CAUGHT MAPPING

Could Not Hold Bur-
gan's Hopefuls.
BY Frank A. Mclnerney.

Before a crowd of nearly 1000 spec
tators, the North high team defeated
the Mortified high yesterday afternoon
at North Athletic field by score Of
16 to 6. The teams were equal in
weight and for. the greater part of the
game were about even on ground gain
ing, but after the visitors had made a
touchdown, the local boys seemed to
their own, way Neither team used
the forward pass to any extent, altho
both tried it without a gain. Punting
was the whole, show and from the be-
ginning to the end kicks Of all descrip-
lions were sent off. 81.
!, The visitors got the jump on Bur
gan s team and inside Of eight minutes
Of play Moses went around Mi1gate
Greives kicked goal. but this was all
for the visitors. Casey held a little
whispered conversation with his team
and everyone went in to tie the score,
but in this they failed, as Casey missed
goal after Chicken had made touch
down. ;..-,.,n
Chicken was the hero Of the game for
North high and it was his nerve and
headwork that saved the blue and white
team from defeat. He was always good
for gains of four or five yards and oc-
casionally went s thru the line and
around the ends for fifteen and twenty
yards. Armstrong at center outplayei
his man and time after. time he piled up
plays that looked good for yards:
| Knable and E. Leighton took care Of
their side Of the line in fine style and
both ran we'll with: the ball. Casey
was little off at times on punts, but
he has the goods in him, as was shown
when he carried the ball.
Lee played left half for the first ten
minutes of play and was starring at
nearly every turn, but he got into an
argument with an opponent and was
forced to leave the field in: favor OF
the Mortified man was holding thru
the half Long end runs were made
by Lauritzen and R. Leighton, the for
mer going seventy yards for touch
down. Jamesgard and Bailey were the
stars for the visiting team, altho Clarke
and Moses played hard :
The game started by Moses kicking
off forty yards for the Mortified team
to Leighton, who made a return, Of fve
yards. Two tries at the line failed
to make the necessary gain and Lee
punted thirty yards to Dixie, who was
