In a snappy game yesterday after
noon, Richmond high school lowered
its colors for the second time this
season to the Steele high school of
Dayton. In the first half Steele simp-
ly ripped holes through the locals line
and skirted the ends at will. r. H. S.
seldom had the ball in its possession,
but when 1t did the Dayton defense
could not be penetrated. In the sec
ond half the locals played a desperate
game and prevented Dayton from scor-
ing. Frequently r. H. s. would make
decided gains against Steele but their
attack was not consistent and was
marred by fumbling, consequently
what few chances the locals had of
scoring were thrown away.
The game was open from start to
finish and from the spectators point
of view was a pretty contest to wit
ness. Both elevens worked the for
ward pass frequently but the visitors
excelled in this play.
Most of Dayton's gains in the first
half were made between the locals
ends and tackles. The tackles were
slow in breaking up interference while
The ends missed tackle after tackle.
The backs also played poor second
line of defense. In the second half the
line improved greatly in it's defensive
work while McGraw. who went in at
end, added great strength to the team.
In the first half Steele scored after
D minutes Of play after two pretty
Forward passes, five and runs for
short gains and four line plunges
Deeter. the crack Dayton half, carried
the ball over and Pierce kicked goal
