Football Game.

good play means good work. At least
this is the way it goes in Ardmore.
The first football game of the seas
on was played at Lorena Park yes
terday. 1t had been arranged on
short notice, and many who are anX-
i0us to see all the games this year
did not even know of II. There was
enthusiasm. nevertheless, and High
School colors were not wanting in
the grandstand and along the side
lines. The game was played against
Kingston High School. Ten minute
quarters were played.
Ardmore won the kickoff, and the
teams were in action. This quarter
was played about the center of the
field with the advantage slightly
showing in favor of the home team.
However no gains of any conse-
Quence were made by either side. A
three-minute rest, and the teams
were again in action. This quarter
began to show Ardmore some Of
her strength. Anderson at fullback
was making some terrific line
plunges which gave good gains.
lkard at right end showed some fine
lodging and tackling. The feature
OF this quarter was a catch by Stur-
geon, which saved the ball to Ard
more. But the quarter ended with
the score to 0, and the ball not
far from the middle of the field.
Neither team had managed to make
consistent gains with end or quarter
forward pass been used with any
material effect.
The sensation Of the game came
in the third quarter. With the ball
near the center of the field, King
stNn punted to Ardmore. Freeman
fum5led the catch and Dawson. for
Kingston. caught 1t on the bound
and with a clear field was off for
the goal line. 1t was as fine
race as one often sees. Ardmore
WAS after him, but Dawson was like
an antelope fresh started. He placed
the ball neatly behind the goal line,
thus scoring the first touchdown for
Kingston. The pigsfin went wild at
the try for goal and the score stood
TO in favor of Kingston. The
quarter ended without further
event of consequence.
Three minutes, and Ardmore was
on the field to retrieve herself.
The boys got down to business and
showed some clean hard work. They
pushed Kingston farther and farth-
er back into her own territory
until within yard of Kingston's S
goal line. On an attempt by Kings
ten to put the ball out of the dan
ger zone, Freeman covered the ball
behind the goal line and scored
the evening touchdown for Ard
more. With three minutes 20 play
ArdmOre kicked to Kingston again
and soon got possession of the
ball in fifteen yards of the goal
line. They pushed straight on to-
ward the coveted goal with con-
sistent gains, and it seemed certain
that the next down would go over
when time was called and the
score stood 3 to ). The last quar-
ter was easily Ardnores. Besides
those above mentioned, Williams
showed strong at end, while Pitt.
man at half made some good runs,
and Bow showed pretty strong at
guard. Coach Nelson thinks he has
the making OF a winning team.
