Q PEARSON SMITH nf' Lakewood vs. Lorain, October 11, 1930: The Purple and Gold could not down that old j inx which has tagged them for four successive football seasons. Teck- myer, at left end, was usually the one to get in and get the man carrying the ball for the Lorain aggregation. Hinz could not play his best because his shoulder had been injured in the Youngstown game, but part of every tackle found him in it. Weissinger made several needed gains via the air, in the fourth quarter, but the passes were always intercepted when the line reached the opponents' 30-yard stripe, and Lorain once more held the ball. Rocky River vs. Lakewood, October 18, 1930: It turned out to be entirely a one-sided game in which the locals defeated the Rivermen with a score of 47-0. Instead of using the first team, Coach Ross used the second and the third teams. Harold Weissinger was the high scorer when he went over the opposing stripe for 24 points. Tom Ward, the 140-pound Liffiton replacement, made long advances through the line, which were the main reasons for the Lakewood tally being raised in the first two minutes of play. Grossman made one goal for the home team when he crossed the River stripe after a 12-yard run. Laundy was the first Purple man to go over for a touchdown and six points. wif 1 'fc L.

I 9. I IFFITOX Central vs. Lakewood, September 20, 1930: Considering that Lakewood was beginning the season with an inexperienced line, they showed that they had real fight in their argument with Central, holding the invaders to a 6-6 tie. During the initial stanza the Purple drove the sphere to the opponents' three-yard lineg Liffiton pushed through the line for the score, Laundy kicked for the point, but it was not good, and the tally stood 6-0 in favor of the Lakewood eleven. Rose of Central tied the score in the next period by completing a pass and going over with the ball. The Klein tribe starred for the visitors. Akron North vs. Lakewood, September 27, 1930: In the first quarter Blanke ripped off 30 yards, making the longest solo run in the game. Liffiton toted the score over and caught a pass for the extra point. Weissinger, at quarter for Laundy, carried a pass for 15 yards when he was downed. Just as the half ended, Don Pomeroy made the tackle that was one of the high lights of the first half of this big push. Ramsay threatened the Black and Gold goal a third time when he blocked a punt on the 20-yard line. Lake- wood took the ball over three times to make the marker 18-0 plus one point after touchdown for 19-0 in their favor. TECKMEYER Page 112 -'J WARD KEMPER

.,. I. ,,. re RAMSAY Elyria vs. Lakewood, November 1, 1930: Lakewood fought their way through a 7-0 Elyria tussle. The Purple outcharged the Elyria men on every play. The tally was made by Liiiiton in the third stanza, and Laundy kicked the extra point, making the score 7-0. Carl Smith broke through the visitors' line in the third and started the locals' rally. Carl played his best game in the Elyria match. Don Pearson was part of almost every play in which Lake- wood was on the defensive. Ramsay, who took Berry's place at center, led a lively tackling attack, which did much to help in the win. Berry, left guard, was a main factor. Heights vs. Lakewood, November 8, 1930: Although the home battlers were trounced by the Heightsmen, they made the visitors know that they had been in a battle after the final gun. The first tally for the opponents was raised in the second quarter after the Purple fumbled and a Heights player galloped 30 yards to cross the line. The Lakewood linemen who stood out the most were Pearson and Teckmyer. Teckmyer played against one of this year's all-scholastic ends and kept him employed. Blanke made the largest gains for the Purple eleven. White replaced Blanke during the second period, playing for the first time this season.
