EAST IS VICTOR
OVER SOUTH SIDE.
First Championship Game of the
Season Was Fast and
Clean.

East high was too much for Ellis southsiders
in their game at North high field yesterday at
ternoon, the boys from over the river winning |
the first championship game of the season. The
teams were about even In weight, but the Grim
showed better team work and but for fire.
Quent fuEbling would have run up larger
score. =,
South was crippled less by the abb
sence of Capron Philips, Brooks, HORT and
ostrem, and Ellis deserves credit for the show
ing that the remainder of his squad made.
The rules seemed to puzzle both teams at
times and the forward pass was failure in
every trial except one South once making seven,
times, but in each the advance was no
more than the distance Of the pass. Only once
did attempt hurdle, and this was
merely an accident, was not protested when
the umpire refused to penalize the offender.
Punting was the main feature OF the game, and
both Martin and Wyman for East and Gunderscn
for South made long kicks.
Martin Star.
Captain Martin at quarter for East high was
the star Of the game, running OF signals rap
idly. tackling accurately and always being able
to make gains on quarterback plays In the
last half of the game Gunderson punted to
| Martin East's 50-yard line, and the speedy
quarter thru the whole South team, scoring
the second touchdown of tho game. Hunt and
Hawley, halves and Wyman, fnllback for the
crimsons, constituted fast backfeld, and one
which was able to make ground thru any part of
South's line at most any time. Hunt Is new
man at East bigh, coming from the st. Louis,
Mo-, Central high. He Is light weighing about
145, but is of the shiftiest men in high
school football in this city. Captain Gunderson
at fullback, Hartzell and Floback at halves and
or the southtown eleven. altho Rigler at end and
Kelly at right tackle deserve mention
! Ralph Canterbury, right end for East high,
ha Hl
: Martin injured his knee and was forced to re-
tire, Thompson taking his place at quarter
South high did not use single substitute m the
to end and Rigler to quarter after the former
had injured his arm.
