. They
all lost except Lakewood.
Shaker could very we'll trip up
Shaw again, for they have an
explosive team which has
downed formidable opponents by
large scores-that is until Brush
entered the act.
The Red Raider offense is
well-balanced with the fine pass
ing of Qnarterback Larry Lux
ask who was a villain in last
years tilt with Shaw; plus the
speed and versatility Of Half
backs Joe Petko and Jim Nc
Grange.
Add this to a fast-charging
line and you have trouble.
