LEEEEUUEDUUEDU FE CQ eamgrzfgiig Zllnntlmll Svetlana HE Scott football team of 1920, although once defeated. was one of the best that ever represented a Toledo High School. This great aggrega- tion started early in the season to show promise of again bringing to Scott the national interscholastic championship, held so proudly by this school in '16, '18, and '19, Not until the defeat by Cleveland East Tech did these hopes vanish. This was a blow which will be remembered by Scott adherents for some time to come: but defeat, taken in the right attitude, is like victory. And, Scott not only submitted to this East Tech victory in the right manner, but. moreover, offered no alibi. As in the past two years, a large part of the credit for the development of the team rightfully belongs to J. K. Pat Dwyer, the best coach on any high school gridiron in the country. His line personality, which wins for him the personal affection of all his players, coupled with his far-reaching technical knowledge of the game itself makes him the coach that he is. Credit is also due to Faculty lilanager Fred Siebert, to the support accorded the team by the school and city, and more directly to the team itself, captained by Carl Faber and efficiently managed by Robert R. Coon. SCOTT-125 NORYVALK-0 Norwalk was the first team to journey to Scott Field. opening the season on October 2. Although decisively defeated, they left a memento which made the victory a costly one for the winners. Scott's captain, Doc Faber, was removed from the game with a fractured ankle. Not only was the loss of his splendid leadership a bitter blow, but it removed from the line one of the best tackles Scott has ever produced. Norwalk was much lighter than Scott, and the Green Backs did about as they pleased. Led by Dutch,' Vick, the backlield with Schafer, York, and Flues put up an irresistable attack, while the line held against the attack of the lighter Norwalk backs. SCOTT-+2 XVOOSTER-0 On the following Saturday Scott met VVooster High School. This team. though outclassed in every department, put up a good iight. Scott piled up -I-Z points during the 48 minutes of playing, while XVooster was forced to be content with making friends with the ball now and then: only to lose it, without gain, a moment later. lVooster appeared to be helplessly lost during the initial period, while Scott scored three touchdowns. In each of the following quarters Scott added another seven points to their credit. Little was uncovered by the home players, who depended upon straight line bucking and end runs. VVithin four minutes after the whistle's sound began the fray Scott had made a touchdown, aided by a 20-yard run by Jack Reeder and a 15 yard sprint over the goal-line by Dutch Vick. The work of Hayes R'Ionk lleyers oh the line was a conspicuous and a bright feature, our stellar guard blocking several kicks besides performing his usual duties to the satisfaction of everyone, including the opposing linemen. During the fracas Coach Dwyer gave several of the substitutes an opportunity to show their abilities. 118

EEEEEGUENUEN QEEGQ EiJDlEE1J ami? SCOTT-34 1IARIONeO On October 16 Rlarion furnished the opposition for the Scottersg it was real opposition but as usual Scott had the long end of the count when the final whistle blew. Playing nothing but straight football, with an end run or a pass thrown in occasionally for variety, the Scott team wrecked any championship aspirations which might have been lurking in the minds of the boys from Harding Town. Five touch downs were made during the warm afternoon of rough and tumble pastime, all of which were registered by the Scott backs who shared about equally in the scoring hours. llarion had a well balanced eleven that fought hard all through the game, but it was out-classed, out-played, and out-generaled, only making 3 tirst downs during the afternoon. Reeder made the first score early in the game, when he went 10 yards through the line and over. Passes from Vick to York and Sharer added another touchdown shortly after the start of the second halt. From then on Scott's class commenced to show and the battle became more one-sided as the plunging of Vick and the other Scott ball-toters became harder to stop. Scott showed great improvement in this game and time after time the forward wall broke through and stopped lllarion plays before they fairly started. Lineup and Summary SCQTT-3-P MARION-0 L.
