The Arena of Sport
Invincibles Won, S to o.

For the second time the Ironclads
have gone down to defeat at the hands
of the InvincibleS.
The football game at the ball park
on Thanksgiving day between the
two local aggregations resulted in
victory for the lnvncibles by the score
of to 0. The field was in the most
unsatisfactory condition possible and
the inClement weather kept many en-
thusiasts away from the contest. The
lnvincible aggregation scored early in
the first half, Perkins, their left end,
getting down the field under a punt
kicked by an Invincible back in time
to land over the line with the pigSkin
before the Ironclads could secure pos
session of it, Up until that time and
forever after during the contest neith-
er side had the advantage. Most of
the game was played near the center
of the field though the Ironclads
twice carried the oval within striking
distance of their opponents goal only
to lose it by a tumble or failure to
make yardage. The backs of the
Ironclads were extremely unfortunate
in fumbling the ball while the Invin-
cibles lost only few times in this
manner. The victors played to-
gether nicely aiding each other both
on defense and offense. The IRON
clads showed lack of practice and
teamwork, though some excellent
individual playing was done.
The stars of the winning team were
Hanna, at quarter, whose kicking was
above the average; Arnold, at full; :;
Parsons, half; Perkins and Green
ough, ends and Lukens, tackle. All
the players of the team proved de-
pendable whenever called upon. l..
Robbins, referee, and P. M. Clan
vile, umpire, were the officials of the
game. A fair sized crowd saw the
contest, which the Ironclads had ad-
vertised as a burial of the Invincibles.
1t wasn't.
Three years ago Thanksgiving day
two local teams under the same names
played contest and the Invincibles
won, 10 to o. In this game, as was
the case last Thursday, the Ironclads
were picked as having good chances
for victory.

When their own people
Neglect no opportunities.

such intention as yet. But he is not
failing TO hear advice from his
friends not to do so. Active orga-

claring that it will be impossible to
line up the organization for Judge
Mann.
He has heard from his own coun-
ty that his followers would not go
with him with any degree of una
nimity into the Mann camp.
