Milan Slovak accounted for Cald
well’s final touchdown in the third
quarter, after the stubborn Tom
cats had held off the Redskins for
most of the period. A Glouster punt
was blocked and recovered by Cald
well on the Glouster 15 to set the
stage. Tilton and Slovak were both
piled up at the scrimmage line for
no gain, but Glouster was penalized
five yards for offsides putting the
ball on the 10. Potts picked up a
yard and Tilton two with fouith
down coming up, but this time
Caldwell was offsides setting the
ball back to the 13. Slovak then cir
cled left end to put Caldwell ahead
26-0. Ferguson’s kick was again
blocked.
The roof literally fell in on Cald
well’s head in the final quarter, af
ter the Redskins had kept Glouster
beyond the 40-yard line for three
periods. Glen Potts broke up the
first Tomcat threat when he inter
cepted a pass on the Caldwell 23,
but Glouster broke through and
blocked Tilton's punt on the Cald
well 14 for their first break. Byers
moved it to the one-yard line on
two plays and then circled right
end for a touchdown making the
score 26-6. Byers passed to Angle
for the point and the score read
26-7.
A fumble by Bernard Lon was
recovered by Glouster on the Cald
well 45 to start the Tomcats on
their way again. Byers threw one
pass for 18 yards and another to
Viney good for 27 yards and the
second score. Not content with this,
Byers tossed a short pass to Moody
for the point and Glouster trailed
^Glouster got another break a few
minutes later when Jack Fowler
took the kickoff on the Caldwell
eight with his knee touching the
ground. The officials ruled the ball
down at that spot, which was cor
rect Tilton kicked out to the Red
skin 30 with the ball returned to
the 25. Byers connected with a pass
to Jenkins to put the ball on the
one-yard line from where Cotter
hit the line for the touchdown. An
attempted pass for the point was
knocked down by Ben Craft paving
the final score 26-20. The
quarter nightmare was over and
Caldwell emerged the victor to re
tain their tie for first place with
New Lex.
In other league games, Crooks
ville upset Philo 13-12, Roseville
got tuned up for Caldwell by troun
cing McConnelsville 19-0, and New
Lex defeated Oak Hill 32-14 in a
non-league contest.

To Remain In League Race
The Redskins climbed back into
a tie with New Lexington for first
place in the Muskingum Valley
League last Thursday night when
they edged out the Glouster Tom
cats 26-20. The game was played at
Glouster before a capacity crowd
including many from Caldwell.
Caldwell started out like a whirl
wind scoring a touchdown in the
first quarter, two in the second, and
one in the third, but they slumped
cff in the final period while the
Tomcats punched over three scores
to come close to tying up the game.
Glouster’s Captain Byers sparked
this fourth quarter rally with his
passing and running.
Whitey Frederickson registered
Caldwell’s first touchdown, sneak
ing through the line from one yard
cut. The Redskins had marched 49

more yards moving the ball to the
10, Slovak picked up three to the
seven, and then Tilton advanced to
the one from which spot Frederick
son scored. Ferguson’s kick for the
point was good despite the fact that
Glouster was offsides and Caldwell
led 7-0.
Tuffy Tilton tallied twice in the
second quarter, the first climaxing
a 68 yard drive and the second a 72

on their own 32 to start the drive,
Slovak on a reverse went for eight
yards and Tilton skirted right end

and Slovak added five yards and
Tilton ripped off 20 more to put the
ball on the 11. from w’hich point

point for a 14-0 lead.
The Redskins scored the next
time they got possession of the ball,
moving 72 yards on sheer power
plays, with Tilton carrying the ball
over from the 10. Ferguson’s kick

ROSEVILLE RAMBLERS, holding
the key to Caldwell’s championship
hopes in the league, come to town
on Thursday evening for a night
game with the Redskins beginning
at 7:30. The ramblers have lost only
two games this year, to New Lex
27-0 and New Concord 7-0, while
winning over Dresden 19-7, Philo
14-6, Crooksville 12-0, and McCon
nelsville 19-0. Roseville has a tough
team consisting of seven seniors
with a line averaging 152 pounds
per man and the backfield 150
pounds.. The Redskins must play
heads-up ball all the way, not just
the first three quarters if they are
to remain in the running for the
league lead. Incidently, all you fans,
this is the last night game of the
year and next to the last game, so
let’s turn out in a body and cheer
for Caldwell. Coach Ramsey has
brought these boys a long way
since the opening of the season and
they need us to get behind them
now as the season rushes to a close.
Make it a point to be there for the
kickoff Thursday night, don’t just
come if there’s nothing else on. You
can do other things when the foot
ball season is over.
BACKFIELD STATISTICS for the
Glouster game are as follows:
TCB Avg.
Tilton 22 152 22 5.9
Potts 8 46 0 5.7
Slovak 9 37 0 4.1
Itiski 3 11 4 2.3
Frederickson 4 9 0 2.2
GLOUSTER’S UNIFORMS being
exactly like Caldwell’s, scarlet and
gray, the Tomcats had to borrow
jerseys of blue and white from a
nearby school, Jacksonville-Trim
ble. Consequently, numbers did not
appear on the programs.
FERGY had an unusual experience
with his first two placements. Both
were fumbled on the pass from cen
ter, yet both were kicked squarely
through the uprights, and on both
occasions, Glouster was offsides,
with the penalty refused, naturally,
both times.
THE GLOUSTER STADIUM is an
ideal pattern for Caldwell and other
league schools. Built by the WPA
back around 1938-40, it holds about
1200 persons, has dressing rooms
and rest rooms underneath, and af
fords a clear view of the field for
all spectators.
IT WAS DAD’S DAY for the Tom
cats, with all fathers of the boys on
the football team being honored at
the halftime. The celebration was
marred for Glouster by losing to
the Redskins, just as Philo’s home
coming was dampened by a 13-12
loss to Crooksville.
BOTH BANDS performed at the
half, Caldwell presenting their
“swing show”, and Glouster putting
on some special music for the oc
casion. Like the teams, both bands
wore identical colors, but that is as
far as it went.
CHAUNCEY-DOVER BAND, al
though not in uniform, were pres
ent at the game to see the Caldwell
band perform. You will remember
that they attended band camp here
u ith Caldwell last summer and
drilled with our band. When Cald
well started to play at the half,
several Glouster women were heard
to say: “They must have copied off
Chauncey.” Little did they know!
A GOOD FORM is better than a
good face, and good manners better
than a good form.
TOTAL NUMBER of points in the
Glouster game was the highest of
any league game this season with
46 points racked up in the free
scoring contest. This tops New
Lex’s victory over Glouster last
week 40-0.
GLOUSTER has lost six consecu
tive games, but the astonishing
thing about these losses is the fact
that four of them were by the slim
margin of one touchdown.
GLOUSTER’S backfield averaged
146 pounds per man compared to
Caldwell’s 132 while the Redskin
line averaged 174 pounds compared
to the Tomcat’s 150. It is now quite
obvious that Caldwell has the
lightest backfield in the league, a
factor that doesn’t seem to hold
them back at all.
JOHN KIRCHNER, with a carload
of players, had two flat tires on the
way, and finally ended up with
“Doc” McGregor’s spare wheel and
tire.
ACQUAINTANCES were renewed
by some former Caldwell stars with
Glouster athletes of a few years
ago. One of the Tomcat coaches is
Ralph Darling who played on the
Glouster teams of 1935-36 when
Caldwell and Glouster were fight-

of the linesmen was Dick Guinther,
who played on the same team with
Darling.
CALDWELL FANS had" another of
those fourth quarter nightmares
that seemed like it might be a re
petition of the Parkersburg game.
The Redskins started out the season
with a defensive team second to
none in the league, but in their last
two games have let down in the
last period to allow 40 points in two
games. All this after holding their
opponents to two touchdowns in the
first five games. Of course, though,
we realize most of these points were
scored while giving the subs some
valuable experience.

Farmers Warned Against
Corn Picker Accidents
The hum of tractors and corn
pickers in the fields these days
bring a note of warning to farmers
using the equipment, according to
Harry M. Pontious, safety director
of the Ohio Farm Bureau, Colum
bus. He listed precautions which, he
said, could radically reduce the loss
of lives and various injuries exper
ienced each year.
With the coming of cold weather,
heavy clothing and the wearing of
gloves with extra thumbs, long
overcoats unbuttoned, and loose
boot strings make the operation
corn pickers extra hazardous, he
said. Loose clothing often catches
in moving parts and pulls the oper
ators hand, leg or entire body into
the machine. Safety shields on the
power take-off shaft and other
moving parts should be kept in
place.
There is the temptation, Pontious
added, to work on the machinery
while it is in operation. If stalks
must be removed from the snapping
lolls, stop the picker. Never leave
the tractor seat with the power
shaft in motion. Likewise the ma
chine should be stopped before
making adjustments on chains and
gears.
Also dangerous are the ear corn
elevators with moving parts on
which clothing may easily be
caught. Pontious urges framers
never to take chances around dan
gerous equipment.
