QUINCY, Ill. Oct 15.-Keokuk
high school was defeated here today
by Quincy High, 2 to 0, in one of the
prettiest games ever played in Quin
c..
Quincy's only score was made on
a safety when McManus allowed a
punt to sail by him and cross the
goal line. The play resulted in long
wrangle between officials, Keokuk con-
tending, that McManus had not touched
the ball. The pigskin passed over his
/ head. McManus jumped high into the
! air and many declare that he did not
touch the ball. The referee ruled that
he did and when the quarterback
4 fell on the ball behind the line Quin
cy scored two points.
i Except in the first and second
halves, when Quincy played strong
game, the visitors had a shade the
better of it. The fourth period of
! play brought spectators crowding to
the side line by some of the most
brilliant work seen on the local
gridiron in several years. Quincy adj
vanced the ball to keokuk's six yard
line, where Keokuk made firm re-
sstance and three times Quincy fail
ed to puncture the line for the, re-
!, CURED ten yards and touchdown.
, Keokuk gained possession of the
ball and started triumphant march
to their goal line. Intermingling
: straight football, consisting of tackle
smashes and end runs with numerous
/ forward passes successfully pulled
) Off Keokuk carried the ball to with
in six inches of the goal and was
3 only cheated of victory by time.
7 Bowlby, playing a spectacular game,
made several end runs that fairly
) thrilled the spectators, while
: Hawkes. the plunging fullback,
: smashed through for ten yards re-
/, peatedly
{ McManus hurled forward passes
a true to their mark, while Davis es-
caped with several of them for good
gains. The ball was taken to within
: five yards of the goal line when 1t
r was announced that there was but
fifteen seconds to play. Hawkes.
: plowed through until it looked as if
r he was over the line. When the um.
: pire located the ball it was six inches
g short and before the second play
was reeled off time was called
The greatest defensive star of the
S game was Meinhardt, of the visiting
J. contingent He was all that saved
r Keokuk from a fierce onslaught Of
e Quincy through the line. Playing de
S fensive center Meinhardt stopped
: play after play, while the Keokul
J. ends tacllling sure, cut off many
n end runs.
Quincy had shade during the
r first two periods, while Keokuk was
strong in the last two. In the hal
the visitors, believing that more
speed was needed in the back field
, made two shifts Bowlby, the speed,
!. end, was put in half supplantin,
, Pease. who went to center. Meade
n took Bowlby's place at end and play
d ed stiff game.
