MASSILLON HIGH IN TOLEDO TODAY

Massillon high school, which plays Toledo Scott high school this afternoon at Toledo, promises to bring back the Scott scalp. The lifting of the flu ban in Toledo permitted Coach Jack Snavely to take on a team which is known as the strongest aggregation in the northwest conference.

The Toledo Scott team holds our Massillon boys in high esteem for clean playing and sportsmanship and arrangements are being made now to have the Toledo aggregation visit Massillon next fall. The words of praise coming from the Toledo man are greatly appreciated by local boys when he continued by saying:

“Scott started with a rush and ran up 27 points, but in the after period the visitors braced and held Dwyer’s (Scott coach) team well, at times outplaying it. The game proved Scott had a real football team which under the circumstances played remarkable football. The eleven is splendidly drilled. Undoubtedly Saturday’s contest will prove of value in shaking down the team.”
