Wellington and High School
Have Hot Football Game.
o TO 0 TELLS THE STORY
Teams Play Fast Ball and Are
Evenly Matched.

The football team from the Sumnee
County High school at Wellington came
in yesterday morning over the Santa e
to meet the High school football team IN
a contest on the gridiron on the campus
Of the Friends university. \ few weeks
ago the Wichita team went to yelling
ton and as a result of that visit was de
feated by the Sumner county men, al
though they had once defeated the High
school, were unable to do it yesterday.
The plucky players of the High school
were ready for every move and more
than met the Sumner county men half
way when 1t came to playing football.
The day for a football game was not
as pleasant as many days which Wichita
has recently had. The air was chill and
for a time snow fakes dropped around
the men as they gathered on the field.
The spectators were cold at times and
kept moving around to rid themselves OF
the disagreeabIe feeling, but in spite Of
that fact. they enjoyed the game Of the
afternoon The score which resulted in
the game was that of to 0. There have
been tie games played in Wichita al
ready this year but this is the first time
nothing for either side.
The splendid showing Of the High
school team was surprise to many Of
the people in attendance at the game.
This does not make it uncomplimentary
to the Wellington men for they know
how to play football, and how to play it
weR
There was nothing disagreeabls IN the
| playing of either team and the absence
of wrangling was appreciated by the per
son who was out to see good football
and fast playing.
wellington won the toss and chose the
goal High school kicked and the bail
went to Wellington and the game was
started. The Wellington men had the
| best Of the argument for a time but the
High school men took a decided brace
/ and regained the ball The ball changed
hands several times during the first half
/ and after time the Wichita boys we Q
! pushed slowly but surely nearly TO the
center of the field, when Price of Well
/ ington got loose and carried the bal Ito
the High schools ten-yard line. But
4 here Wichita took a brace and secured
4 the BAH on downs when time was called
/ score-Wichita o. Wellington 0.
The second half was more exciting than
the first. Wellington kicked off and
downed the Wichita boys on the spot
After a few short gains, in which John
son figured prominently as interference.
+ Reed was sent around the end for some
sixty yards, making the finest run of the
! day. Barnes, Means and Johnson each
took good gains, when upon a tumble
Wellington secured the ball on their hf-
teen-yard line. BY the excellent work Of
Price and Wellingtons line the bail was
carried back to the center Of the fe d.
Here the bal lchanged hands continually
the rest of the half. Wellington's team
was unable to score in the last half be-
cause it could make only small gains and
played slow ball.
The High school PLAYED its usual fast
game. The tactics Of the two teams were
exactly opposite, Wellington playing
heavy mass ball, while Wichita ran the
ends and bucked the tackles. The teams
were about equal in team work The
/ lineup was az follows:
