Redskins Handed First Loss
By Parkersburg Reserves 20-12
Caldwell’s hopes for their first
undefeated football team since way
back when most of us don’t remem
ber, were rudely shattered last
Friday night at Parkersburg as the
Little Reds scored two touchdowns
in the final quarter to win a 20-12
decision over the Redskins.
The Redskins started the game
like champions, grinding out a
touchdown in three minutes after
receiving the kickoff. The play
started on the Caldwell 23 and pro
ceeded 77 yards to paydirt in the
following manner Tilton sliced off
tackle for 20 yards on two plays
and then Slovak on a double re
verse caught Parkersburg com
pletely off guard as he rambled
43 yards to the Little Red's 14.

SOUTH ZANESVILLE high school
can now boast of a football team,
having recently acquired the foot
ball suits and equipment of St.
Thomas high school. This same
equipment was what Caldwell tried
to obtain with no results. It is to be
expected that South Zanesville,
Dresden, Chauncey-Dover and other
schools may attempt to gain en
trance into the Valley League
at the next meeting. It’s the aver
age man’s opinion that eight teams
are enough for any league, and if
more are added, the league must
split up into two separate divisions
and the winners playing each other.

for a one night stand in some city
