S7 ff S ga ATHLETICS ,, L Football Games. Our first football game of the 1924 season was played at home with Western Reserve Academy on October 10. We had only about ten days' practice but we won, 21-0. Western Reserve had a good team but they could not make any plays work. The Weather was fineg this gave us an abundance of pep. On October 18 we traveled to Boardman High for our second game. Their field had just been plowed and harrowed and consequently was soft. The weather was exceedingly warm and the field was very dusty. We lost 13-0. After the game the Boardman fans congratulated us on our good sportsmanshipg also in our being able to hold Boardman to 13 points, as generally they won by a score of about 50 or 60 to 0. Two forward passes netted them their score. TROLLEY LEAGUE Our first Trolley League game was played at Cuyahoga Falls, October 25. Falls Hi had the best team in the Trolley League and therefore took our scalp by a 32-0 score. They seemed in perfect condition and played so. Our team easily became convinced that they could not Win. This was a drawback as it prohibited playing with pep. Joe seemed the only one to do the playing for us, making many of our gains and most of the tackles. Our second game at home and our second Trolley League game was versus Ken- more, November l. The game attracted a large crowd. Joe did not start the game. because Coach Harsh said we were depending upon him too much. This put Martin in Joe's position. After the k.ck-off we netted some forty yards by downs and a punt, then Kenmore gained possession of the ball. At this point Joe's absence was felt, Kenmore making several first downs. When they were fifteen yards from our goal Joe was put in. From then on the game was 50-50. ln the third quarter Ken- more started passing. lt was their last down and about thirty yards from our goal when both teams lined up. We were expecting a buck or end run, as it was too close to punt and too risky to pass, but a pass was attempted and it succeeded. Puggy 51
