LONGMONT WINS CHAMPIONSHIP
Defeat Englewood ON Muddy Field
BY Score of 13 to q.

I Outclassing their opponents in
every department of the gridiron
game, the husky and heady Long
mont High school eleven, champions
of Colorado, decisively defeated the
Englewood team, interscholastic
champions of Cook county. Illinois.
by the score of 13 to 0 yesterday af-
ternoon before an enthusiastic
crowd of 5000 spectators at Broad
way baseball park.
First HALF
Near their own twenty-five yard
line, violating every precept of safe
playing. especially on wet field
and with a wet ball, Englewood tried
forward pass. II failed and they
were penalized to within the shadow
OF their own goal posts. Then 4
poor pass from center shot the ball
over the Englewood line, so that the
fullback could not kick it out He
fell on the ball This scored the
rare play called safety, and two
points were registered for Longmont
Secoad Half.
Longmont showed real class at the
opening of the second half. H.
Scruby made a sensational run,
nearly getting free for touchdown.
Shortly afterward, however, Long
mont tore loose with run nearly
half the length of the field for a
touchdown.
The visitors disputed the score on
the ground that the ball had been
stopped during its progress. but 1.ef-
cree Claude Rothgeb ruled other
wise. The goal was kicked, making
the score s to O.
Shortly afterward Longmont punt
ed. The Englewood safety man miss
ed the ball and a Longmont lad
grabbed it and raced over the line
for a touchdown. This made the
score 13 to 0, the try at goal being
missed.
