25-yard runs, the second, on a 30-yard pass from Geren to Strite. The Rawson eleven tightened down on Mt. Cory and held us until the end of the game, while they scored a touchdown, making the final score 12-6. MT. BLANCHARD The Cory eleven was still feeling high and mighty over the Rawson victory and did not play a very good brand of ball against Blanchard's small team. At the half the score was 6-6. The second half was nearly the same although the Cory eleven made a 50-yard march to score a 13-6 victory. ARCADIA The Arcadia-Mt. Cory game was the turning point in the league standing. Arcadia, Mt. Cory and Arlington were all tied for first place in the league with four victories and one deadlock. A large crowd saw the two evenly matched teams clash. Mt. Cory's eleven took the lead in the first quarter on a 25-yard run by King. It looked like Cory's game until the final period when Arcadia scored on a pass to banish our hopes for a victory. It made Arcadia and Mt. Cory tied for second place with Arlington leading the league. The score was 6-6. VANLUE Vanlue proved to be our easiest task being humbled 41 to 0. ADA We went to Ada where we defeated them 24-0. Here we enjoyed a big supper furnished by the A. A. When we got home we received the good news that Arcadia had defeated Arlington to put us in first place, tied with Arcadia. MCCOMB The McComb-Mt. Cory game was the last this season for both teams, and they both played a sparkling game of ball. In the first two minutes of play McComb carried the ball to Cory's ten yard line, where Mt. Cory took possession of the ball and in a series of plays returned it for a touchdown with Coleman going over. Two more six pointers were scored against McComb by Guin and King to put Cory in the lead 19-0. But in the last half of the game a muffled punt allowed McComb to score, making the score at the end of the game 19-6.

Cory High's 1934 football squad turned out for practice August 20, under the coaching of Mr. Hutton, former Findlay College athlete. The squad practiced every day, although, many of the players did not report daily until school started September 4. LEIPSIC A squad of 24 players traveled through a down-pour of rain to Leipsic, Mr. Hutton's home town. The field was very wet and slippery making passing and end runs nearly impossible. But Cory's backfield made large gains through holes made by the line. The touchdowns gave the victory to Mt. Cory 12-0. ARLINGTON Mt. Cory opened the conference with Arlington, one of the strongest teams in the conference, who was predicted to take the Little Nine title of 1934 and was given the edge to win over Cory's eleven. Mt. Cory's offensive thrust was weak against Arlington and they were held scoreless. This was the only game all season Mt. Cory lacked the power to score. Several times Arlington advanced the ball to Cory's 20 yard line, but were thrown back by a strong Cory line. The game ended 0-0. VANBUREN Mt. Cory played their first home game with VanBuren. This was VanBuren's first conference game and they were out to keep their standing untarnished. Cory's offensive power had improved from last week. VanBuren's eleven was unable to turn back the green and white eleven's goalward marches. Geren, Coleman and Powell each scored to roll up 21 points for us. Although VanBuren showed a lot of power, the game ended 21-0. LIBERTY At Liberty a large crowd gathered to witness another victory for the green and white. After a slow start Mt. Cory pushed over three touchdowns and gave the second team a chance to play. The green and white's eleven played a fine brand of ball, led by the plunging of Strite and Geren. RAWSON Mt. Cory was quite sure of themselves after a fast start scoring two touchdowns in less than five minutes. The first was made by Coleman on a line plunge, after two .lil-11 ..l- -1 - i..l.l-1

The end of the first week the squad was cut, and practice began in earnest. The season opened November 23. We won from St. Gerard after a slow start, 27 to 16. On November 28,we played two games. We won the first game 28 to 22 from Findlay U. P. Church, and the second from Findlay Vocational school 29 to 15. We opened our league play Dcember 7 with Arlington overwhelming us on our own floor 40 to 21. In this game Mr. Hutton found some real material, even at the hands of defeat. On December 8 we journeyed to Pandora where we met defeat at the hands of their strong team. The score was 31 to 22. After practicing his new found players together, Mr. Hutton had a fine team. We went to VanBuren December 14 and beat them 35 to 20. Liberty came over December 21 and met defeat at the hands of our much im- proved team 33 to 21. We played the Alumni January 4 and were beat after playing a close game all the way. The score was 35 to 31. On January 5 we went to Alger where we put on a thrilling exhibition for four quarters only to lose in the final period 31 to 28. Our old-time rivals were our next foe on January 11. Rawson was forced to exhibit fine basketball especially in the last quarter when Cory started making long shots, in order to win 33 to 28. We went to Mt. Blanchard on January 18 where we defeated them 27 to 18. Our next game, Arcadia on January 25, was an important game for if we lost we would go down another notch in the league. The team played an excellent game to tie the score when the final whistle blew. We won 25 to 30 in two overtime periods. What a thriller for the crowd. At Vanlue the entire squad had a chance to share our victory 34 to 25. We went to Lima on February 2, to return their game. It was close all the way but we came out on top winning 25 to 23. Pandora came over on February 9 with the intentions of beating us again. They were ahead all the way until King and Strite made long shots bringing us within one point and 40 seconds yet to play. In those last fatal moments Hartman made a basket making the score 35 to 34. We went to McComb February 15 to decide which would be in second place. McComb was far in the lead until King and Strite started making long shots and Bowersox began playing the sterling ball that he can. When the whistle blew, the score books registered a 43 to 41 victory for us. We drew Rawson in the tournament on February 23. After playing a close game all the way, Rawson forged to the front to win 20 to 17. We finished second in the league, won nine games and lost five games during the season. Although we will miss our senior players we have others to replace them.
