Show Cub B Team Drops One To East 19-0 Underdog, East B team, walked away with a surprise victory over the Cubs last Thursday with the final score 19-0. On the kickoff Middlemiss from South received. The first few downs South looked good, with plenty of spirit, calling their shifts out loud as they charged down the field. However East proved to have a strong defense with Wooley, right guard, breaking through the line stopping South's first quarter drive. Then starting out in the final minutes of the first quarter East opened up with off-tackle, smashes and effective pass combinations to drive the ball through an overconfident over-confident South crew. Then on a .very efficient sleeper play Roselle of East took a pass from Williams to carry the ball deep into South territory. This is how it happened. Amidst other members of the Leopard team on the sidelines, Roselle slyly removed his helmet, causing no suspicion from the Cubsters. East by no action or sound did not betray their well organized or-ganized play. And then quick as a flash, Roselle receiving the pass streaked down the sidelines. Then a few minutes later Roselle went off tackle to score standing up, making the score 6-0 at the end of the first half. For the next two quarters both teams played on equal basis. East seemingly out-fought South and with more spirit held the ball most of the time. About this time Gilbert Gil-bert sent in a practically whole new team to fight off the onrush-ing onrush-ing Leopards. In the last quarter East with a series of line smashes drove to the South 12 yard line. And then with Ward and Williams leading the play Sudbury streaked around end to score. Then South with first string men back in the game began be-gan desperate plays and long passes pas-ses to try for a South tally. However How-ever a pass from Koller was intercepted inter-cepted by Roselle of East who ran to the South 22 yard stripe. On two plays Sudbury carried the ball to the Cub 9 yard line. Then on an off-tackle smash, Ward went to the Cub end zone. Roselle received a pass for the conversion making the score 19-0 in the final quarter. With only a few minutes left in the game, East again intercepted a pass. A South penalty brought the ball dangerously close to the South line. But a few seconds later the gun went off. According to all the conditions involved, South should have won. Talking to one of the B team members the other day it was found out why we didn't. After East made their first touchdown the South' high stands quieted down. It really made the fellows feel bad. The team felt just like the whole school had let them down. |
