tho attendance would have been much |
larger. The Planet A. G. team coVereu
itself with glory by defeating the
strong North End team after STUD
born contest. Both teams exhibited
remarkable condition for so early ID
the season and scarcely 10 minutes
was taken out for injured players
The North Ends outweighed their op-
moments considerably, and their sup
porters expected an easy victory, put
they had not been playing five min
utes befo q ii was seen that lhe
Planet boys were full of ginger ana
sure tacklers, and Planet stock went
up several points when they held the
North Ends for downs just after the
kickoff. Both sides were guilty OF
much fumbling. but the Planets sur
fered most and several times lost the
ball in this manner, when the chances
to score looked bright.
North Ends kicked off at 30 ana
the Planets did some splendid work
around the ends but lost the ball ON
fumbles twice within five minutes,
each time holding the North Ends for
downs. North Ends got the ball on
planets - yard line and, although
they fumbled it three times in quick
succession, a North End man dropped
on IL each time, and they worked the
ball to Planets two yard line, where
the light team heed for dear life and
got the ball on downs. They funbled
and made a touchdown. Planet then
kicked from her ID yard line and the
ball was In North Ends hands In
center OF field, when the whistle blew
for the first half.
The North Ends started In with n
rush in the second half and ran the
ball back % yards on the kickoff.
Then Bcduhr with good interference,
made 20 yards around left end, but
they lost the bah on downs after sew
eral minutes OF sce-sawing back and
forth IN the center of the field. Plan

the game and 1t worked to perfection
V0lk took the ball on double pas
and easily cleared the whole Nortl
End team around the right end, an
had an easy touchdown, but was bac
to the % yard line for going out c
the Planets renewed courage and the
rushed great holes in the North En
line for from three TO seven yards an
finally pushed Buff Fenton over fc
touchdown, amid great cheering b
the Planet contingent, which was Yer
numerous. They missed goal. Scor

Only about six minutes remained
play and the Planets put forth even
effort TO hold the North Ends fro
scoring. They ran the bah back on
10 yards on the kickoff, but immcdiat
ly began rushing 1t down, the field o,
OF danger and although they fumbl,
twice, We're lucky enough to keep Il
ball. Time called with the ball
