ShEAR[D THE
JEROME LAMBS
Sweeley's Men Too Much for
North Side footba|lists.
SNOW AND MUD GIVE ADVANTAGE
TO HEAVIER TEAM.
By Score Of Ten to Nothing, Everett
Sweeley and His Team Prove Too
Fast for kinney's Lambs.

From the amount of excitement in
Twin Falls on Thanksgiving day one
could get the impression that real
varsity foot ball game was pending.
And from the number of foot ball
stars lined up on both the Twin Falls
and Jerome teams the people could ac-
tually count on seeing a good game.
This expectation was not far wrong
and it was worth the price of admis-
sion just to see some of the old stars
with the fire of battle in their eyes.
Sweeley Of the Michigan university,
looked like a giant when encased in
his foot ball togs. Chaplin and Kinney
of old Yale, for Jerome, played with
the same fighting spirit, which has
dominated the contests of their Alma
Mater
Ed Kuhl and Charles Null, with the
memories Of the golden college days
| acted as referees and umpire, and aid
ed materially in quelling the pugnac-
ious old timers
| The field, although it had been
cleared of the drifts, was still covered
for the most part, with sticky snow,
making fast plays impossible.
The first half, which was twenty
| five minutes, was full of snap and
| vtgor, and in less than five minutes
! from the whistle Twin Falls had
forged the ball over Jeromes line for
th9 nrst touchdown. Capt. Sweeley
failed to kick goal. On the kickoff
however, the star full-back booted the
sphere from the kickoff to the cen.
ter of the field and square over the
posts in one of the longest kicks of the
game Jerome brought the pigskiI
out to the twenty-five-yard line anl
kicked to Twin Falls, the ball beine
returned five yards. Then began {
procession to the goal in which the
visitors we're unable to withstand thu
line onslaughts OF the heavy Twi1
Falls back-field.
The remainder of the half was spen
in Twin Falls attempting to score OF
their opponents by the Same kind o
straight foot ball, during which TIM
Jerome secured the ball on a tumble
and sent Chaplin around the end for I
sensational run which was checked b.
Sweeley. The ball again in the poses
sion of the home team 1t was advanced
.. | to within ten yards OF Jerome's goal b.
hard plunges by Thomas, and end rum
: by Botsford and whel
time was called, ending the half. Dur
ing this half very little time was takel
out for injury to the players and tn
score of to 0 shows that there wa
, little difference in the two teams.
J The second half started of with Je
rome making some good gains througl
Twin Falls line and especially SO Q
> some Of Chapin's end runs, whicl
! made the local roOters hold thei
: breaths until the swift Jerome bac
/ was downed by Sweeley. After abou
| 1--WE minutes of play in which bot
| teams resorted to kicking, won
!. derful twenty-five yard forward pas
: by Sweeley, which was just as won
| derfully caught by Botsford, cal
ried the ball another twenty-five yard
: for the last touchdown Of the gam'
1 Twin Falls failed to kick goal. Th
4 half closed with the ball close to j
t rome's goal. During this short ha
e two men were injured, Burton {
J. Twin Falls being obliged to retire b
cause Of q sprained knee, while CHI
