The fo)t bali game at the Athletic
park last Saturday afternoon between
the teams of this city and Ishpeming re-
suited in victory for the lshpemings as
was expected, but the Calumet boys feel
as elated over the game as il they had
come out victorious themselves and they
have good reason TO feel proud for they
made good showing aud put up game
that was a surprise 10 the IRON country
boys and did something TO the Ishpeming
team which they have not stood from
another team this season.
The happenings came here expecting
to find a soft thing in the locals af.er the
poor exhibition they made in the iron
country last week, but the Hemitite city
boys were very much taken aback at the
pace the Calumets set Ishpeming won
the toss and choose the goal. Calumet
kicked of and the ball went to their ter
ritory and the Ishpepings by clever end
plays aud the wonderful sprinting OF
their captain and half back Harry John
son made good gain and finally worked
the ball to the Calumet goal where they
scored touch down, but failed for goal
This counted four points Tor them.
Calumet kicked off and Ishpeming
worked the ball in the same manner
down the field, but they had TO do good |
work and the Calumets played we'll on |
the defensive, but they finally got an
other touch down and this time kicked |
goal. This sent the score up to 10 to 0
in their favor. Ishpeming tried the same
tact cs for the third time and after harJ |
fight got the ball down to the Calumet
goal again, but on a tumble lost tue ball
and Calumet made a safety. This made
their score twelve with about three min
utes more to play, Both sides worked
hard in this finish and the ball was but
six inches from Calumet goal when time
was called. This lett the score IL to
and bait the game played.
In the second half the Calumets took
a decided brace and prevented Ishpem-
ing from making score. This is some
thing that even the Duluth, nor any Of
teams that the lshpemings have met this
season has Been able to do. Ishpeming
kicked off and Calumet got the ball. They
made good gains, and kept the ball on
the lshpeming side for long time. Ism
pemlng's Weak spot was the center and
the Calumets went through it just about
whenever they wanted to. But they were
finally compelled to give up the ball for
not making gains. Ishpeming tried their
best, but could make little head gsy,
johnson getting around the end once for
good gain, but aside from this they
could do nothing and try as they would
they could not makeanother score. Fin
ally az last resort they attempted to
kick goal from he field Def IRE the time
was up, but they failed and the ball went
over TO the Calumet just az time was
called.
