On The GridirOn At Lake
HiaWatha Park
MI. Vernon Team Played All
Around College Men
And The Score Should Have
Been Larger

In a game of spirit and dash the
feated the heavy Otterbein college
second team by score of to
0 on the Hiawatha park gridiron Sat
urday afternoon. The weather was
ideal for a foot ball game and the loc-
al players seemed to be inspired with
thoughts only of victory. When the
two teams went ON the field for the
preliminary practice, the great con-
trast was Immediately seen as the col
lege men were much heavier and ap-
peared to have things in their favor
but the game told different story.
The ball was kicked off at 2:45
o'clock, Mt. Vernon receiving the kick
at the north goal The ball was re-
turned by Captain Englehardt for
distance of twenty yards before he
was downed. Immediately after this,
Mt. Vernon began a series of brilliant
open plays which took the ball to OF
terbein's 20 yard line, where it was
lost on downs. Otterbein punted in
to neutral territory but it was return
ed to their thirty yard line by brill
liant run. A series of cross bucks took
the pig skin to the college mems
four yard line where by placing Cap
tain Englehardt on the line, Mt. Yer
non tore great hole in the opposite
line and G. Culbertson carried the ball
through the hole across the goal. The
goal kick was missed and the score
stood Mt. Vernon 5, Otterbein O.
Mt. Vernon received the kickoff and
again, by series of steady gains, took
the ball in the shadow of the Otter
bein goal but time was called for the
end of the first period and the chance
for the second touchdown was lost.
The second quarter started by Mt.
Vernon receiving the kickoff. In this
play Half Back Altenberg carried
the ball for distance of forty yards
through the broken Otterbein field.
Mt. Vernon fumbled and Otterbein
received the ball but could not gain
the required distance for a first down.
At this point, Altenberg was thrown
heavily to the ground and quantity
of dirt was thrown in his right eye,
forcing him to retire from the contest
until the end of the period. His place
was taken by End Zeisloft. Russell re-
placed Zeisloft on the end. After this,
for a short time, Mt. Vernon SEEM
ed to lose some of its power and neith-
er side could advance the ball, al
though it changed hands several
times. The half ended with the ball
in Otterbein's possession on the 55
yard line. r.
Captain Englehardt, for Mt. Yer
non, received the kickoff at the be-
ginning of the third quarter and ran
for a distance of thirty yards to his
own As yard line. G. Culbertson cir
cled the end for twenty yards more
but the ball was lost on downs when
line bucks were attempted. In this
period, Mt. Vernon had the ball con-
stantly in the enemy's territory and

at times, within three yards OF the
goal but each time, misfortune OF
some kind would occur and the covet-
ed goal could not be crossed. The
quarter ended with the ball in otter
bein's possession on their own 20 yard
line.
The fourth and possibly the most
exciting quarter was started by Mt.
Vernon again receiving the kickoff.
with Altenberg back in the game, the
locals appeared to take brace and
for time, the college warriors were
handled like children. The Mt. Yer
non backs plowed through the line
and circled the ends for long gains un-
til the oval was deposited on Otter
bein's three yard line. Here, the op-
posing forwards took a brace and held
the locals for downs. Otterbein punt
ed to their own forty yard line and
Captain Englehardt of Mt. Vernon, by
cleverly evading number OF oppos-
ing tacklers, carried the ball across
the goal but the touchdown was not
allowed. owing to some slight techni-
cality in the rules. On the next at
tempt to punt by Otterbein, Mt. Vernon
was off side and penalty OF five
yards resulted. The third attempt
was successful and Otterbein punted
to their fifty yard line. Here, anoth-
er series Of amazingly fast plays, GER
ried the ball back to Otterbein's two
yard line. Mt. Vernon gained one
half yard through center. On the next
play, one yard was lost. At this point
the game was called with the ball in
Mt. Vernon's possession on Otter
bein's two and one half yard line,
third down and the goal to make.
The remarkable playing of Alien
berg was plainly the feature of the
game, although a number of the other
members of the team starred at times.
The brilliant runs by G.. Culbertson
and Captain Englehardt were also SEN
sational Zeisloft played star game
at end, stopping everything in his ter
ritory and at times carrying the ball
for substantial gains. One noticeable
feature of the local team is the great
improvement which they have made
during the two weeks practice after
the defeat at Mansfield. 1t would be
rather risky bet now to place mon
ey on Mansfield if the two teams were
to, clash now. The entire team works
like well oiled machine and the
backs have developed speed, which
is seldom seen in high school foot
ball. =,
From now on, everything will prob
ably be all right as the rooters who
attended the game will spread the
good news and at the next game,
record crowd is expected to witness
the speedy and systematic work of the
local players. The lineup of the teams
who played in Saturdays game was as
