Redskins Defeat
Glouster By 14-8
After spotting Glouster an 8-0 lead early in the third quarter,
the Redskins rallied to punch over a pair of touchdowns and defeat
the Tomcats 14-8 in another closely-contested MVL game. The Cald
well gridiron was slippery from a late afternoon rain and partly ob
scured by fog, but these two evenly-matched teams put on a thrilling
show for the fans that left the outcome in doubt until the final
minute.
Glouster had the edge in first
downs 16-12 but Caldwell took
honors in rushing yardage 211
209. The Tomcats completed six
out of 10 passes for 86 yards
compared to the Redskins' three
out of eight for 28 yards. Cald
well was penalized twice for 20
yards while the Tomcats played
the entire game without a pen
alty.
Actually it was the defensive
play of Coach Jim Smoot's sur
prising Redskins that saved the
day as they recovered three
fumbles and intercepted a goal
line pass in the second half to
break up threats. The Caldwell
line also held on the one-foot
line after pass interference was
called at that spot on the final
play of the first half.
Caldwell's season record now
stands at five wins, one loss and
one tie with two tough games
remaining Crooksville away
and McConnelsville at home
Glouster is 2-4-1 for the year.
First Quarter
The Redskins looked good on
their first series of plays march
ing 63 yards on 12 plays before
losing the ball on a fumble on
Glouster's nine-yard line. Dave
Wikander returned the opening
kick 14 yards to the Caldwell 31
to start the drive, then with full
back Dick Semple bulldozing his
way for 38 yards in six trips and
Dave Ferguson getting 17 in two
sweeps, the Redskins moved
down to the Glouster six. Semple,
who averaged yards per
carry for the evening, was jolted
hard and Doug Juniper recov
ered the ball for the Tomcats to
stop the goal-ward march.
Olouster came back with
similar 63-yard drive that bogged
down on the Caldwell 28 where
the Redskins took possession on
downs. This 15-play series for the
Tomcats saw their speedy little
halfback Bob Smith carry the
ball 11 times for 40 yards. He
ran the ball 22 times all evening
for 83 yards and an average of
3.7 per trip.
Second Quarter
With good, hard football fea
turing the game on both sides,
the teams went at it again in the
scolreless first half. Caldwell's
first chance with the ball from
their own 28 gained only six
yards in three plays and forced
a punt to the Glouster 36.
The Tomcats, who had a dis
tinct edge in the first half, moved
upfield on the running of full
back Montie Hook and halfback
Don Holbert to their own 48. A
quick pass from quarterback
Mike Carter to end Bill Bryson
in the clear gave Caldwell some
anxious moments until he drop
ped the perfect pitch.
Two plays later, Carter rolled
out on a keeper play and raced
37 yards to the Redskin 10 for
his only carry of the evening.
The Caldwell defense rose to the
occasion, however, and stopped
the visitors on the four to take
over the ball at this spot.
With all four backs taking
their turn at running, the Red
skins moved out to the 30 where
Wikander's pass to Gary Keeton
was bobbled and then intercepted
by Gerald Six, as time was
running out.
After an incomplete pass,
Smith scampered 12 yards to the
18 and Hook added four to.the
14. With time for just one more
play, Carter tossed a pass to
Eldon Grinstead which was
broken up on the goal line as
the half ended. Interference was
caljed on Dave Ferguson, how
ever, and the ball was spotted
down on the one-foot line, but
the Redskin line dug in once
more and stopped Smith cold at
the scrimmage line.
Third Quarter
The Tomcats opened the
second half by marching 63
yards to a touchdown with
Hook crashing his way into
the end zone from about a foot
out. Three completed passes
for 41 yards set up the tally
and Hook scored the extra
points on a flat pass from Car
ter to give Glouster an 8-0 lead.
The fired-up Redskins charged
right back to knot the score be
ginning with a short kick which
Tom Lewis ran back to the Cald
well 38. A 15-yard clipping pen
alty was overcome by a 13-yard
pass from Wikander to Lewis
moving the ball to the Caldwell
47.
Semple picked up 11 yawls
in two trips then Ferguson,
after reeling off 12 yards,
went 30 yards to paydirt on
the double reverse. Semple
cracked the line for the extra
points to tie the score 8-8.
On the ensuing kickoff, Glou
ster fumbled with Gary Keeton
fUid Fred Keith recovering for
Caldwell on the Tomcats 38. This
break was quickly converted into
$ touchdown as the Redskins
ttioved on down to the 15 as the
quarter ended.
Fourth Quarter
Wikander was dropped for
a one-yard loss then Ferguson
on a pitchout raced 15 yards
down the sideline before being
forced out of bounds on the
one. Semple slipped between
right tackle and guard for the
touchdown that put Caldwell
ahead 14-8, but on try for
points, Ferguson slipped and
fell before the play could move
out of the backfield.
Glouster ran one play and
fumbled with Fred Keith recov
ering on the Tomcat 38 but th
Redskins failed to capitalize on
the break and punted to the
Glouster 16.
Mixing running plays with a
23-yard pass, the visitors drove
to the Caldwell 34 where Wik
ander pounced on a fumble when
Hook was hit hard and the Red
skins tried it again.
Two plays produced only five
yards, and when a screen pass
to Chad Moore mis-fired, Cald
well punted to Smith who was
downed on the Glouster 38.
Smith was shaken up on the
play and taken out of the game
with Curtis Kittle replacing him
at halfback.
Four minutes remained to be
play as the Tomcats went all out
in a final assault on the Caldwell
goal line. Hook and Kittle reeled
off substantial gains to move to
the Redskin 22 where Carter
fired a pass to Grinstead in the
end zone. Tom Lewis saved the
day, however, by snagging the
aerial at the last second and run
ning it out to the 15.
The game ended two plays
later after Caldwell had moved
to the 39.

of w'hich only four are seniors
and a total of seven lettermen.
Among these lettermen are
Rick Murphy, Roy Hammer, Don

a 48-point total to lead the
Crooksville scoring. Among the
other backs, Murphy has 38
points, Hammer 14, Ruff eight,
Harper two, and Tom Melick

cord 25-12 before coming on to
win four in a row over Dresden
30-0, Philo 14-6, Glouster 28-8

LAST YEAR the game between
Crooksville and Caldwell was
cancelled due to sickness at the
request of local school officials.
TEN YEARS AGO Caldwell
defeated Crooksville 26-13 as
Bill Christopher scored two
touchdowns on runs of four and
five yards. Bernard Riski also
tallied on a two-yard run and
Ben Craft passed 30 yards to
Dave Shaw for another TD. Ike
Woodford plunged for one extra
point with Christopher kicking
the other. Don Morrison and
Russell scored touchdowns for
the Ceramics.
GLOUSTER SUMMARY
"Glouster showed us the best
offense we have seen all year
and for a while we were unable
to adjust for it. Our left side
showed up very well, except for
the pass defense, which looked
very poor due to not enough
work. The defensive backfield
looked very sharp with their
tackling.
"Our entire backfield looked
good and now, with Semple
across the goal line, all our
starters have scored which gives
us excellent balance.
"Glouster had some bad
breaks, but so did we. The differ
ence in the game was the fact
that we made the most of our
breaks.
"This Friday, Crooksville will
give our pass defense a terrific
test since they are excellent
passers. In Joe Morrison, Rick
Murphy and Ray Hammer, they
have three excellent passers and
•runnerg. Crooksville will xuni
from the spread, single wing
and "T" formation."

The second-year Latin students

best conducted initiation ever
held in this school.
