Warren II. Hallock O.
Very nearly equal in weight, the
foot ball teams of Warren and Hal
lock lined up on the gridiron at Hal
lock last Saturday afternoon. The
weather which had been threaten
ing for some time, cleared and af-
torded an ideal day for foot ball
game. The only drawback was a
strong wind which blew diagonally
across the gridiron and prevented
the kicking of several goals. Ex-
cept a little dispute between the Of
hclals, perfect harmony and good
feeling existed between the two
teams. Each team was afraid of the
other but both were determined to
put up their best game. The game
was remarkably clean and free from
roughness. The scratches and
bruises sustained by the. players
were slight and soon forgotten.
NO one had to leave the game and
very little time was taken out. A
little play showed that Hallock's s
strongest point was the center of
the line while Warren was STRONGER
in the ends and backs. Hallock
tried end plays only three or four
times and each time lost from five to
ten yards. All of their gains were
made through the center Of the line.
On the other hand Warren made
most of their gains around the end
and only occasionally tried center
smash. Warren kicked off all but
two times when Hallock chose the
kickoff. The Warren boys were
much better runners than the Hal
lock boys. Three times Hallock got
away with the ball but the runner
was downed by the faster Warren
AptnYers. - Toward the END of the
secSnd half Robertson got. the ball
and ran with it to Warren's 20 yard
line but was downed by Beach.
Warren plays fast; fast for the
first game of the season; faster yet
considering the limited amount of
practice, and still faster than Coach
Johnson's fondest hopes was the
playing of the Warren team. When
the game was called at 1:3O, War
ren got the wind and the kickoff.
The referee blew his whistle and
Beach trotted leisurely up to the
ball and landed it on Hallock's 25-
yard line where it was muffed, then
caught and advanced 10 yards.
Hallock advances the ball 10 yards
more and then fumbles. Warren
takes the ball and passes it to Beach
who runs around the end 45 yards
and over the line for a touchdown.
Time, min. 13 sec. Beach kicks
goal.
This and the succeeding play in
which a touchdown was scored by
Sather after a spectacular run of 80
yards, took the breath from Hallock
and they didn't entirely recover
until the beginning of the second
half.
Warren's playing was marked by
little fumbling, Hallock's by more.
The game, with variations, was a
succession of long end runs followed
by try-at-goal. Early in the sec-
ond half Hallock rallied and held
Warren sufficiently to require al
most 5 minutes each for three touch
downs. Total, 13 touch-downs, 6
goals. Score, II to 0.
Individual players to be CON-
mended are O'Brien, Hallocks right
tackle and Robertson, Hallock's S
right half-back. Warren's star
players were Beach, Loughridge
and Sather, who were well second
cd by all the rest of the team. The
lineup was as follows:
