Someone said the refs stumbled out of a bar in Wellston and caught a cab to the game for that one. :mrgreen:

But seriously, does anyone know what the all time record is between those two? My guess is it's heavily favored by Ironton, but maybe back in those days Wellston was better.

Refs would have catch a street car. The first car in Wellston was 1910. President Nixon's father was a street car conductor before they left Hamden area for California.
