Ho sraduatea Irom the O. A. C. last year. , I It III GRIDIRON FIGHT Record Breaking Crowd Attends Armistice Day Game-at New port and Witnesses Excellent Exxhibition; Score 25 to 12- One of the most attractice features of the Armistice celebration held at Newport last Saturday, November li, was the football game between the high school boys of that city and the high school lads of Toledo. The game ended with a score of 25 to 12 with the county seat boys on the short end. However, those who attended the Fume from Toledo, wore more than pleased with the fighting sp'rlt de lmimiuated by the locel lads. Though outweighed by their husky opponent the county Beaters battled ev?ry play to a standstill. Clare Altree, Bustei Graham, Clearenre Graham and Geo. Ilcrron were the outstanding f.tar player3 on the looal team. Altree, I'm! back, played an excellent defensive game and broli"; up ninnv a daugenus attack of the opponents. Houser and G Wade are also deserving of speciu; mention for their work in receiving forward passes. Arthur Wade has a head on him "like a brick" and he uses it when managing his team n the field. In the first quarter Altree made an excellent play when the ball was in a dangerous position and it Beemed that Newport was to score a touchdown but Altree, quick to take advantage of the situation, secured the ball and converted the threatened touchdown for Newport into a touch back for his team. , Toled managed to put the ball over for two touchdowns which was ac complished mainly by the-use of the forward pass and swift end running, while Newport was able to put over four touchdowns, the result of con tinuous line-bucking, the Newporters taking advantage of their superior weight. "We have no alibi to offer for the defeat, stated Coach Herbert Shawe, "Our boys are coming to the front nob ly. We were simply outplayed at New port Saturday." The next game will be played at To ledo on Thursday, November 1 80, Thanksgiving day. Toledo's. line,-up i Wad ' as'- follows: Dickson, i center; Anderson, Tight guard; John' Her, 'left guard; R.
