TEAMS PLAY
A TIE GAME

The Dauville High School foot ball
team met the Bloomsbury High School
team on Normal field at Bloomsbury
on Saturday afternoon and after a con =
test of 35 minutes the score stood
Bloomsbury 0. Danville 0, and while
the ball was almost continuously in
Bloomsbury territory, our boys were
unable to get it over the line. Tie
boys are beginning to show greatly
improved form az a result Of constant
and careful training under Prof. Tay-
lor. and the game on Saturday show
ed that the High School team is a
strong lot of players who compare fav
orably with teams of the same class
throughout this section. The team felt
confident of winning Saturdays game
and while they failed in this they pre-
vented their opponents from winning
which is next thing to victory.
The 40 car on the Danville and
Bloomsbury trolley line carried the
team, and large crowd of students to
the scene of battle. The ladies were
gaily sttired and wore large punches
of the Danville colors. orange and
purple. and their presence seemed to
inspire confidence and determination
on the part Of the players. to win.
The game was started promptly at
80, Bloomsbury kicking Off, and
Sechler catching the ball made Is
yard run before Bloomsbury could
down him, after which by continuous
line playing, Danville made several 5
or 10 yard gains. Taylor. Dreifuss and
Spade, proved themselves excellent
gamers.
Bloomsbury seemed to brace up at
this time. and held Danville for two
downs, and as Danville was unable to
kick, on account OF the wind" she
gained the necessary ground ny fake
play, Danv.lle continued to buck the
line until within twenty yards of
Bloomsbury line, when the ball was
lost on a tumble. Bloomsbury then
attempted 10 hurdle but failed, and a
kick which quickly followed was
blocked by Dreifuss. Bloomsbury re-
covered the ball but was unable to
make any material gains before time
was called and the first half ended.
The second half started with Danville
kicking off and with the favorable
wind tho kipk Drovad to ba @ varv Ionu
one; before BlooGsburg gained many
yards Danville tackled and held them.
The second half was a series of
rushes and plunges and it was impos-
sible for either side to make inroads
on the other and the game ended with
out either side being able to score.

rough. looking individual, who block
ed his path ~ stepping in front OF
him and, pointing large revolver at
his head. demanding that Stringer IN
double quick time hand over his mon

Although taken by surprise. .Stringer
was not slow 10 act. Instead of weak

a struggle, the railroad man showed

ing placed on mere equal footing with
his antagonist. Stringer dropped has

The two clinched and a desperate
struggle ensued, lasting for fully five
minutes Strlnger had almost over
powered his opponent, when the latter
renewed his efforts 20 escape.

bridge finally ended by both men fall
