The varying moods and emotions repre-

IRON YESTERDAY.

Plays Except Work Of Wallace

With the odds in both weight and

feated the visiting Purcell football
team yesterday by the score of to
o.
Within four minutes after the pig
skin had been put into play, Wallace,
the heavy fullback for the locals.
carried the ball across the visitors
goal for touchdown. making the
only score OF the game. Ardmore fail
ed to kick goal.
The game, while slow, was a good
ore.
For the first fifteen minutes OF
play it seemed that the game would
be fast and hotly contested.
After this, however both teams
played slow.
The visitors punted often and made
practically all their gains on punts.
However at no time was the Ard
more goal in danger, as the visitors
only succeeded in getting within thir-
ty yards OF 1t at any time during the
game.
The locals bucked the visitors line
for almost every gain they made.
The visitors line was weak and the
Ardmore boys tore 1t to pieces. The
locals never seemed TO get off right
however and whenever they broke
through the line the runner was
downed before he could make sub
stantial gain. Wallace made the
touchdown going through the line for
five yard gain.
The Ardmore boys did not play
together as they should. There seem
ed TO be some disagreement among
them. The visitors played together,
but had not had the practice they
should.
