SELL PETERS BAKER WILSON Friday, October 19, Middleport, featuring the Bennett brothers, came to Jackson and swamped us 26-7 in the second of Jackson’s league games. We played well, but Middleport was stronger and faster than Jackson. Red Wilson intercepted a pass and nearly made a touchdown for Jackson, running seventy yards. Tom Peters also played an exceptionally good game. An exceptionally close game was staged by Jackson and their next opponents, New Boston, in the first league game of the season, the score being 13-12 in favor of Jackson. Lyons gave an excellent exhibition of kicking, and “Red Wilson” turned in end runs especially well.

The last game before the Thanksgiving engagement was played on our home field with Athens. Athens had a weak team, but the over confident Jackson Eleven, practically gave them the game. They lost to their under-rated opponents 0-7. The traditional game of the season was played at Wellston, on Thanksgiving morning. The Jackson “Red Men” won over the Wellston “Blue Devils” by a score of 7-0. All the positions on Jackson Eleven were filled by Seniors till Denton McAfee was taken out with his bum knee. We wonder what the score would have been, had Dent been able to stay on the field. WHITAKER McGHEE FARRAR EVANS
