County Action Slated (12-10-56)

In county action booked for tomorrow night the unbeaten Strasburg Tigers play host to once beaten Midvale. Port Washington goes to Gnadenhutten to battle the unsullied Indians and Baltic's Eagles go to Stone Creek. All of the games are non-league. The remainder of the county teams play non-league opponents as Dundee goes to Augusta and Tuscarawas travels to Lafferty. The Strasburg-Midvale clash could be the big one of the season in deciding which team is the real power in the county league, although Gnadenhutten will still have to be contended with. The Tigers of Coach Charles Caniford have stopped four straight opponents, while Midvale has chalked up two victories against one loss. The lone defeat coming at the hands of the Baltic Eagles.

INDIANS HAVE WON SIX

Neither team has met a common foe and the game will probably be a thriller as is the usual case. The Indians of Gnadenhutten are looking very strong this early in the season and have rolled over six straight opponents with the closest game being with an outside team in Freeport which they won by six points. Meantime, Port Washington, a late starter, lost the first three games of the season before romping over the last two opponents. The Purple Riders were slated as heavy favorites to cop the county league title in the preseason stories, but experienced trouble in getting started.
