Oskaloosa smash and on the last trial
barely made the necessary half-yard.
lakewood lost four yards on the third
down, with seven yards to gain, Gate
wood attempted a left end run, but
failed. The ball went to Marsihalltown
on downs. Hull hurdled for a three
yard gain, Parsons went thru the CEN
ter with excellent assistance and inter-
ference and then the ground was lost by
tumble. Hull gained seven yards, and
in tackling him Captain Sheppard. Of
the Oskaloosa team, was hurt and laid
out for short time. Lounsberry gained
four yards and Parsons, on the next try,
lost one and one-half yards Kent
gained three around the left, Hull
gained little thru the center and Kirk
got what was necessary. Here the ball
was again umbled, but Kirk luckily got
it. Burroughs attempted gain thru the
left tackle, but was forced back, and
Oskaloosa then held for downs. Gate
wood and Sheppard made good gains
thru the center, followed by Watts
around the left. Richardson failed to
gain and Marshalltown was given the
ball on the 15-yard line by an off-side
play on the part of Kent, Oskaloosa's
right guard. Oskaloosa gradually
worked the ball by center smashes to
the 7-yard line and things began to look
pretty dubious for the home team.
Twice did Oskaloosa barely make her
gains, and 80 close We're the decisions
that actual measurement had to be re-
sorted to. Gatewood fumhled and Bur-
roughs got the ball, snatching it, as 1t
were from the very jaws of defeat.
Mackey, Oskaloosas left guard, had
had his knee wrenched severely and
Sopher was substituted. With three
minutes and thirty seconds left to play
Hull. Beasley. Burroughs and Kirk
worked the ball steadily from the to
the 2o-yard line when time was called
and the suspense of the last hour was
broken by the exultant cheers that
broke from half-thousand threats. The

For the home team an excellent game
was played by the team as team. or
course there was particularly fine indi-
vidual work, but it was the team work
that counted. Burroughs, Hull, Kent
Beasley, Kirk, Parsons and Lounsberry
all played foot ball from start to finish.
Fletcher was Ill, and would not have
been allowed by Coach Wright to play
at all had it not been that it was the
last game OF the season and the doughty
little full back had his heart set on
this final game for so long. He was not
allowed to run any chances In injuring
himself by carrying the ball, however.
For the visitors the game was played
almost entirely by Sheppard, Richard
son, Gatewood and Watson. Mackey
was the only man retired, but Watson
went home with his arm in sling, hav-
ing been laid out as many as q dozen
times during the game.
Many interesting spectators witnessed

were very enthusiastic were DR.. Par
sons, Rev. Scott, General Auditor Was
son, of the Central and a number of
former college men to whom the old
times on other Thanksgiving days We're
wildly recalled. A large number of
ladies was present.
