The Keokuk high school football
| team was made to look like thirty
cents" yesterday by the husky repre-
sentatives of Ottumwa's temple of
learning. Altho it was a foregone
conclusion that the home team would
defeat the visitors, it was hardly ex-
pected that they would do 1t without
turning hair. 1t was the easiest
game Ottumwa has had this year.
They routed them, they secuted
them, nor lost a single man." The
game was one series of kicking off,
making touchdowns and kicking goals.
Ottumwa never let go the ball except
when she wanted to get some defen-
sive practice, and then the pig skin
came back as il it was tied to Ottum-
wa.
