CoachStewart, of Massillon, acted as referee, while Manager Williams acted a sum pire. Timekeepers were McLian and Whitman. Will Strang acted as head linesman, while it was hard to tell who the other officials really were, us there was a crowd constantly overrunning ihe field while the players were in action. The game ended in n tie, the final score being 5 and 5, each side having scored a touchdown. Rice accomplished the trick for Canton, while King carried the ball over the line for Massillon Neither side, however, made any attempt to kick goal.
