Finishing the season In whirl-wmd
Kl.ylo the Chickasha high school
eleven yestorday afternoon defeated
the Guthrie hlg hschool team 130 to
0 In a lotp-sided game played on the
Eighth street gridiron.
Guthrie was able to make downs
only one time this toeing In a short
pass for twelve yards. Strauss'' ag-
gregation made downs almost at
will.
The locals started scoring in the
first minute or play when a long
forward pass Itoach to Washburn
brought the first counter. Guthrie
kicked off and stopped the Chlck-
tisha runner on the 24-yard line. On
the next play Roach passed a long
r.piral to Washburn who raced be-
hind the bars. Roach kicked goal.
Machine Invincible.
From the time Washburn scored
the first touchdown until the final
whistle was blown' "Dutch" Strauss'
peering machine waB invincible and
ut no time did the Guthrie gridsters
threaten to halt tho onslaught. The
visitors wero helpless throughout.
'Chickasha was successful in every
style of football. Coach Purdue's
team had little defense to comibat
passing and. several of tho nineteen
touchdowns registered by the
'Straussm.en were made via tho aerial
route.
' To pick an Individual star of the
game' would be a job more difficult
than tho selecting of an all-American
scholastic ' eleven. The Chickasha
wlng-mon and line must be given
credit for holding the Guthrie teair.
in such manner that they were un-
able to make downs one single time
over the line or around the ends
while the backfiald men had little
trouble in advancing the ball.
Roach White and Washburn
played important' parts in scoring.
Four times during the one-sided con-
tent Washburn crossed the Guthrie
goal lino after receiving almost per-
fect passes from Roach undoubtedly
tho most brilliant fullback in Okla-
homa scholasitc football.
In addition to his long kicks ac-
curate passing and defensive' work.
Roach carried the- inflated pigskin
for five touchdowns.
"Red" White was easily one of the
senasations of the game. Despite
painful injuries sustained In the
Tulsa game last Saturday "Red"
entered the game in the third quar-
ter and registered four touchdowns
two of which were made by 53-yard
runs. White's leit arm was practically
useless as a result of the injuries
mstained In the game against the
oil city team.
Strauss used many second string
men in the final quarter.
