Before the battle started it looked
very much as though the Rockland
team would win. They sized up be-
side our boys by out weighing them
to considerable extent, but in
the game failed to show activity or
field work The home team were
fast on the field and their signal
work was prompt and effective.
FROM the first of the game it was
evident that Rockland was out
matched and not up to now in their
field work. Less than two minutes
from the start Peck had crossed for
a touch down by forward pass.
This took the spirit out of the visi-
tors and they did not again hold
out much hopes OF battling success
fully with the Falls boys. The final
score was 20 to and while was a
rather one sided game, yet was
a good exhibition of the game and
the large crowd out to witness il
was satisfied with it.
The Rockland team showed A
lack of practice and field work. and
Is due from the fact that there had
10 be change on the lineup at t
iast minute, Captain Bailey having
TO substitute some men who had not
learned the signals. -

game and the ball was carried to
the 20 yard line before downed

10 yard line and zig gag playing
with both sides owning the ball was
the feature for some time with a
small gain for the home boys at
each change until touch down was
made from the 20 yard line.
The rest of the qaurter was
fast playing with no results, the
aockland boys getting a little Of
their college day foot ball game and
ild some effective work on defense.
1t was free from the usual rough
and while some of the bows
needed repairs no one was seriously
lurt
All who witnessed this game and
he gaule played between this city
ind Blackfoot some time ago, in a ,
to game, said that our boys ]
,alyed much faster ball against the
aockland team than against the {
3lackfoot. A second with that ag- ;
would be called for were !
t not for the fact that three of the /
'layers are Immediately going from
