LEAD WON
SATURDAY
Football Team From Upper
Hills Turns the Trick and
Won 6 to 3.
VERY EVENLY MATCHED
Wilber's Drop Kick in Third Period Gave
Locals Score--Trick Forward Pass by
Lead Wins Game.

Coach Sterritt, of Lead, and his bunch
of football warriors arrived i'm the oitv
on Friday evening over the Burlington
for the game that was thought to be one
OF the easy games of the season, and
we're compelled to return home sorely
disappointed over the small score.
1t was rumored that the gladiators
from the Upper Hills were confident of
80 to victory while the locals were
fully as confident that there was a
possibility of winning if every man
played the game, all together, and for
the High School instead of the indi-
viduAl.
The stonewall defense of both teams
showed, early in the game, that it was
to be bitter contest, and the surmise
proved correct from the sounding of
the whistle until the game closed with
victory perched Oh the banner of the
enemy by the score of 6 to 3. Promptly
at $50 Huebner kicked off to Lead
City on their ten yard line. Now
began the real struggle. Confident
that they could easily penetrate the
defense and sure of quick touchdown
the Lead backfield battered them.
selves against Leach and Huebner.
against Strouse and Juckett, but to
no apparent advantage. The much
vaunted "a" formation, with which
Lead defeated the locals three weeks
before, was solved from the start, and
the visitors we're forced to uncover all
the tricks in the bag. Battling fieroely
during the first two periods of play,
the ball at one time in the hands of
one, then again going to the opponents,
Travelled up and down the field, the ad-
vantage at one time with one team, at
another with the other, but neither
goal in danger.
The third period opened with some
extra 'pep" on the part of the locals.
BY a series of line plays, off tackle
bucks, and forward passes, the locals
carried the ball to the % yard line and
WILDER dropped back to the 30 yard
line for drop kick, A thud as the
two lines came together, a dull sound
AS the little quarterback's trusty toe
met the pigskin, and a mighty burst of
cheering when the ball went between
the posts for the first score.
With the confidence born of the
advantage of being in the lead, it
seemed that victory must remain with
us, but during the fourth period
Alvania pulled off trick forward pass
to Gushurst who, unseen. had left the
left end position and had stationed
himself near the west side line. The
crowd saw the rest and the score was
6 to g.
1T is needless to say that the Hot
Springs boys are jubiliant over the out
come. The fact that this is only the
second year of football in the high
school, that the team was made up last
year of green material, that many of
the members never saw game from
the side lines, and that in the second
year they hold the undisputed cham.
pions to as low score as was made in
the Saturday game, speaks we'll for the
development of the players and shows
that hard consistent football can be
played at the same time that boys are
doing good school work.
