on that. account. Back of the line high
school, showed UP more strongly than
thelr opponents. DoWd played an ex-
ceIent game. He fumbled once but the
team gained by the tumble in an ex-
change of punts. He made a brilliant
run around the academy right, dodg-
ing tacklers prettily. He also made sew
eral pretty tackles Burke, a halfback
or weeks making, and a little fellow
at That, played gamely. Daily put up a
me game also. He fumbled once but
more than atoned for it by his great
kicking and backing UP the line He
outpunted Norris easily and his goal
from place kick from the field was
what scored for high school, He made
brilliant tackles.
Davis was the star for academy His
weight helped him. He broke through
many times for big gains. Harrison

line. Russ and Kruse were strong on
aggressive play. The best feature of
their work was the excellent way they
followed the interference which their
men gave them. On defensive work
Russ was the better. Kruse was weak
and high school missed glorious oppor-
tunities of scoring by not playing
around him more He was put
OUT OF THE WAY EASILY
by high school interference. Back Of
the line the only man who showed UP
to any extent was Norris. Sanderson
made a few good gains, but his work
was simply in following the tremen-
dOus interference which was formed
back of the line and driven at tackle
and end. Norris played an excellent
game He didn't carry the ball many
times. His strong point was in tack
ling. He missed a few easy ones, but
he brought down several high school
men hard. He saved his team from
touchdown against them when he got
Dowd on the 10-yard line, after a run
of 20 yards. eDowd' had just lodged
Wheeler and would have gone over had
not Norris come up from behind.

large measure responsible for the goal

of Harrison on the high school five
yard line. Harrison broke through the
line and had a clear field before him.
The blockers had pushed the high
school men one side, and there was
nothing to check the burly Harrison.
Down near the goal posts stood Lar
kin. 1t didn't seem possible that a little
fellow scarce feet tall and weighing
about 100 pounds could stop big Har-
rfson who towers feet and weighs
nearly 200 pounds. But Larkin made a
pretty tackle, getting the big fellow so
low that he went down like ton of
coal. The tackle was so hard that time
was called to allow Harrison to re-

Capt Hagberg won the toss, and
handed academy the ball to kick off
There was no choice of positions, as
there was no wind. Academy chose to
defend the west goal. Norris kicked
on to Burke on the 15-yard line. Burke
muffed, but quickly recovered, and
came back to the 25-yard line. A dash
at the line failed to gain, and Dowd
gained only a few feet. A bad pass
held the ball, and DAILY punted to cen
ter.
High school stopped the first play,
and academy fumbled the ball, but got
it back. Davis hit the high school line
for five yards. The ball was carried

him hard. Sanderson made five more.
