List.
Defeated Belle PLANE in a Good
Game With a Score Of
"a to 0.
Boone Team Defeats the ST.
Mary's School Eleven.
Score ii to O.

The Marshalltown high Scholl foot
ball eleven had everything its own way
at Belle Plaine Saturday, where it met
the Belle PLANE high school team on
the gridiron. Twenty four to nothing
was the score when time was called
on the last half, and not at any time
during the game was the Marshalltown
goal in danger.
The Belle PLANE team showed the eff
fectS OF lack of practice in its playing
turnout the entire game, also the lack
of teamwork Call. captain. did some
good work for the home team. as did
also Marshall, the colored tackle, who
will be remembered as having played
on the town team that met a local elev-
en- here a few years ago, each playing
a good defensive game and carrying
the ball whenever an opportunity af-
forded. The team was unable to make
any inroads with the sturdy Marshall
town line, as an excellent defensive
game was put up by the visitors, and
not until the last five minutes of play
was the Belle Plaine men capable of
making any gains ut all. During that
time, however, they hit the opposing
line pretty hard at times for gains and
had there been more time it is likely
would have at least scored.
For the Marshalltown eleven good
team work was the feature of the de-
fensive play. Captain Burroughs made
two long end runs and some fine punt
blocking; Kirk and Fletcher were star
performers in breaking thru the Belle
PLANE line for thirty-yard end runs.
Hull was not we'll and wasn't worked
hard. The touchdowns, four in num-
Der, were made by Kent and Beasley,
Lounsberry and Hull. Salisbury kicked
every goal, and two of them We're pref
" stiff propositions too. being at bad
angles and against the wind. The teams
lined up as follows:

Mr.. Ralph E. Hill, of the MARSHALL
town high school, refereed the game.
The team was entertained in very cor
dial manner by the Belle PLANE boys,
and also by the business men, Propri-
etor Graul, of the Little Chicago res
taurant, serving fifteen meals to the
visitors free of charge. This was done
because OF the small interest taken in
foot ball, which consequently made the.
Belle PLANE team losers. Only about 81
were taken in at the gate and to defray
the necessary expenses the Belle Plaine
business men put up the amount neces-
sary.
The Belle Plaine team will play it's
return game in this city next Saturday
afternoon.
Boone Second Ward II; st. Mary's 0.
The foot ball game here Saturday af-
ternoon between the Second ward team
of Boone and ST. Mary's Institute eleven
was decidedly uninteresting, because of
the lack of foot ball and too much
wrangle and rag mastication. The game
was won by the visitors by score of II
to O. The victory wasn't expected by
the local team, because of the fact that
this was its first game, while on the
other hand the Boone team hasn't been
worsted this year. For the visitors
wheelock, Zellers, Penfield, Peters and
Hannah all played good game. Zellers
