Akron vs. Peck- This was the first game of a great season for the Akron Jets, and it was the first defeat for Peck in the last T5 games. Carsonville's journey was victorious for them on the field, but through the in- eligibility of one of their players the game was later forfeited to Akron. The first Saturday afternoon game of the Jets history was an easy victory for Akron. The fourth game of the season again showed Akron in the winning column. The final game of the year was a night game played at Unionville with Owendale. On the run back of the opening kickoff our leading scorer Max Sherman was injured and had to watch his team mates take a tough game by the score of I4 to 7. The Jets had a perfect 5 win no loss record. This was the first Akron football team taking the Little Seven Championship. Pick-I2-6. CQf5QnViIle124-20. Kingsfon-21-O.
