The Hrst half of the game, the Cardinals pushed across a touch' down. They returned in the second half to hold Maumee scoreless and to make five more touchdowns for themselves. Good blocking on the part of the linemen helped very much in winning this game. WHITMER Point Place chalked up their third league victory in order, when they defeated the determined Whitmer team on Whitmer's home field by the score of 28 to 20. At the end of the second half the score was seven all. The teams returned to Gght for the game with more determination than before. The Pointers made three more touchdowns while Whitmer only made two. Overfconfidence almost lost the game for the Cardinals. PERRYSBURG In their second home league game, the Cardinals defeated the Perrys' burg Yellow Jackets. The Cardinals completely outfclassed the lighter Yellow jackets in every maneuver. The Pointers had their second team in the game during the last quarter. The plucky Perrysburg squad kept up their fight until the game was over. The Cardinals had possession of the ball during the game and Perrysburg did not threaten to score once. The final 'score was Point Place 59-Perrysburg O. ROSSFORD With the championship of the Maumee Valley League at stake, the Cardinals journeyed to the Rossford gridiron to play the Bull Dogs. Both teams were runnersfup for the championship, neither having been defeated by any other of the league teams. The Bull Dogs scored in the beginning of the game and once in the last quarter. Rossford had two lucky breaks and took advantage of both and made a touchdown each time. Point Place scored on a safety after a Rossford punt was blocked and a Rossford player fell on it over the goal line. The nrst half of the game was all Rossford's, the second half went to Point Place. The final score was Rossford 13-Point Place 2. The Rossford game was the last game of the season and the last game of high school football for many of the players. They are Howard Tassell, Dalton Buckley, Malcolm Clevenger, Harold Delmotte, Ellsworth Mullins, Fred Vollmar, Walter Weithaus, John Van Buren, and Jud Gaylord. To thosewho will play football after graduation, I propose a toast and wish you the best of luck. To those who will 611 our places next year, I wish a successful season and good fortune.
