with a good kick. Rudd caught the
sphere and it was soon In Denison ter
ritory, but il Dow City hands. They
bucked the Denison line for gains of
three, seven and fifteen yards. The
last scrimmage was quite a serious af-
fair, and drew blood from at least two
OF the players. 1t was still Dow City's
ball and they hit the line for successive
small gains, getting down to the Col
1tge7s twenty-five yard line. Denison's
center began TO show more resistance,
so two right-end plays were tried, then
they tried the left end. but ran against
a proposition in the shape of Sandstrom.

throughout, and downed his man every
time. Denison now got the bali on

would have made more but for clever
tackle by Whaley. Baker made five
yards more, push through center net

The Second Half
The College played better ball in The
last half, ard made very stubborn
resistance. There were few brillian

line and goal was kicked. The game
ended with the ball in Dow City's terri
tory.
1t is hard to individualize the plays
Butterworth, Rudd and Baker were
the stars OF the Dow City team, al
though Woodruff was Il tower OF
strength. Our boys all did the bes
they could and we aie not gong to par

and are pretty husky fellows. The lina
score was Dow CITY II. Denison o.
