Hard in Last Half.
A drop kick sent by Captain Win
ters' toe from the thirty yard line,
true to its mark between the goal
post, with less than three minutes Of
time left to be playes. gave Quincy
"a 3 to victory over Keokuk High
Saturday afternoon after gruelling
contest at Hubinger Park. which for
a time threatened to add another to
the long string of Keokuk-QuincyI
ties.
The kick, coming as 1t did, at one
OF the physiological moments of the
game, proved the climax of the in
tensely interesting struggle.
The feature play came but few
moments after Quarterback McManus
for Keokuk had essayed to send a
drop kick between the bars, when
better judgment should have prompt
ed the use of Fullback Meinhardt on
series of line plunges. with the
goal line only twenty yards distant,
and at least six minutes to play. The
kick by McManus was blocked In
the line of scrimmage and a Quincy
player rolled on the ball. Quincy was
unsuccessful in two attempts to
gain grounds and kicked, the ball
falling into the waiting hands Of
McManus in nidheld. He caught it
Clearly, but when tackled. dropped

man scooped It up and was not
nailed until he had planted 1t twenty
Yards farther down the .eld. At this
point the game became intense, and
the struggle was keen. A forward
pass gained six yards for Quincy and
q second play put it over the thirty
yard line With the time cut down
to but a few minutes. yes, even sec
onds, Captain Winters dropped back
for kick, and before spectators
realized what had happened the ball
was soaring far over the cross bar
and between the posts
The ball was kicked to Keolsnk and
rushed to midfield On a series OF
plays when time was called.
Comparison Of Play.
A resume of every play in the game
would show that the opposing teams
we're well matched as to comparative
strength. Quincy displayed more
know1edege of the new style .of play
and presented an attack that was
more varied. Keo1uk was superior
on straight foothall.as was demonstrat
ed during the last two periods o
play Forward passes were worked
with little success by either sid
and the play at times was made mis-
cradle by the many fumbles by boil
