Heavy Line Plunges Bring! t Victory To Local Eleven In Opener TOUCH BO WN~SCORED IN EACH PERIOD OF GAME Clayton Loses Chance to Score After Carrying Ball Half way Down the Field To Goal Line Uncorking a smashing lino attack that gained first down alter first down, a now Pleasantville High School football team ' battered its way to a 26-0 victory over Clayton High on the Floral avenue field Saturday afternoon. A colorful crowd of students and fans watched the contest. The outcome of the game showed that Coach Hedelt, working with only 15 per cent or so of veteran material, has whipped together a team that should do oven greater things than last year’s aggregation. For (lie first game of the season, the boys did remarkably well, dis playing form that usually crops out only after two or three games have been played. The Clayton boys were outweigh ed and outplayed, but not out. gam ed. They had tho stuff that makes football teams, and their big mis t'ako of the game was to attempt gains through Pleasantvillo’s stone wall line, instead of using open warfare. The local team scored a touch down in each period. Tripieiau car ried the first one over in the mid dle of tho first period, after Clay ton had lost the ball on downs and tho Pleasantville backfiekl had gone down the field in a series of devas tating line plunges. The second period was a repetition of tho first, the local boys carrying the bail lo the Clayton goal line, where tho lighter team held with miraculous spirit and arter gaining tho ball squeezed out with a touchback against them. A Pleasantville touchdown followed soon after on a downficld march, Grlscom carry ing flic ball over. * In tho third period, little Woody Hudson, who started at end and was later put, in the backfield to replace Griscom, threw a forward pass to Kinsey that resulted in an other six-pointer. Hudson, who is a freshman, showed a remarkable football head, and plowed through the line with the ball in a way that made no one sorry he had replaced the bull-like Griscom. Tripician scored tho last touchdown. In the fourth period Clayton showed a flash of what it might have done had their quarterback used the right sort or attack. A beautiful forward pass and two tricky hidden ball plays brought the bail from the center of (lie Held lo within ton yards or the goal lino within a few minutes.

Pleasantville, with its back to the grandstand, kicked out ot danger, and then proceeded to sew up the game. Griscom was a shining light in Pieasantviile's attack, as cvere Hud. son, Keller, Tripician, Fenimore and Essington. Allen, going in for Tripician later, also proved his worth. Tho team showed a weak ness in kicking, which should be ironed out soon. Its line attack worked well, and against the light team that Clayton presented there was no necessity for opening up with an aerial attack. What was shown of their open warfare was good.
