Coach Dwight Bupp's invaders are probably the strongest team in the state of Ohio with a one win, eight loss record which they will bring into Woos- ter tonight. 5 Mount Vernon lost its hrst game of the season to a strong Coshocton eleven 7-6. Coshocton was edged by Wooster in the Football Preview 13-7. The Yellow jackets won their second 1949 tussle from New Boston 47-0. Since then, they have lost seven straight games. The first of those seven games was to Columbus Bexley 21-0. They were smashed by Upper Arling- ton, unbeaten and once-tied this year, 47-0 in the next game. Then followed a 13-12 loss to Columbus St. Mary's, followed by a 13-10 defeat at the hands of Delaware. ' Columbus Grandview, also unbeaten and once- tied this season, and the team which tied Upper Arlington, had a rough time with the Yellow Jackets before winning 21-9. Newark turned on the steam to smash Mount Vernon 59-0. Last week, New Philadelphia honored its coach Bill Kidd by smashing Mount Vernon 33-7. Mount Vernon will feature its All-Ohio halfback Dick Shuff in tonight's game. Shuff is easily the outstanding player on the Mount Vernon team. Last year previous to the Wooster-Mount Vernon game, Shuff had scored 11 touchdowns in six games. All he did in the Wooster game was score four touchdowns for 24 points as the Yellow Jackets defeated the Generals 27-23. Wooster jumped to a quick 9-0 lead in the first quarter of that game. Shuff took off on a long touchdown run and Wooster led 9-7. The Generals moved into a 16-7 lead with an- other T.D. before Shuff broke loose again, 16-14. Mount Vernon's ace back ran 55 yards to the Wooster four-yard line to set up a third touch- down. He scored it on the next play, 21-16. Woos- ter once more moved ahead 25-21, but Shuff turned the trick again, and the Yellow Jackets won 27-23. Two seasons ago at Wooster, Coach Gene Cole- man made his debut as a Wooster coach, and saw his gridders stopped by Mount Vernon 12-O. Only once in eight meetings has Wooster man- aged to defeat Mount Vernon in football. Tonight Shu? should again be the Mount Ver- non spark plug.3He is the top runner in the back- field, and does most of the ball-carrying. The Yellow jackets will probably do a lot of passing, and Shuff will do most of the throwing. He also is the leading punter on the team. Mount Vernon runs most of its plays from a T-formation. This is the final game of the season for the Yellow jackets and the Generals. Mount Vernon High School marching band will appear at tonight's game with the Wooster High School band. The Mount Vernon band appeared at the Cleveland Browns-Buffalo Bill professional football game, and put on a successful show, de- lighting the crowd at the game.
