The Big Reds had an easy time defeating the Red and White of Pennsboro, although they put up a scrappy game. Parkersburg was without the services of two regulars in this game, Robin Bell being ineligible and Julian Murrin being out on ac- count of a sprained ankle. As the day was very warm the game was rather slow and lots of time outs were taken by both teams. Every man on the squad was given a chance to show his wares and all performed in high order. Fifty-Eight 1 -1 'x f l '. -Q' The final score was 46-0 in favor of Parkersburg. Quite a large delegation accompanied the boys and made every one in Pennsboro know they were from the city of Parkersburg. Coach Tomas found many defects in the local machine and pro- ceeded to repair them the following week in practice. BIG REDS-SPENCER The next Saturday, Sept. 30th, Spencer visited our fair city, hoping to lower our colors, but were turned away with a 26-0 de- feat. The game was hard fought, Spencer presenting a scrappy team who know how to play football and proceeded to do so, but they were no match for the powerful Red Jerseyed Eleven. J. Mur- rin was again out of the game, Coach Thomas not wishing to take chances on losing him all season. The intensive heat again slowed the game up, time being called several times to quench the thirst of the players. Spencer is to be congratulated on such a scrappy eleven for every yard the Big Reds gained was hard earned. BIG REDS-GRAFTON A good big team can always win from a good little teamg for that reason the little 140-pound team from Grafton fell before the on- slaught of the Big Reds by the score of 46-0. Grafton presented a fast set of backs who registered five first downs. The first half the locals were not hitting very smoothly and only registered two scores but our boys came back strong the next half and ran up tive touch downs. Grafton fought but were outclassed and at no time were dangerous. They were a clean bunch of fellows ,the kind we like to see, for there's a victory in every clean game, for both sides. N - -
