GARY TEAMS ARE
DEC|SNELY BEATEN
Plucky Elevens from Gary
High School Swamped
on Saturday.
REGULARS WIN OUT EASILY
Scrubs" Are Game But They Lose to
More Experienced Eleven By
Big Score.

Owing to the fact that the eleven re-
presenting the Hammond high school
did not have a game scheduled for last
Saturday and was desirious of engag
ing in a practice game before the cru
cial contest with Crown Point next
Saturday, game was, scheduled with
Gary late Friday night and was played
last Saturday at Harrison Park
The Hamond team won by a score of
% to 0 and later the Hammond scrubs
defeated the Gary scrubs by the score
of "a to 0. The game between the
regulars was for the purpose of giving
both teams practice and the game be-
tween the reserves was for the purpose
of developing new players for both the
teams.
The Hammond boys were very much
pleased to have the Gary boys come
over and help them out for the big
game next Saturday and as q result of
the courtesy there was an entente cor
dale created between the athletes Of
the two cities which promises much for
the future
Ebert and Murray Out.
| Owing to the fact that the Gary team
was very much lighter than the Ham
perience its members requested that
Ebert and hurry be not allowed to par
ticipate.
This request was readily granted as
these men were very much heavier than
the others and would have made the
game needlessly rough and the teams
very unequal in weight.
| The game was a fine exposition OF
/ MI
frequently resorted to by both teams
and they used it to great advantage
| The weather was splendid and al
though the game was not well adver-
tised there as a good sized crowd in
attendance. The Gary boys put UT a
good game and were complimented for
| their gentlemanly conduct and their
craftsmanship.
The Hammond boys believe that Gary
was justified in asking that Ebert and
hurry be kept out of the game on ac-
count of their size and the fact that
both of the boys will easily make the
all Lake county and all northern In
diana teams
The game itself was an open one from
start to finish. On several occasions
the visiting team was forced to punt
thus giving Summers of the Hammond
team a chance to show his ability ir
going through broken field.
There were many long runs which
served TO make the game interesting
to the spectators and many of the
touchdowns of the local teams were
made in this manner.
Coach Sargent of Gary said that ht
was very well pleased with the show.
ing his boys made against the heavier
and more experienced Hammond team
He says he expects to profit greatly
from the experience he had here. Sew
eral times during Saturdays game h,
noted places here he could make i'm
provements and will profit thereby
Coach Alice, who wears the smile tina
won't come off, was well pleased witt
!. the game and thinks there will be grea
improvement in the team hen it play
Crown Point here next Saturday. H
was also able to pick out several veal
places in his team and these will b
remedied before the game at the week
end.
Hammonds first touch down wal
made when Graves recovered a tumble
ball and ran down the field for a touc
down. From that time on the Ham
mond goal was never in danger.
