THE SOHIAN iavsgow - X,- S V . Faatbali :gi 1 39.1 0 if ' ii a 7 , J' SEX REVIEW' OF FOOTBALL SEASON FOR 19:29 The football season of 1929 can hardly be called a joyous -one from the standpoint of games won, butl Coach Wargo, who was here at South for his nrst year, did well with the boys and made a lighting team out of them. The crowds followed South despite its losses. The nrst game was with Cleveland Heights at League Park, where South played most of its home games. XVe were out to average the defeat they had handed us last year, but after outplaying them for three-quarters, they scored a lone touchdown to beat us T-0. Then came a so-called easy game that wasn't so easy. lt was the game with Kent Roosevelt at Kent. Those of you who were there can remember how our team ran for six touchdowns and only 2 counted, because the rest were called back. We won 12-0. Then we met a real test in Canton Mcliinley, and there is no other out-of-town team we would rather have beaten than Canton. They came here primed to beat us badly: they won, but they had a hard time, and everybody knows we played them off their feet. Score 14-O, Next we went to Wooster, where we were downed 13-T. On a tine warm day we went to Massillon. .VX large crowd was there to back the team, undiscouraged because South had been losing. Right at the start Massillon marched for a touchdown: there Red Hickman came into prominence. for he scooped up a fumble and ran T0 yards for a touchdown. Hut Massillon later marched to our 30 yard line, and from there kicked a placement that hit the bar and went over. XN'e lost again, 10-6. Then began the games that counted in the city series. Our first game was with Central. The team, after being behind 13 points at the half, came back. scored 12 points, and was ready for another touchdown when the game ended. lYe found ourselves with a one-point loss. 13-12. East, who had beaten us out of a championship last year, came next. The lield was muddy, and the ball slippery: the game ended in a 0-0 tie. The black and gold team from North was next and they had a real team. They beat us 14-T, having made a 105-yard run for their second touchdown. Next we played Gartield. VVC led the tirst half 6-0. The second half Garfield started to pass. Ted Vargo intercepted one and ran 90 yards for a score. The score stood at. 12-0 the third quarter, then Carlield scored a touchdown, got heated to tighting pitch, and blocked Gabalaes punt. They fell on the ball over the goal line and made the kick to beat us. 13-12. The scores do not half tell the stories of the game, because we scored TG points to our op- ponents' 84, a difference of only S points. XYe won 2 games. lost T. and tied one. so we didn't look at the number of games won, we looked at the tight' those boys were putting up the whole 60 minutes of the game. page lzmzdrvd ittmzix flzrce
