NeWton's Football Team Loses
TO Strong College Men.
SCORE OF CONTEST y TO 0
Wichita's Eleven Plays Fastest
Game of the Season.

which the Newton Athletic team which
had attempted to secure the champion
ship Of southern Kansas went down tc
defeat before the well directed onslaught
of the Paramount college football eleven
in score Of q to 0.
The day in every respect was an ideal
one for football A splendid day for
players and for the spectators. Scores
of students, down town business men,
clerks and others were on the side lines
TO witness the game, and every person
who saw the game from start to the final
play was pleased, Some of course had
their sympathies with Newton but for ali
of that they could only say It was a
great game.
The Newton team arrived early in the
afternoon and went out TO Paramount to
again battle for honors on the gridiron.
Early in the season, in the first game for
the athletic young men Of Paramount the
Newton people won a game with a score
OF Is to 2, and they hoped to do even bet
ter with the Paramount team on yester-
day. The Paramount boys had deter
minted to win the game from the Newton
players and the score indicates how well
it was done.
The style Of playing was changeable
for any person who witnessed the con-
test. Newton at the beginning Of the
game tried the Paramount line. The
strong backs played across the Fair
mount tackles. They rarely ever tried
the end, but their method of play told for
awhile and they made rapid gains for
the first part Of the game, into the Fair
mount territory.
The Paramount boys took a decided
brace and with rapid strides went back
across the field. It was not only by
heavy line plays, but interspersed was
brilliant end running by the backs. In
no game seen here was there as much
end running with a good interference put
up as in the game Of yesterday.
After contest, which was truly bat
tie, Newton weakened just a little. but It
was enough for the Fairmount men and
they secured their first touchdown a few
minutes before the calling of time for
the first hah.
The second half produced faster work
from the Paramount team and the result
was longer end runs, better punting and
heavier line plays.
The Newton men played a strong game.
They understood what they were doing,
but after time the work Of Coach Hess
on his men told the story, which is again
repeated in the score The Fairmount
men during the latter part OF the half
played almost at will and the last touch
down was made in a very short time.
The pnting Of both full backs was ex-
cellent In this respect the game comes
nearer being the eastern game. Foot
ball in the east has plenty OF good kick
ing and IN this respect the western play
ing and especially that Of Wichita has
been deficient. Lewis for Paramount was
surer on his catches than House, but
both men made good plays during the
game.
The line playing Of both teams was
above the average Felgar for Newton
plays a hard. steady game, and both
Kirk and Davis for Paramount are in
the game.
