GRIDIRON REVIEW Martinsville opened their 1931 football schedule at Shelbyville September 4. Both teams showed that they could stand more training in order that the rough spots might be taken off. Both machines displayed a powerful defense and the result of this was that neither crew scored. The Artesians played the whole game without a single sub- stitution, a thing that seldom happens in football. Next week Frankfort came down to wage a football war with the Spaulding men and after the dust had settled from the battle it was visible that the Hotdawgs had been victorious by a margin of 20 to 0. Frank- fort's great advantage in weight was the reason for their wide margin victory. They kept the Martinsville bantam's backed up to the goal line most of the time. Stinging from defeats and ties, the Spaulding gridmen were out for victory at all cost. Greencastle was the unlucky team and the Artesians ran wild through the Tiger Cubs and scored Z6 points to none for Greencastle. Tiger meat must have tasted good to the Artesians. All cocked and primed from their previous exploit with Tiger Cubs, the Artesians were off to get the scalps of the Anderson In- dians, but the Indians were more skillful with scalping knives, and Martinsville came home scalped 20 to 7. It was a last half rally on the part of the redskins that netted them victory. After the terrific battle with Anderson, the Spaulding men set to work for the squad from the suburbs of Indianapolis. First was the Broad Ripple crew. Martins- ville met a suprisingly strong team which finally banged its way to a 13 to 7 victory. The next week the Artesians were out to make it .500 percent with the Indianapolis suburbs and Southport was taken into camp 14 to 7. Gctober the sixteenth the Spartans from Connersville journeyed down to the health- ful city of Martinsville and just took the Artesians by surprise. Before six minutes had elapsed, the Spartans collected -two touchdowns. By this time the Artesians had learned how to stop Spartans and both teams only scored one more counter each. Due to the inelligibility of one of the Gladiators, Martinsville was later given the game 2 to O. Perhaps the saying that Owls sleep in the daytime and travel around at night is true. Martinsville held the onslaught of the Lyonsmen during the first of the tussle but the wise old Owls were fully awake when the second half started, and walked away with a 20 to 0 victory. Next came the powerful Mumby machine, and the Spaulding men had been anticipat- ing this game all year. Both teams were wanting to win, but this game was to tell whether the Artesians were a success or not this season. The Artesian water system was working beautifully and one time the Panthers were drowned out on the one yard line. The Panthers claws were also plenty sharp and the result was that both antagon- ists were unable to cross the goal line. After a wonderful showing against Bloom- ington, Martinsville had hopes of winding up their season in a delightful manner but this was as far as they got, for this game meant whether Columbus had had :1 successful season or not. The Bulldogs put on a first half drive which resulted in seven points, and this earned them a successful seasong although the Artesians had several opportunities to score they failed.
