Sporting Editor EVENING JOURNAL.
Kindly allow me space in your paper
to express my opinion OF this much
talked-of Lincoln Orange game. which
game. l believe. will not be played dur
ing 1908. l think that Mr.. Mannering
manager of the Lincoln team, is doing
right by not catering to every little
howl of the Orange management
Orange was challenged by the Lincoln
team on November 3. and as they
failed to acknowledge Lincoln during
the football season, / think Lincoln's
sensible and intelligent manager. as he
has always showed himself to be. is
acting just as a thoughtful head Of
any branch Of sport should do ! am a
Parkside rooter, and always have been.
], of course. witness the Lincoln- Park
side contest of November 81. and the
play shown by Lincoln's men on that
day. especially their defensive work.
fully convinced me that they are
Oranges equals, If not superlors.,
st. Elizabeth defeated New Castle by
the score Of IL to in fifty minutes Of
play. Two weeks following | was a
witness at the Lincoln New Castle
game, which resulted IN a victory FOR
Lincoln by the score Of 51-O. in twenty
eight minutes of play We all know
that Beatty. of Lincoln, is the most re-
liable drop kicker that this State has
produced for years. But listen: There
have been three full games that Lin
coins opponents have failed to make a
first down. one game being against the
favorite Parkside team. The game al
New Castle there was one first down
made by New Castle. and that on a
/ fiuke forward pass. The Fort Dupont
team, which defeated the Orange team
go. only made three first downs on
Lincoln. and their other opponents
| Fort Mott. made one. Think OF it-in
seven games played only five first
downs made against this great Lincoln
team. In fact, I consider this team Ia
possess the greatest defensive power
of any team ever organized I'm this
state. l. along with the many others
would like to see this game pulled of
during the football season. and as the
public knows Is the season. and not In
basketball season. to decide champion
ships on the gridiron. Lincoln ha.
played and defeated every team Of rec
ognized ability I'm the state. with tho
one exception Of Orange. which team
rs stated above. refused to play. There
fore Lincoln. by defeating the For
DUPONT team. which was victoriou,
over Orange. hold clear title to the
