HJS M Dials Lehr Louqhman MANSFIELD 7-MASSILLON 33 The least we say about this affair the better. The passing combination of Slusser to Gillon spelled defeat for the Tygers. Mansfield also helped the Massillon Eleven's causes by letting them intercept iwo passes which resulted directly in scores. The lungle Cat's only touchdown came as a result of a sustained drive with a pass from Nagle to Hershey clirnaxing it. Gallagher and Lehr's work on the line was outstanding. MANSFIELD 40-HAMMOND 19 On the rebound from the last game, Mansfield scored at will against a hapless Hammond combine, ln this encounter long runs were the rule not the exception with Hershey and LeMunyon doing some fancy sprints for M.H,S. However, the Hoosiers Shimala turned in the best performance. Lehr, Gallagher and Goettle were the defensive stars. MANSFIELD 20-COLUMBUS 12 Mansfield continued their winning ways against a rather weak Capital City combine by defeating them 20 to 12, On the second play of the game Red LeMunyon got loose on a 76 yard jaunt to put Mansfield into the lead. lt vias LeMunyon who also scored the Bengals second six points on a short end run. Nagle was responsible for the third Tyger marker when he bucked through from tho 5 yard line. Schwaner kicked two of the extra points. Sc hwcmer I. Smith LeMunyon Hershey Capt. Nagle

U 32 MANSFIELD 14-AKRON WEST 0 When the curtain was rung up on the Tyger grid season of 38, the prospects were rather dismal for a success- ful season as only Dick Nagle had returned from last year's first string squad. ln their first encounter Mansfield was due to meet none other than Akron West. Early in the first period the Bengals took advantage of a Cowboy fumble and drove to the l5 yard line. There the running attack bogged down and Nagle faded back and threw a pass into the outstretched hands of lack Dugger. Schwaner's kick for the point was good. Late in the second stanza the Murphymen started a drive from deep in their own territory. Nagle added the finishing touches to this by throwing an aerial to lke Smith. Again Schwaner's attempt for the extra was good and Mansfield led l4 to O which completed the scoring for the day,

HJS E M MANSFIELD 0-SANDUSKY 45 Scoring at will Sandusky thorough- ly trounced Mansfield in their rival gridiron classic. Fleming and Bal- coni were the two burrs in the Tygers side. At halt time the Bay City led 13 to O but after the inter- mission the Streaks went tc town. Cnly once did the Bengals have the ball in enemy territory. This was the worst whipping suftered by a Murphy coached squad in many years. Murray Goettle Williams Hughes Guegold Cosentino Krupp MANSFIELD 13-SHELBY Z6 Again MCIHSHG-ld lOLlfH9YGC1 to O Y19iQThb0Ti1'1QI City or should we say village to do battle with the Shelby Whippets. At the time of this engagement Shelby's goal line had been uncrossed, Vtfhen the tray was over Mansfield had crossed it. Crossed it twice to be exact, However, lest we forget, we also have a goal line and the Whippets crossed it not two times but four which resulted in the final score of Shelby 26, Mansfield l3. The Tygers actually OUTDlCIY'Std T119 Border TOWU Uihleies but Uf1fOTTUHCIt9ly it is not the custom to award the game to the team who plays the best but to the one who scores the most, MANSFIELD 6-KENMORE 33 Again Mansfield met a Rubber City combine but this time the Tygers were on the wrong end of the score. Lloyd Miller one of the greatest backs in Akron History scored when he wanted and as he wanted. True it was the breaks that paved the way ior him. M. l-l. S, gridiron gladiators gained more ground than Kenmore did although the score does not indicate it. Four Tyger passes were intercepted and seven Bengal fumbles were re- covered by Kenmore. LeMunyon made the only Tyger touchdown on a 30 yard sweep. Sauder Gallagher White Weaver M. Smith
