Yesterday afternoon on the Paramount
college campus the Falrmount college
football team and the eleven of the city
High school contested for football honors
and as result of the game the Fair
mount men were victorious, with a score
of 16 to 0.
The game in reality was better one
than the score would Indicate and the
game. from a spectators point Of view.
was interesting and rapid
The day was just right for football and
both teams played fast and snappy. In
regard to weight, the Paramount team
had the advantage, especially in the cen
ter of the line.
The back field was perhaps nearly equal
in regard to the weight of the men and
the High school average was brought up
by the weight of Johnson at fullback.
The style Of play was varied enough
to to suit any of the spectators. The end
running of the High school backs was
excellent and shows up the weakness to
some extent of the Paramount team.
When the High school men tried to force
the Paramount line it was like trying TO
shove wall, the weight was too great
for the High school men.
In team work and massed playing, the
Fairmount team had much the advan-
tage over the High school and it is team
work that Coach Hess good work shows
itself on the Paramount men. Many of
the team have never played football be-
fore this year and yesterday their play
ing was like that Of veterans.
Although the High school team failed to
sccore against the Paramount eleven,
nevertheless the kept the Fairmounters
guessing as to that part of the game I'M
til time was called in the last half.
The game was entirely free from
wrangling and al Through the afternoon
the best of feeling was in evidence.
