game was a clean one from start to fin
ish, devoid of all smuggling or ungentle-
manly conduct. and was free from ac-
cidents, save few minor bruises that
resulted generally after every scrim-
mage. Twenty minute halves We're de-
cided upon, and Marshalltown won the
toss and chose the west goal, getting
good advantage in the wind Robinson
kicked off for State Center, and after
some steady, aggressive work on the
part of the home team the ball was
forced to the ten-yard line, where it
was lost on downs. Carpenter then made
the star run of the afternoon and car
ried the pigskn to the center of the
field, around the left end, where he was
downed by Beasley. In mass playing

This proved to be the only score of the
afternoon, although the remainder of
the game was contested on every hand.
State Center's line was weak, although
at times they succeeded in holding the
rushes we'll. Her backs, Capt. Carpen-
! ter, Robinson and Wyatt, did excellent
work, although they did not seem to be
| able to make much use of their fleet
ness of foot. Marshalltown was weak
| behind the line, but her line was strong.
All of the boys played we'll, and there
was little grounds for complaint along
any line. Jimmie Wilson captained the
| team. Bratt and Wilbur worked the
hardest in the sma shes. Harry Beas-
Hey, VINO was placed on as one of the
