HIGH SCHOOL LOSES
81 Dorado Victorious In Foot
ball Game Yesterday.
SCORE WAS SIX TO FIVE
Paramount Meets Team From
Manhattan Tomorrow.

The Wichita High School football team
went down in defeat yesterday before
the onslaughts Of the city team from Ell
Dorado. The game was a good one and
hotly contested, but for all Of that the
High school men could not win against
weight at all points Of the game. The
Score at the end Of the game was 70 s.
When the two teams went on the
streets before going to the grounds it
was evident that the Ell Dorado men had
much the advantage in regard to weight
They were large, active fellows, but yet
for all Of that their football playing was
not up TO that Of the home team.
The day for football was not good. The
wind interfered with the punting of both
teams, and also in the goal kicking. Even
while the kicking game was not tried to
such an extent, yet the majority of the
plays Of both teams could have been
improved by more punting, giving the
men a chance to rest from the line plays
and end runs.
The game played was principally that
Of line bucks by the Fl Dorado men.
Once in while they tried running the
ends, and in this they met their match
in the pluclly High school lads. The
tactics Of the High school were very diff
ferent, and 1t was not often that they
used the line system Of playing The
series play originated by the High school
was tried and resulted in gains and con-
siderable surprise to the FL Dorado team.
One Of the worst features of the entire
afternoon was the wrangling Of the FL
Dorado men. They are evidently not fully
up on football, and every decision made
was objected 10 on the grounds that it
was not fair or did not comply with the
rules. In this respect the High school
team is superior The men know the
game Of football and its rules and can
give the FL Dorado boys a lesson in
rules and tactics.
The teams VIII probably meet In Ell
Dorado in the near future.
