CARLISLE SCORED A G AIMS T
PENNSYLVANIA. c. & A. C. AND
GREENSBURG PLAYED A GREAT
CAMEO o ESTs BY LOCAL
TEAMS.
When Greensburg played the Wheel
ing A. c., there were those who ex-
planned the poor attendance by the fact
that the admission was too high. Yes
serday 1t was cut in half, and the cut
IN the attendance was still greater.
Notwithstanding this lack of encour-
agement, w. A. c. went into the game
with crippled team, and won handily
from Mckee's Rocks Indians. The
local eleven had the advantage in
weight, averaging about 172 pounds,
but the advantage was not what the
Indians would have it appear in their
efforts to explain their defeat. Their
assertion that their team averaged only
las pounds, was absurd. There were
not two men in the team who did not
weigh more than $50. However,
Wheeling had clear advantage of ten
pounds in average weight.
uc VlollOio DOdoC tudI lnCy Would
have scored on a dry field, claim
which, as a matter of coarse, can Meth
er be allowed nor refused. They play
ed we'll as it was, but were outclassed
by the local team. They were never
dangerous foe until near the close Of
the second half. One by one their
players had Joined the hospital list
and all the vacancies were filled by big
men. They fought desperately, and
managed to make steady gains through
the line, until w. A. c. made stand
and the visitors punted for the third
down. Wheeling failed to return the
ball, and it was in play on the 15-yard
line when time was called.
Wheeling made big gains by punts,
the kicking of Bob Edwards and Cur
lis being exceptionally good, Bob Ed
wards played a brilliant game. 1t is
q treat to watch his work. He puts
his whole soul into his playing, and
he is generally found somewhere in
the immediate vicinity of the pig-skin.
In kicking goal from touchdown, he
has few, if any, superiors. John Ed
wards also did splendid work. Kinch-
eloe made some excellent gains, not
withstanding his lack Of avoirdupois.
