Bisbee daily review., 1909-11-27
tBy Lee Hamilton.l

ly 500 people who shouted themselves
 hoarse, Bisbee high schools foothajl
 team marched its way through the
 ranks of the Douglas high to a Tur-
 key-day victory at Warren Thursday afternoon, thereby not only satisfying inter-city revenge for all previous de-
 feats, but annexing the championship of the southwest as we'll.
 Bisbee's victory has 8 more far reaching effect for the reason that in the defeat administered to Fl Paso high few weeks ago it defeated a team that beat the Fl Paso Military institute. which had before beaten the Texas Agricultural college and which latter team cleaned up nearly every thing in sight in its vicinity before go- ing down before the soldiers. All of which goes to show of what a classy team Bisbee can boast.
 Douglas simply wasn't there. Their one touchdown, scored on blocked punt and a tumble, should neYer-haye been registered against Bisbee. Their heavier line gave way at will before the persistent rushes of the locals. Bisbee broke through at wir. Douglas could do no persistent advancing. Time and again their plays were lrck- en up back of the line, and Ted Rice. their star halfback. was thrown for repeated losses. Even their end runs failed to work.
 Bisbee didn't lose heart bit when Douglas drew first blood in about the
 first ten minutes of play; but just buckled in more determined than ever and encouraged by the persistent shouts of the rooters. plowed their way through to a tie score at the end of the first half and covered them selves with glory in the second by smashing through for. 9 touchdown in the first eight minutes of play.
 The O'Malleys, Walter and John, Roy and Sam Benton and Hoesch at full, were Bisbee's shining lights. Beaton, who went from his old job at full to tackling position, and Coombs. went through that Douglas line as if it were composed of pasteboard, and what they did and the results thereof was shame. For Douglas, Ted Rice was the only one who. made any sub stantial gains, even Spikes and Fisher the supposed cracks, being unable to accomplish anything.
 The refereeing of Lockwood of Doug las, caused protests from the umpire. His absolute ignorance of the rules Of the game was responsible for the rule book being brought out and displayed for his benefit. The crowd hooted him constantly.
 Twenty-Five and twenty minute halves were played Douglas won the toss and defended the south goal with the wind which blew almost a gale, at their backs. Douglas kicked of. Bisbee returned five yards. An on side kick gained 20 yards. Another was tried and recovered by Douglas. Bisbee then proceeded to hold for downs, their plays being broken up back of the line and their backs thrown for losses. Bisbee worked the ball on couple of smashes and an on-side kick to Douglas 1O-yard line. where Douglas held for downs. After an exchange of punts Bisbee tried a place-kick and lost the ball on a tumble. After a see-saw of five or six downs Douglas made long punt which went down on the wind. Bisbee held twice. Douglas punted to Bis bees 5-yard line. Instead of falling on the ball and bunting out. Roy Ben. ton tried pickup and fumbied. Ted Rice, on the spot, snapped up the ball and went across for a touchdown. Rice missed an easy goal. Score, Douglas 5, Bisbee 0.
 Douglas kicked of. Benton and O'Malley made ter yards each. By smashes Bisbee goth the ball to Doug las 20-yard line. Douglas then tried the old game, getting the halves in motion to pull Bisbee of-side, the the ball. The referee then Bisbee yards. but as they
