sEDALIA

1no "cuL"OTLh iOOiodll team mtI 0S-
feat at the hands of the Sedalia Athletic
team Monday in one of the most hotly
contested games of the season. The game
was played at Association park in Sedalia
and attracted a large crowd. Many citi-
zens from this place went down to wit
ness the game. The Wentworth team
was much lighter than the Sedalia eleven
but they showed better and quicker team
work and it was the general opinion OF
the spectators that had they played the
full halves instead of the 20 minute halves
which they did play, that the score would
have resulted in their favor. The game
was a hot and spirited one from the time
of the first kick off until the end of the
last half. Both sides realized that they
were up against it and played hard ball.
The Sedalians were not in as good condi-
ton as our boys and were continually
playing for time in the last half.
Sedalia caught the ball on the kick off
and advanced it to the 45 yard line. They
slowly pushed the ball down towards
W~entworth's goal and secured the first
touch down and it was the only one made
during the first half. The ball was on the
IS yard line and in Wentworth's posses
sion when time was called for the end OF
the first half. In the last half Sedalia Sc
cured another touch down making the
score 10 to o. The superior training of
the Wentworth boys now began to tell
and they showed up as such as when they
entered the game. They went after the
Sedalia men and soon had them ont of
wind and playing for time. The cadets
advanced the ball towards the Sedalia
goal and successfully worked two criss
crosses on them, placing the ball or the
10 yard line. An opening was then made
In the line and Follmer went through
with the ball and carried 1t past the goal.
Stsrke failed on the kick and the score
stood 10 to 4 10 Sedalia's favor.
The Academy boys clearly out played
them for the rest OF the game and had the
time been only a few minut longer they
wonld have secured another touch down.
The men they played against out weigh
ed them all round aud some OF them
were old university foot ball players.
This was the second time the Academy
team was defeated In three years, their
nrst defeat being in q game played last
season against the Tigers. The men all
showed up well and In speaking OF the
individual players it is hard to single out
the work of one whose work was not ex-
celleut. McAlester deserves special no.
tice for the manner In which he handled
the ball at quarter and for the interior
0nce ne put up Tor the man VINO carried 1t.
He is a strong player and q heady one and
knows every feature OF the game. The
entire line was good. They withstood
some heavy bucking by the men who out
weighed them 20 pounds to the man and
wonld make an opening in their oppo-
nents line when the ball was In their pos
session. Follmer played an excellent
game from start to finish aud carried the
ball for the only touch down made by the
home team. Stark and Ryus did effective
work behind the line and were in every
mix up.
