Second Half.

The second half showed Keokuk
much stronger. The team went after
Ottumwa with a vigor that could not
be Offset and first down was made or
numerous occasions. Mcfarland bored
through off end for from three to ten
yards many times.
The great effort of the game came
when Keokuk had the ball in the mid
die of the field and near the right
side line. Mcfarland was called IN
on and broke through the right side
for eight yards The play was repeat
ed and he gained again Again the
play was repeated and still Ottumwa
could not stop him The other side Of
the line was tried when the men piled
up on the right and again, Mcfarland
went through like battering ram.
Nothing could stop him and the spec.
tators went wild with delight. 1t
could be seen that the plunging full
back was making the necessary gains.
But Pechstein wisely did not change.

ing stamina that was wonderful he
proceeded onward and soon had the
goal to make in eight yards. The
ball was within five yards of the right
side line giving Ottumwa an oppor-
tunity of piling up two deep. The

HercuIean Effort Of Mcfarland Places
the Pigskin Beyond ottum-
was Goal For Second
Time This Season.
THE SCORE WAS 16 TO z
keokuk outpIayed Visitors in Sec
ond Half Of Game But Was
smothered During First
Stage Of Game.

BY the herculean effort of McFar-
land, fullback of the Keokuk High
School team, that player not only
scored the second touchdown made
this season against Ottumwa, but
made 1t possible for Keokuk team to
be credited with outplaying the fast
Ottumwa eleven in the second half of
the game Saturday afternoon at Hub
niger park. The score was Ottuma
16, Keokuk {.
The weather conditions were ideal
for football game. Quite a stiff
wind was blowing but this did not
carry punts for any great dis.
lance. The ground was hard and fast
and speedy football was possible. One
of the largest crowds of the season at
tended the game, the side lines be-
ing thronged with rooters.
TIL. Start.
The game started we'll for Keokuk.
McManus kicked long one to OF
tumwa's ten yard line and the PLAYERS
were down on the men with great
speed. The Ottumwa player
carrying the ball fumbled when
tackled and Keokuk fell on
it. Two rushes were rtied and
with but few yards to go for touch
down fumbled occurred. The ball
was lost in the pass from Pechstein
to Mcfarland. The ball hit McFar
land and bounded up in the air and
Ottumwa's left end was in like flash.
The ball descended directly into his
arms as he rushed to tackle and with
a clear field he ran ninety yards for
touchdown. Captain Parsons was
within six yards of the runner but
was unable to catch him.
This play probably cost Keokuk
victory-and great one it would have
been. The play took much of the
ginger out of the team and .Ottumwa
gained much ground in the next ff-
teen minutes. A touchdown and a
pretty goal from field together with
goal from touchdown gave Ottumwa
16 points. Keokuls braced during the
last few minutes of the half.
Ottumwa worked the forward pass
on several occasions. but
Keokuk seemed only to play end runs
and bucks. Their forward passes went
wild. Quarterback Pechstein made
several very good runs gaining much
ground.

first play was terrific one. McFar-
land went through right tackle with a
plunge, making half the distance. OF
tumwa players went wild But one
team-West Des Moines High School
has scored on them-and they tried
to check the advance. With four
yards to go Mcfarland was held with
out gain on the second down but
there was one chance. The spectators
held their breath for few seconds
and great excitement prevailed. Again
Mcfarland was given the ball and
this time, although tired by his great
exertions, seemed stronger than ever
and when he hit the line spectators
knew it was all off for the Ottumwa
players fell like ten pins and the full
back plunged over the goal line with
the five points. Mcfarland was car
ried around the field by a few fren-
zied spectators and it was some time
before play was resumed.
The second score made by Keokuk
was safety which resulted from
punt. MCGOWAN caught the punt
about yard from goal and was
thrown back over the line.
Nichols was substituted for Weis-
mann in the second half after Keokuk
had time taken out three times.

Because of what He is. Because of
what we are. Because of what He
can make us to become.
Now Jesus is not ranked with other
great men. He is away above other
men and in class by himself. To
compare him to Shakespeare, Wash
ington or Lincoln would be hard
proposition. Jesus says in John IA,
Let not your heart be troubled; We
believe in God, believe also in me. "
Il am the way, the truth and the
light 1t is not hard to believe in
Jesus if you believe in God. He is
not merely to show you the way, the
truth and the light. He is the way,
the truth and the light.
In John, eleventh chapter, we have
the greatest statement Jesus ever
made. Il am the resurrection and
the life; he that believeth on me
though he die, yet shall he live again. -
Jesus not only spoke the sermon
on the mount. He is the sermon on
the mount.
What did the world know about pur-
ity until Jesus came? What do they
know about it in India where the
most disgusting practices are induls-
ed in as a part of their religion.
What did the world know about
love?
"A new commandment l give unto
you, that We love one another" In
the tropics and in Labrador men and
women have given their lives for the
Masters work.
Does it not seem in all candor and
fairness that He who gives us all
these things has a claim on our lives?
In the second place, who is it who
has not knowledge of sin? All of
those present today would gladly
break away from the petty sins if we
would.
A man who deliberately, by choice,
leads sinful life will regret it as the
game never Closes
Men. IF we confess our sins he is
willing to forgive us our sins and to
cleanse US of all unrighteousness
Some of US have turned our backs
upon the things detrimental to our
lives and have been born again in the
spirit.
It is possible to have our lives made
over if We will only acknowledge the
claims Of Jesus Christ.
Thirdly, He can make you to be-
'ome His follower. and Mr.. Sweet !

on their return trip.
All at once the secret.ry's atten-
