Opening the season with a 64-0 blasting of Cleveland Cathedral Latin, the Tigers under Coach Paul Brown have marched straight thru their third straight undefeated year. They added 10 more consecutive victories to.

boost the total to 33 in a row. The 10 triumphs during which 1 the Tigers averaged more than 47 points a game for a total of 477 giv-es Massillon undisputed championship in Ohio. There are 23 other unbeaten elevens in the state --live less than a year ago--but none can compare to matchless Massillon. Jn the final game of the season against their most formidable opponent and ancient rival, Canton McKinley, Saturday, the Tigers rang up a 34 to 6 triumph before a capacity crowd of 22,000 at Massillon. Previously unscored upon, the Tigers were forced to yield to McKinley's big Negro star, Athie Garrison, who ran 33 yards for the lone Canton touchdown.

He boosted his scoring total to 152 points and second place in the state. Duane Traucht, of Arlington, was held scoreless as Coach Howard Yawberg's unbeaten Mt. Blanchard team finished a perfect season with a win over Arlington, but Traucht still tops the high scorers with 176 points. To Bill Dorsey, youthful Powhatan Point mentor, goes the scholastic "coach of the week" nomination because in his first year as coach of the Ohio rivei team he has produced one of the two undefeated, untied and unscored upon teams in Ohio. Sparked by Adam Tolzda with a total of 114 points, Powhatan defeated Yorkville for a ninth straight victory and 194 points for the year.

Among the other high scorers Dick Zubel, of Columbus St. Charles, finished the season with 138 points, a new all-time record for the Columbus area. Willard Colby, Xenia OSSO star, has a total of 143 points.

Bobbin I TM ere are individual Friday, West Jefferson, finished with 105. Horace i 11 Massillon's greatest scoring star, scored two touchdowns in the McKinley game boosting his total to 108 points.

On the undefeated list just four teams have final games to play this week all on Thanksgiving day. If Cleveland West Tech can count the strong Lakewood team a seventh victim for this year, it will be Tech's second straight unbeaten year. Tech won 20 to 6 from Cleveland John Marshall last week. Ashtabula, 31 to 0 victor over Willoughby last week, anticipates a ninth straight win and a perfect season in the annual classic with Ashtabula Harbor. Cincinnati Elder, adding a seventh victory against a single tie by beating Cincinnati Purcell, 21-6, plays Western Hills and Jackson can make it eight wins and two ties by defeating Wellston.

Sideline shots: Massillon's record is 17 points better than in 1939 and its defensive mark is sunerior by 19 points, Among the unbeaten elevens, Xenia OSSO with 306 points is the only team which comes within 100 points of the Complete 24' Hour Shop or Road Service TIRES TUBES BATTERIES BRAKES GASOLINE OILS GREASING BEAR FRONT END ALIGNING VULCANIZING WRECKING 19 Years of Successful Merchandising to the Motoring Public A. 0.

TROJANS PIN FLOOR HOPES ON FIVE VETS Newcomerstown high school will sin its hopes for winning basket- jail season this year on an experienced team ol medium-height players, Coach Jake Ball announced today. Five lettermen returned this year from the 1939-40 varsity, giving the new Trojan mentor a substantial base on which to model a crack cage quintet.

Ansel Chares, lanky center, was the lone team member lost by graduation last fall. Practices for candidates, other than football players, have been underway In the spacious auditorium at Newcomerstown lor the past two weeks. The pre-season sessions were conducted by Assistant Coach Eugene Riffle with 20 aspirants reporting. Coach Ball said today that he has already pared the list, which will include reserve players, to 15 boys. Of the 15 remaining, Coach Ball plans to use at least 12, who will remain on the varsity.

Listed as prospects are'Bob Twyman, center; ''Lightning" Little and "Packy" McFarland, guards, and Don Wolfe and Kenneth Miller, a veteran ol three years, forwards. Bob Twyman's brother will be hard upon his heels in the race for center, Ball stated. Fighting for other posts will be Hootman, Hanson, Booth, Craigo and Yanai All saw plenty of service last year under former Coach Woodrow Wills. a year's "green" team dropped 13 games and won seven. Caldwell high, under Ball last year, tied Philo and McConnelsville for the Little Big Six league championship.

Caldwell won 17 out of 21 games for an outstanding record in an outstanding cage league. Coach Ball is expected to develop a center of qualifications at Newcomerstown. He played center on Marietta college's cage team for three consecutive years and appears to take great interest in the pivot position. Monday's first regulation practice lasted for two hours. The work-out was limited to fundamentals.

Coaches Ball and Riffle will handle the varsity; Coach Peters will direct the freshman team, and Coach Herman Dunseith will manage a squad of 30 junior high cag- ers. The varsity's first game will be Friday, Dec. 6. Weston Will Meet Pair of Local Cue Artists Wednesday Cue shark "Cowboy" Weston wil attempt an "iron man" feat Wednesday when he takes on Coshocton's two outstanding billard artists in matches at the Clock billard room. At 3 p.

m. Weston meets Eddie Rodman in a 100-point pocket bil- lard setto, and in the evening he will shoot it out with Bus Turner, this city's crack three-cushion bil- lard player, in a 50-point match. Rodman defeated the veteran Weston, 100 to 72, a pocket billiard exhibition at the Athletic Club billiard room here last Friday night. Massillon record. The Tigers are bettered defensively by Powhatan Point, Mentor and Bexley.

High school teams may like to play Massillon for it mcar.c i2 crowds and plenty of dollars for the school treasury, but they dislike even more getting walloped I by such terrific scores. The Inside dope is that several of the schools tied up with Massillon game contracts are trying to break them. Several gentlemen close to the scholastic scene have privately warned thruout the season that the lopsided scores would endanger Massillon's chances of contracting for future games. The Middletown quartet back had a chance to break the final 0-0 deadlock in the game with Hamilton but as he dossed the 2oal line on a plunge the ball squirted out of his arms and beyond the end zone for an mat.c safely. Steubenville won in the last minute of play, 12-7 over Liverpool.

Harmon, who has scored 30 In three years for the Wolverines, will go gunning for 'Red" Grange' record of 31 when he and his Wolverine teammates ne up against Ohio State here Saturday.

Mackey, In praising Michigan's work in all departments, continually came back to Harmon in the course of hfs remarks. "He never stiff arms, he Just runs hard and fast. He's a good passer and an excellent faker. And his punting is much better than last year. His punting accounted for the difference in the score in the Northwestern game when his accurate quick kicks kept Northwestern In the 'dog house'." Mackey admitted that Terrible Tommy hasn't been up to his us- Ua stellar role the last two games because of wet fields.

'Don't overlook Westfall. He's a fine fullback. When you stop Harmon's sweeps, Westfall smashes into the line for plenty of gain." Meanwhile, Head Coach Francis A.

Uncertainty concerning the physical condition of Charlie Anderson, star Negro left end, tempered Ohio State's hopes.

Bad news greeted the matchmaker just before starting time when he learned that events, involving CCC youths, would not go on as scheduled. However, O'Brien managed to scrape up two exhibition bouts, In which CCC fighters were matched with each other.

Young Jackie Graham, 143, of this city won his three-rounder easily over Raymond Singer, ol i Cambridge, in spite of a nine! pound handicap. Graham gave his opponent a rough going over in the first round, but seemingly eased xip in the next two frames. Cambridge's hard-hitting Dick larley proved too much of a ring master for the more inexperienced Bill Tate, local 172-pound colored youth, and won on a technical cnockout at the end of the third 'ound. It was the main event and was scheduled for five stanzas. Tate held his own In the first Irame, but his downfall started lust before the bell when Earley caught him flush on the button with a right hook.

The local boy Idssed the canvas for a nine-count in the second round and an eight- count in the third, and was out oa hla feel when the end came. Of the two CCC exhibitions only clever Charley Ruff, 118, and Eddie Carl, 122, registered 'with fans. Ruff put on a masterful demonstration of his cunning and speed. At the end both boys were bleeding from the nose as the result of a constant stream left jabs. Carl Hysell, 147, and Charles Cooper, 145, swung lightly in their tlt-tat-to.
