Inc MarShalltOWn nigh Scn0Ol 1901
ball team won decided victory
Thanksgiving afternoon over the East
Des Moines high school, by defeating
the visitors to in superb exhibit
ton of clean foot ball. The local
teams ability to successfully handle
the forward pass gained the victory,
and in this particular style of play had
its opponents clearly outclassed. Des
Moines had the advantage of weight,
and showed up better in line smash
ing. On occasions, however, the home
team held like stone wall, and kept
the gains down.
Turbey, Baird, Brophy, Cohen and
Elliott played a good game for the Wis
itors, and were mixed up in practically
everything that was doing. Cohen was
taken out in the second half and
Yeager put in his stead. No substi
tutes were used by the home team.
For Marshalltown Lee and Jay Fet
ters, Kirk, Hull, McCord, Packer, Tom
linson, Woodward and Boucher showed
up in fine form. Lee Fetters' work
with the forward pass, and his broth
er's clever sixty-five yard run for a
touchdown, with splendid interference
on the part of Packer, are what saved
the day. The same play to McCord
came near making another touchdown.
and would had 1t not been that Nc
Cord slipped when within about ten
yards from the goal. Nearly every for
ward pass by Fetters netted gains. The
times, and on one occasion was pen
allied for falling.
Marshalltown played by far the more
spectacular game, due to the punting
and use Of the forward pass. Interior
ence on end runs at times was not
what 1t should have been, and in most
instances was not equal to the form
showed by the visitors. Packers tack
ling was great, and his interference at
times faultless. The beef of the Des
Moines line was a hard matter to ov-
ercome on the smashes, but the WISH
tors were compelled to punt many
times in order to make their gains.
Three times did Des Moines work
the ball to the Marshalltown goal line
in the first half, and three times the
onslaught was repulsed. A fourt at
tempt, however, brought the ball to
the very line, and it was showed over
with two minutes yet to play. Elliott
failed at goal, and it was the miss that
prevented a tie score. j

full, and gives promise of some day
equaling his big brother who was per-
mitted for the first time this season to
witness his younger brother on the
field. "Chic" Kirk has much faith in
this promising youngster, and says
that he will be in Iowa's squad as soon
as he finishes high school. Young
Kinks toe did some good work, and
with another seasons experience he
will be a conner. He is now trifle
taller than the star Iowa half, and
with few more years will doubtless
be heavier.

Coach Emery Auracher, an Iowa
college man, who has had charge Of
developing the East Des Moines team
for the past two years, was one of
the most interested spectators of the
game Mr.. Auracher has made a fine
team in the Des Moines school, and the
defeat by the narrowest of margins
was not in the least disheartening.
There is every prospect that Mar
shalltown will have better team
next season than it has been able to
produce this year. The fact that
foot ball was not permitted last year
has had considerable to do in the
team not getting into the best of shape
this season. BY another year, with
nearly all of the same material to
work with, it is believed that Mar
shalltown will have high school team
hard to beat.
The teams schedule for the season |
is brought to close by the Thanks |
