Again the Tigers were pounding at Trenton's door, but they were unable to crash through. Trenton held and took the ball on downs. The fourth quarter was hard work with the defense of both teams holding up well. The game ended without a score with the spectators having seen a battle that will be remembered through the years as being one of the hardest fought contests played on Trenton's gridiron. In checking statistics after this game, we discovered that Mar- celine was unscored on in 20 quarters of play. CHILLICOTHE I The Tigers were hosts to the Chillicothe Hornets in the first annual homecoming game. Celebrating the fact. in spite of a slip- pery, muddy field, Marceline continued up the road of victory. The first quarter was uneventful because the two teams found the footing unstable and so were sticking strictly to line bucks. Late in the second quarter Stephenson. on a quarterback sneak, found a hole and ran fifty-three yards for a score. but it was called back because of a clipping penalty. This fired up the Tigers and with less than a minute and a half left. the Tigers completed two passes both from Stephenson to Parkey for a touchdown. The half ended as the touchdown was made. A pass for the extra point was no good. At halftime the score stood 6 to 0 Marceline. The third quarter found Belt catching a short jump pass from Stephenson for a touchdown to cap a long drive from deep within Tiger territory. In the fourth quarter with the help of two penalties. Chill- icothe scored on a short end run. A fake kick and plunge netted them the extra point. So Marcelines unscored on streak came to an end at twenty-three quarters. The Tigers were undismayed and proved it by storming back. After the kickoff the Tigers rolled for two first downs: then Stephenson sliced off tackle. reversed his field and behind beautiful blocking went for fifty yards for the last score of the game. A kick from placement for the extra point was no good. The game ended with a decisive Tiger victory of 19 to 7. 66
