This was the year the Bulldog from Canton McKinley was supposed to ascend the state high school gridiron throne occupied by the Massillon Tiger for the past six years. An SRO crowd of 21,391 filed into Tiger Stadium Saturday to watch the kill in this, the 59th meeting between these ancient Stark County powerhouses. What happened? The smug Tizer is placidly picking his teeth today after feasting on Bulldog, and wearing his seventh straight Ohio crown quite jauntily. NEVER IN the moss-backed rivalry between the two schools has a team been so overrated as the Bulldogs were this year. A one to two-touchdown favorite, McKinley just couldn't rut it against the fired-up champs.

What changed the good-natured Tigers, who had won all by comparatively dose scores. lost one, into a raging, clawing, unbeatable gridiron machine? Youthful Tom Harp, com pletlng his first year as head coach lit Massillon, had a simple answers "The boys wanted the state title again." "WE HAD a great football team this year," Harp went on between handshakes from enthusiastic alumni and friends. "It didn't show up at first because of changing coaches and systems. But, as the season wore on, the boys got to know what I wanted. They started to come fast midway through the season and I could tell all week that there'd be no holding them against McKinley.

"Scared? Sure we were afraid of McKinley. We're afraid of all the teams we play. That Garfield team from Akron gave us a whale of a time before we finally beat them. And, don't kid yourself, this McKinley team was good.

Playing before the nation's top football crowd of the season 102,548 fans jammed Into Memorial Coliseum UCLA had to get as hot as the unofficial field temperature of 110 degrees in the final period to run up their one sided score after being held to a single touchdown for three periods.

They were outrushed, out- charged and outfoxed at every turn during the first round and were pushed back for 68 yards on 11 plays after the opening kickoff to find themselves 70 behind when the game was only 6:28 old. The Michlganders continued to do almost as they pleased throughout the remainder of this period and until there were only two minutes left of the second. BY TIHS TIME Fullback Hubert Bobo also had been hurt and removed to the sideline, with Jack Gibbs, an almost un known senior from Columbui replacing him. Gibbs had played several minutes in earlier games and had carried the ball four times for eight On the first play following his entry yesterday Michigan's Jim Maddock's pass settled into Gibbs arms on the Ohio 45 and Jack skedaddled down the left sideline to the Michigan 10 before Maddock pushed him out of bounds. THE BUCKS drew immediate penalty for delay which set them back to the 15-yard line but on the first play from there Dave Leggett passed into the waiting arms of End Freddie Kriss in the end zone for the touchdown which became 7-7 with Tad Weed's So the score was all even at halftime and the Buckeye partisans In the crowd of 82, 438 found some consolation dur ing intermission from looking at the scoreboard and trying hard not to think back upon the one-sided affair they had In that first half the Wolver ines made 11 first downs to Ohio's three: rushed for 148 yards to Ohio's 27; passed for 42 yards to Ohio's 15; held pos-session to run 40 plays to Ohio'a 13.

But that was only the half of it. THE BUCKEYES managed to pick up a fourth first down on an 18-yard gallop by Hopa- long cassady after the second-half kickoff, but they were un-able to work up any substained They did not touch the ball again after their next punt until the limping Bobo recovered a fumble by Michigan's Fred Baer on the Ohio 21-yard line to halt, temporarily at least, what had appeared to be a second Michigan touchdown drive in the After three futile offensive thrusts Bobo was rushed on his punt and the ball went almost straight up and then came down in the arms of Michigan's Tom Maentz on the Ohio 14-yard line.

The Flashes pushed the Bron cos all over the sloppy gridiron during the first half, but re tired to the dressing room trailing, 13-7, because of two costly fumbles in the first pe riod. BOB STIMAC, finding the wet ball hard to handle, drop ped it once on the Western Michigan six and the ball was recovered in the end zone by Bronco End John Berryman for a touchback.

Late in the period he fumbled it again to the Broncos on the Western Michigan two.
