TEN SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1958 THE EVENING' INDEPENDENT. MASSILLON. OHIO In 6-0 First Defeat Of Year Is Also First Failure To Score In 101 Games fey CHARLIE POWELL The one, only and true difference between a winner and a loser in any sport is the final score. Despite any second-guessing, anything that is said or done, it was Warren 6, Massillon 0. It was 6-0 last night, it's 6-0 today and it will be 6-0 as long as football is played.

The Tigers, try as they that little, three-letter word cannot be weren't meant to bring home the spoils of victory. As a result they tumbled from the ranks of the Undefeated, lost the big chance to virtually put the lock and key on the state championship and became the first Washington high school grid team to be held scoreless in over nine years.

It will take an upset or two, probably, to keep the 1953 state champion from being an undefeated team.

With "last night's Warreruwin the stock of Cleveland Cathedral Latin, Alliance and Marion Harding should take a jump but the Panthers of Gene Slaughter will be right in there. BEATING A Massillon team for the first time since 1951, the Panthers also became the first team shut out the Tigers since little" word the kayo punch never came. i The Panthers, avenging the setback and obliterating 'just about ail thoughts of the upset at the hands of Central Catholic, marched. 83 yards for the only touchdown, made on a i spectacular 25-yard pass comple- tion at 8:36 of the second period, "rand when'the final second ticked off they had truely earned the cttTeted victory. The sweet smell of success touched off one of the biggest "athletic celebrations ever seen the home of the Panthers.
