MT. CARMEL TWP. CRIDDERS Due to the epidemic of infantile paraylsis, most high school teams started to play football later than usual. We had all but four games cut from our schedule. For our first game we motored to Ashland to play. In the first period Shuda plunged over from the 1-yard line for a touchdown and Horoschak squirmed and drove his way for Township's other touchdown. FINAL Scoiusz Mt. Carmel Township I2 Ashland o Our next game was with Blythe Township at home. In the opening minutes Fabrizio ran the ball I5 yards and scored. The extra point wasn't made. Blythe, coming back strong, got the ball and scored but also did not make the extra point, thus making the score deadlocked as the half ended. In the third period a blocked punt proved to be costly. The ball rolled back to our Ifyard line where Fabrizio picked it up and was driven back over the goalfline for a safety for Blythe. In the fourth period Gomer Irwin, varsity quarter' back for our team, was carried off the field because of a torn ligament in the knee. It was a hard blow to the squad when they found out that he would be disabled for the season. FINAL Sconnr Blythe 8 Mt. Carmel Township 6 On Armistice Day we went away from home to play Coal Township. For three quarf ters the ball went back and forth over the Held but no team scored. In the fourth quarter Coal Township intercepted a pass and with three running plays advanced the ball to the ifyard line. Mt.
