VENATCHEE TOOK CLOSE
GAME FROM QUEEN ANNE
By Score of Is to IA Red pple Team Had Closest Call
of Season Seattle Grou nds Were Slippery Thus
Putting Local Team to Disadvantage Queen Anne
Tried Dark Trick That Sgnally Failed.

heard several of the home players
say to each otner-"Not yet. Wait
till it gets little darker" A
little III pound wonder seemed TO
be the object of especial interest IN
this conversation; so Gensinger
watched him in particular. He had /
ON long loose sweater. Finally,
when it was geeting quite dark, the
ball snapped to the Little Wonder"
He quickly tucked it under his sweat
er, but made motion as though he
were passing it to another player. The
whole team then tore down the field
in criss-cross of interference as
though to protect man carrying the
ball. The trick worked on ten OF
the Wenatchee players who fought
TO hold the line. Meanwhile the
Little Wonder" was quietly stepping
back and away from the scrimmage
and just started to run when Gen.
singer pounced upon him and carried
him back ten yards. That was the
blow that killed the Little Wonder"
Ross and kOehler Stars.
On defense, Floyd Ross was the
bright particular star. He made two
brilliant runs which prevented touch
downs. Queen Anne men had secur-
ed the ball and made a 20-yard run
in the one case and 40 yards in the
other. In each case it was Floyd
Ross who took after the fleeing run
ners and overtooi: them before the
goal was reached while thousands OF
hearts were beating wildly in sus-
pense. He tackled low and brought
his men to the ground instantly.
On offense, Koehler is known in
Seattle as the human bullet" Ow-
! ing to the slippery field and the con-
dition' of Sterling's ankle, Cookie
was thrown into the brunt of the
| fight. Time after time he went
through the line until it would seem
that the limit of human endurance
must soon be reached. His punish
ment was terrible, but he always
came up with greater bulldog tenaci-
ty than ever and never once failed
to make his gains.
In spite of his bad shoulder, Tweed
played the game wonderfully and
made one of the touchdowns. In
the second quarter, he was so badly
injured that he was taken out for y
while and Otto Ross took his posit-
ion.
Pike received applause even from
the Seattle rooters for his excellent
passing of the ball and recovering of
fumbles Foster saved the day by
the heady game he played at all times
keeping the whole team balanced. His
kicking was a sensation,
Won Against Odds.
That Wenatchee has by far the SUI
perior team is conceded by all who
saw the game yesterday which is
spoken of on all sides as the most
sensational exhibition of high school
football ever seen in the Northwest.
Queen Anne's only disadvantage was
in weight-about seven pounds to the
man less than Wenatchee. The visit.
ors had four serious handicaps: 81
A wet field and slippery ball to which
they We're unaccustomed; CD Steri-
ing, Wenatchee's star ground gamer,
was almost helpless with his bad
ankle; CD The crowd of 5000 root
ers cheered themselves hoarse for
Queen Anne. The Wenatchee boys
fere unused to hearing such hostility
expressed against them; (4) Condi-
tions compelled them to play a Diff
ferent kind of game from the open
work in which they excel.
Wenatchee won on straight foot
ball and earned every one of the ID
points. All of Queen Anne's score
was obtained on fiukes.
Seattle professional football men
say that more different plays were :
made in the game yesterday after
noon than in any high school game
they ever saw. The consensus of
opinion is that if Queen Anne had put
up such an article of football the
week before against Broadway, the
result then would have been far diff
ferent. On that occasion, Broadway
made its one touchdown on a fiuke.
The fact that Wenatchee positively
earned every one of its points yester-
day by straight football and against
great odds leads to the belief that
she has team which could defeat
Broadway with less effort than was
demanded to whip Queen Anne.
Broadway or Aberdeen Next.
The Wenatchee eleven are jubilant.
