Bellevue defeated Peru by score OF 10 to
3, the scoring being done In the last half.
Until the last three minutes OF play the
score remained tO5 and the result looked
Ike p tie. But Bellevue took a brace and,
like n stone hurled from a cataDult, steadily
| moved across the field for n touchdown.

the crippled condition of their men the
knocker on foot ball would be entirely

to the hospital at once and not TO the
gridiron.
