ioned J. oot Ball...Visitors
Great at WranRling.

Eddystone came to town yesterday witt
the firm determination of dow ming tn
good old Warren eleven.
All their good intentions were of n
avail, as the home boys showed then
that they didn't know a thing abou
foot ball and trimmed them to the un
Of too.
They did it, too, in a dignified foot bal
way, without any fancy trimmings, ant
impressed the large crowd of rooter
present that they were dressed in armo
for business only.
| The closeness Of the contest was M
disappointment to the Warren lads, fol
1t was expected, and even prophesied
that the game would be a draw, anc
some people went SO far as to say thai
Eddystone would beat the locals.
The fact that Warren won seemed tc
give great deal of satisfaction to al
who sided with the home warriors, and
even Eddvstone did not feel disgraced.
To tackle such great team as the
Warren and make neck-and-neck
finish is certainly glory for any crowd OF
foot bail players.
The system of play employed by the
two teams presented great contrast.
Eddystone was very partial to close
formations and hard. massive smashes.
Now and then she introduced q few
queer tricks, which would not work.
There was no open play in their alpha
bet. As result their attempted ad.
vances were dropped in their tracks by
the vicious tackling of Warren.
The home players simply dropr ed in
front OF these mass plays and rolled
them up in heaps. Now and then Cas,-
man or Cheetham would made bril-.
liant dash, but the gain was not steady
enough to enable them to score.
Warren, on the other hand, pushed up
good, old-fashioned plays, full of snap
and vim, and these did the business.
There was no attempts at trick plays
or odd and heavy formations. Her half
backs dashed into the line and every
man knew his position and what to do
to help him. 1t the runner got into
trouble he was either pushed or dragged
for gain. Such kind OF play may not
be brilliant, but it scores.
AT that there was several plays which
showed good head work, noticeably one
made by Horace Mcdaniel, who had
caught punt, and on being tackled by
Cheethaln he passed the ball to Prenti s,
who ran it back twenty yards before
being downed. The line bucking and
end running Of Smith and Prentiss was
very fine. Pop Green played hot game,
having great number Of tackles to his
credit. Cheetham, eastman and Rich.
ardson did the best work for Eddystone.
The only thing to mar the fine playing
was the continual wrangling of the Wis.,
itors, the things they kicked over, in
most cases, being absurd. In this re-
spect the game was very different from
last Saturdays contest. How the gains
and losses were made is as follows:

off, Mcdaniel catching the ball and
running it back twenty-five yards before
