...The Bulldogs' season had been very successful, but they still had a second game with Massillon to get out of the way. The game occurred three days after the Detroit game on November 25, 1917. Stunningly, Massillon pulled off a 6-0 upset on a pair of field goals by ex-Notre Dame star Stan Cofall. Canton simply didn’t play well. Jim Thorpe was injured early in this game and limped throughout....

Thanks.

It fun to look back at our history. It's something we should be very proud of and not take for granted.
