Football Review Coach Carl F. Schroeder had a light but fast team this year and the squad of 1934 was the best material and strongest team that N. H. S. has produced since 1929. Through the untiring efforts of the coach and the fighting spirit of the boys, much was accomplshed. flic plays he gave them were very effective in outsmarting the skill of their opponents. Sacrificing luxuries and good times were the hardest part of the season’s work, but the boys knew Coach Schroeder was giving them beneficial advice and they observed these things. Due to the respect for the coach, the boys avoided breaking training rules, thus the season was the most successful one that he has directed here. The football squad appreciates all that has been done for the pi ogress of the team and hope the future team much success. Coach Schroeder has been the first Newcomerstown coach to produce All-County material. Gadd, McCall, and Dansby were honored with All-County positions. Coker and W. Couts received Honorable Mention. The Seniors hope the coach much success in his future coac hing career. FOOTBALL GAMES The Newcomerstown Trojans lost the season’s opener at Dover. The score was 26-0 but docs not indicate the playing of the Trojans. Dover outweighed them but didn’t outplay them. Jones’ punting was the feature of that game. With renewed strength the Trojans beat Caldwell a week later 18-6. Neff sparkled with two long runs which resulted in two touchdowns. Couts scored also on a line plunge. The blocking and tackling that the Trojans performed kept Caldwell from threatening to score more than once. The Trojans treked to Mt. Vernon only to return with a 13-0 defeat. The Yellow Jackets were more powerful but the Trojans reached the ten yard line twice. Scoring power was all that was lacking. The Trojans were masters of the field wlie.n they faced the green and white team from Millersburg. Timely passing and dynamic plunging were the features of the game. Buster Coker shocked the fans with a 32 yd. spurt around his own right end. Couts and Coker accounted for the two touchdowns and McCall added the extra points from placement. Score 14-0. The team went to Dennison and fought them off their feet the first half until they got to the Dennison one yard line where they fumbled. From then on the tide turned and Dennison won 24-0. Homecoming Day!! The Trojans faced an undefeated team when they played Carrolton. Neff, a peetfoot half back, intercepted a pass and ran for 65 yards and a touchdown, Gadd’s kick from placement failed. Not once did the Trojans allow Carrolton to threaten their gbal line, the game was played in a sea of mud. Score 6-0. Inspired by the former victory, the Trojans defeated Uhrichsville 7-6. Uhrichsville scored a touchdown in the first quarter but the try for point faled. The Trojans began their march in the third quarter to the 53 yard line. From there Coker broke through tackle for 47 yards and a touchdown. McCall’s kick from placement won the game. This was the first game won on foreign soil since 1929. The Trojans won their nert game from New Concord. Jones recovered a blocked punt for a Safety in the first quarter for the half to end 2-0. The Schroedermcn started the third quarter with determination. Derr blocked a punt and McCall picked it out of the air and raced 40 yds. for a touchdown. He converted the extra point. Gadd recovered a fumble for a touchdown and Neff made one of his sensational runs which ended with a touchdown. McCall’s try for point was good. Score 22-0. The fighting Trojans drew the curtains on their gridiron warfare when they lost to a much heavier Navarre eleven, 12-0.
