Coach winters Tells How h Game
Was Won-Other Views.

Coach Winters and the officials of the
game express themselves as highly pleased
with the exhibition given by the two teams.
Speaking of the game and the work done
by NJ. I. H. s., which he trained. Coach
Winters said:
1.-The Training School team knew when
they went on the field that they would win
If they played as hard as they knew how.
Every man did his best and after the first
five minutes 1t was very apparent that we
would win, barring accidents. l did not
expect Shortridge to score, and, as a matter
of fact, their six points were made on a
fluke. Outside of Boslers run on a delayed
pass I do not believe that Shortridge made
twenty-five yards in the whole game.
Training Schools victory was due largely
to superior condition. Not a man on our
team was forced to quit the game as a re-
suit of injuries. 1 want to say that Short
ridge played one of the Quickest games l
have ever seen. The way the players stayed
in the game after being knocked out by
Training Schools fast play was mighty
piucky. 1t would be unjust for me to single
out any one man on the NJ. L. II. 5. team
for special mention, but / think L can say
with the approval of every man on the
team that John Kittle, the captain, played
the game of his life and that to him, with
the team behind him, is due the credit OF
the victory.
The team went into the game under or
ders to hit the left side of the Shortridge
line and keep smashing it, but after the first
Few minutes IL was apparent tndI we were
badly mistaken. We could do little with
this side of the opposing line, and almost
all of our gains were made through the
Shortridge right wing. TIL most salts
factory feature of the game to me was
the way in which the Shortridge end plays
were smashed before they got past tackles
anu the way in which we got around their
ends, which were supposed to be lmpreg-
nable. The three center men on the S. II. S.
team are the best we have played against
this year and they played more like varsity
line men than any three men | have seen
off an Eastern gridiron. Considering how
much depended on the game and how high
the feeling ran, the gentlemanly way in
v hich the game was played reflected great
CT edit upon both teams"
Referee Pattison speaking of the game
said: 1.-The NJ. T. II. S. team easily out-
classed Shortridge in team work. Their
tackles-back, guards-back and tandem
formations were too much for Shortridge
which could not withstand the heavy
rushes of the Training School. Little Off
side and rough playing was INDUCED in by
either team, which is somewhat unusual
considering the rivalry between the two
teams. For NJ. T. H. s., Kettle was easily
the star. He followed his interference like
a veteran and will no doubt max a bril-
liant record when he becomes a member
Shideler tackled iercely and were consist
ent ground gamers. For s. II. s., D..
Deans huke touchdown was remarkable,
as he blocked the kick and then secured
the ball. carrying it over the line together
with several of the NJ. 7. H. S. men, who
attempted to arrest his progress. Halls
tackling prevented NJ. 7. II. S.. from max
ing several touchdowns and he was mixed
up in every play, although injured in the
early part Of the game. Gipe, Clark and
Tolin also deserve mention"
xxx
at was as fine a high school game as /
have ever Witnessed" said Roy Pike, ref
cree. 81 think the game will compare ia
vorably with the Indiana college games.
The NJ. II. H. S. team was far superior in
individual work, and the tackling of Kaylor
and Jack Shideler was excellent. Kittle
was at all times in the game and deserves
great praise for his heady work at all
stages of the game. The Shortridge BOYS,
though outplayed, put up a stubborn de-
fenSive game"
Fred West, timekeeper: at is hard to
pick out any particular star in to-day's
contest. Every man played a good clean
game. Scott and Ward Dean played with
the greatest vigOr as did Tolin, who /
would think was the star of the Shortridge
side. Every man on the M. T. H. S. team
played a strong game and helped to the
