TOOK IT WITH THEM
Newton VIII See What Wich-
ita Mud Is Like.
WERE ALL HEAVYWElGHTS
But High School Came Out
Victorious.

The Wichita High School football team
defeated the team from Newton by a
score of 10 3. 1t was q great game.
and those who stood in the rain TO see the
game, got their moneys worth. The
game was played in the mud that was
good and deep ana when the game was
over a person could hardly tell the men
who participated from a pile Of mud.
ICd was everywhere, all over their
clothes. down their necks and in their
shoes. in their hair, and their faces We're
covered three inches deep. The field after
the game looked like a piece of land after
that Buffalo had waIlowed over. There
were holes large enough TO bury a horse
and the spectators We're called upon to
help dig the players out Of the mire
When the uen lined UP they looked like
a nuG fence and when the line moved
forward IL looked like q load Of black
dirt Bach man carried zoo pounds of
dead weight it w&s al mud and water
1t was predicted last night that if the
boys would take of their suits without
disturbing the coating there would be
a lne foundation for a plaster cast for
some striving young artist and Jhat II
would have one great advantage-iJ
would be natural
The boys started playing at go but
had not PLAYED hve minutes until the
whole CROWD had 10 stop and get boards
and scrape each other Whenever there
was big scrimmaee the people who
braved the elements TO see the game, had
10 dig the men out oI the mud in order
that they might see the rest of the game
and besides that did not Ike the idea OF
haVine cemetery in that 1eighborhO0d.
The boys worked hand playing ball, but
the spectators worked harder digging
them out so they could play.
Neither team had any advantage Of
weight because their suits were so near
the same size that the mud made Up for
the lack of weight in men.
The game was called at $3.50 p m The
High School kicked off to Newton and
after "a few minutes playing High School
held Newton for downs and took the BAH
over for "a touchdown and kicked goal;
the bah at the end of the second half was
on the High school 20-yard line. Score:
High School g; Newton, O.
After q dve-miuute interIaission New
ton kicked off To High School, who punted
and Newton, by steady line bucks. car
riei the bah over the goal line, the goal
being missed
High school again kicked off to Newton
ana High School held them Tor downs.
and at this point the High School began
TO set into the game making several
good gains around the eud. Tine was
called with the BAH on NewtOns 25-yard
line. Jones did good lire bUciung for New
ton and an of their men were i'm the game.
The High Schools were there, too. the
ends doing noteworthy work. Sternberg
made several good gains around end.
The following was the lineup.
Newton Positions High school
