to s95, % per cent going to the asso

the south goal, owing to the wind
coming from tina: direction. This
gave the High School the first kick
The ball was stopped by the Smelters
and considerable of the ground was
regained The Smelters then made
considerable gain, when the High
School got the ball and by persistent
work never let it pass out of their
hands until they had secured a
touchdown and added another point

well on the road to another touch

When time was called the Smelters
kicked off, but the ball was sent back
by kick, so no ground was gained.
Then started in the tug of war. The
Shelters put in three new players and
their weight counted. and for twenty
minutes they gained foot by foot un-
til the line was reached. when not an
inch was gained in three tugs. Fin
ally. the ball passed to possession of
the High School and it was thrown
across the line to where one of the
High School boys was stationed ten
feet away. He kicked it but was
stopped by Smelter boy and then an.
other of the Shelters fell upon it. thus
securing touchdown. The goal
was kicked and the score was tie.
There was less than ten minutes re-
naming when the boys set to work

enc side getting the advantage and
then the other. When time was call

The result of the game was very
satisfactory to the High School boys,
who went in to win but believed them
selves the weaker team. The result
showed they worked like Trojans.
The best of feeling prevailed. only
one or two short jangles with the um.

and received appreciation when good
plays were made, the High School

known.
The outcome was happy one and
