The city High School defeated the
heavy Elliott team yesterday afternoon
at the Island ball park grounds in a
stubbornly- contested game Two pecu-
liar features of the game were that both
scores were made, one at the end of
each half with less than a minute left
to play. Notwithstanding the fact that
Elliott was far heavier than their OPP
ponents they played Coss. their coach,
who is an end on the Bethany College
eleven. The time of halves was rs
minutes.
Elliott scored just at the end of the
first half. High School was defending
the east goal. Lipphardt kicked to
Conrad on about the twenty hve-yard
line, who made 10 yards more before
being downed. The ball was seesawed
up and down the field, until finally
Elliot. secured 1t in the middle of the
field. High School held two downs
and Lipphardt on the third down kick
ed Somehow was down the field right
under the ball and lnterfered with
Metzner as he caught the ball. In the
tumble Elliott secured the ball. The
umpire did not see the interference
and Elliott obtained possession of the
bal on High Schools 20-yard line.
From his point by series of mass
plays through the guards, Elliott
showed Lippnardt over with the ball
for touchdown, with only a few
seconds remaining to play. The ball
was brought out for a kick, but the
angle was too difficult and Lipphardt
missed his try at goal. Score, Elliott,
5; High School. 0.
In the second half Conrad kicked off
to Elliott's 25-yard line. 1t was a
nasty ball to handle and was fumbled,
CoWl recovering Tue ball for High
School. The ball changed hands quite
often, but all the time it was in Eli
otis territory. High School towards
the end of the game took a decided
brace and ran the ball UP to Elliott's
5-yard line. With but very little time
left Elliott held for down and secured
the ball. 1t was by this time quite
dark. Lipphardt dropped back and
punted well out Spectators had
crowded onto the field to see better.
NO one seemed to know just how it
happened, but when the whistle blew
Metzner was resting on the ball be-
hind the goal line. Elliott claimed
Metzner was helped over the line by
outsiders, but the officials did not see
the play and could make no other de-
cision than that the score would have
to stand. Conrad kicked the goal.
winning the game. Score: Elliott. 5;
High School, 6.
Less than a minute remained to play
ana the ball was not kicked off again.
Inc game was very evenly contested.
The lineup was:

will tend to secure these ends, but
its primary purpose is to promote
the welfare of the people living un-
der the bitches already built, to
render the farms now irrigated
more profitable. to lessen the con-
troversies over the distribution OF
water and secure its more syste-
matte and economical use.
Every transaction which has had
to do with the disposal Of streams
has been marked by lavish prodi-
gality. bitches diverted more
water than was used; their owners
claimed more than they could di-
vert; while DEGREES gave appropri-
ators titles to more water than
bitches could carry and many times
what the highest flood could supply
Little was known Of the quantity OF
water needed to irrigate an acre Of
land, and in the absence of such in.
formation the ignorance and greed
of the speculative appropriation had
its opportunity.
