THE STATPSMAN Summary 6 Scores Saturday, November 16, when State dropped its traditional game with Roosevelt, we closed one of the most disastrous sea- sons in the history of the school. Our record for 1935 stands one victory against six defeats. Bath High School, a Summit county team, was the only school which we are able to brush a- sideg while we absorbed lickings at the hands of all our Western Reserve league opponents and YXf'estern Reserve academy team from Hudson. 1 Our first encounter was with Akron Ellet, a league opponent. We soon found that a certain fullback was far too much for us and lack Gannon sank us 38-6. Our only score. came in the last period when Burrell barrelled across from the four yard line. Next came one of the very sorest spots on our record, NVadsf worth. We found them to have a hard running attack which was practically unbetable, and we took a 53 - O trouncing, one of the highest scores ever rolled up against a Blue and White Icztm. V 1 - 'lhen came one of the big games, that with Ravenna. After taking two severe lickings our boys never quit. They fought with all they had and became the Hrst team to score ,upon the chamf pions of 1935. We lost 32-7. Xllfiland picked up a State fumble and scampered 40 yards to the goal for the State points, Seemingly inspired by the Ravenna score we went to Hudson the following week and turned in our best performance of the season. Against the older and experienced W. R. academy team we showed a surprisingly good passing attack .and on four occa- sions we drove within their 15 yard stripe but lacked the punch to score. 'The final tally was 216 - O against us. 1 S With things looking rosy for Staters in the next few weeks, we went into a sudden tailspin and followed our best showing with our worst. Orrville came here and took us to camp by the merry tune of .8 - 7. Coyer and Bartschy ran our team to death to score an easy victory. Again State's score came theqlast minutes of play when Wiland romped 60 yards for our touchdown. Our last and final game was one more triumph for our trad- itional rivals, the Roosevelt Rough Riders. Although we had e- leven fighting men on the field all the time, Roosevelt scored five touchdowns and one safety to drub us 33 - O. This marked the sixth consecutive game that State had lost to our City Rivals. PAGE 67
