How THAT TIE HAPPENED.
Both Sacramento and Woodland We're
Wide Awake,
And Neither Were Able to Score
i'm Fridays Football
Game.

The admirers of the pig-skin chasers
and of the sphere twirlers of Woodland
ought to feel we'll satisfied with their
New Years Days outing. Though the
Irish race horses attracted the atten-
ton of many Sacramentans the lO:Zo
train for Woodland ON Friday had 10
put ON an extra coach for the football
| boys and their friends. The Sacra-
mento contingent numbered about sew
enty or eighty, and they were not all of
| the Sterner sex
The Sacramento High School boys
played the Woodland High School team
a return game, and honor is satisfied" ="
The score was nothing to nothing, thus
leaving the series of games in favor
of Sacramento by reason of their re-
cent victory over Woodland.
| Woodlands team, individually, was
so much superior to Sacramento's that
almost all the Capitol City boys went
| into the game with the idea that they
were going to be scored against. But
when, time and time again, the boys in
purple and white held their ground
against the incessant hammering of the
white and orange Sacramento seemed
/ to be somewhat encouraged; and on the
second half they were so aggressive
that at many times Woodland was COM
! PEELED to ask for breathing time. In
the second half Woodland was fairly
outplayed.
| Though no long runs were made by
any player at many times during the
game the players ON either side were
called UP on for fast playing and quick
tackling, and they responded in good
style. There was very little fumbling
Of the ball; though Sacramento lost
some ground by somewhat inaccurate
passes on a fullback kick.
For Sacramento the Dickson brothers.
Holl, Quinton and Cowden played es-
pecially good games. Quinton's play at

to improve with every game, and as
captain of the Sacramento team, uses
