NEWTON WINS
TAKES A FOOTBALL GAME FROM
FAIRMOUNT TEAM.
Game LIS Holly Contested and Score
is is to 2,

The Paramount Football team open
! ed their season of games in Newton yes
| terday and went down to defeat before
the strong Newton team with score Of
Is to g. The game is the first one of the
season for any of the Wichita teams
with outside people, and the result was
closely watched for. The game at New
ton was one of the hardest contested
! games that have been played in southern
| Kansas for years, and the score does not
| indicate the hard battle put up by both
| teams
The teams were very similar in weight.
! With the exception that in defense Fair
mount was weak, the teams would have
been nearly matched. Newton has always
! been a town for football men, and the
men grown in that place are all large
| ones. Probably no town in the state can
boast of a city team with better mater
! lar or more weight than can Newton.
The Paramount boys knew that they were
going~up against a hard proposition and
have no apologies to offer for their de-
feat.
The day for football was perfect, and
| all Newton turned cut to watch the
game. Ever since Paramount gave the
Newton men such g drubbing last season
she has been impatient to see the men
come together again.
Practically the first game for at least
six of the Fairmount players explains to
certain extent the defeat This one
game, however. was school for the en-
tire team, and was worth weeks prac-
tice. Promptly at 2:45 the teams took
