Visitors Played Off Their Feet

In a very lop-sided game Massillon high snowed Mansfield high under Saturday afternoon on the high school grounds by a score of 87 to 0. This score is probably the largest ever piled up by Massillon high.

Mansfield was outclassed in all departments and but twice made the required yards and this was at the beginning of the third quarter, when it surprised everybody, including itself, by a spurt. Massillon showed much improvement in working the forward pass and used it time and again for long gains and twice Johns received forwards and crossed the line for touchdowns. The Massillon backfield plowed through the opposing line at will and encircled the ends for big gains, while on the other hand the visiting backs found a stone wall defense when they struck the local line.

The entire Massillon team put up a good game. With Limbach, Smith and Johns on the ends the wings were guarded well and not a runner got past them. Wells and Becker played good, steady games at tackle and were on the job all the time. Baer and Theis made their opposing guards feel uncomfortable and the way they ripped up the opposing line was a caution. Rider at center, played his usual good game being here and there and everywhere when needed. Hollinger handled the quarterback position in good shape and ran the team well besides returning punts from 20 to 30 yards. Captain Miller was at his best Saturday. The opposing players could not stop him and he was good at any time for a gain of almost any distances. Rudy, the husky plunging half, tore holes in the opposing lines big enough for a water wagon to go through and also pulled off some long end runs. Kester, the big fullback, was always good for a gain and played in his regular old time form.
