Wenatchee Is; Queen Anne IA

After making two touchdowns dur
ing the first eight minutes of play,
the Wenatchee-Queen Anne football
game in Seattle yesterday looked as
though it were going to be dupli-
cate of the three slaughters which
have been witnessed on the local
field recently. Literally swept off
their feet, the over confident Seattle
boys came to a sudden realization
that only most desperate resistance
would save them from disgraceful de-
feat.
They did not seem to have a ghost
of a show, but here is where the
Queen Anne team showed the kind of
stuff it is made of. Coming back
with irresistible energy, they
made a lightning-like attack for
which Wenatchee was unprepared.
Before anybody had time to realize
the situation, Bryant, a Seattle half
hack. intercepted forward pass, TAX
ing INeratchee's ball and racing
down the field, planted it back of
the goal posts. Thus ended the first
quarter With neither team able to
score in the second, the first half
ended wit the figures still reading
10 to in Wenatchee's favor.
In the third quarter Queen Anne
got the ball on another fiuke and
made six points more, to which were
added another two points on safety.
Score IA to u, with 5000 rooters
yelling their loudest for Queen Anne.
The real superiority of the Wenat-
chez eleven began to tell in the last
quarter. The ball was in Seattle ter
ritory nearly all the time. Foster was
finally able to make place kick from
the 35-yard line. This. was the last
change in figures and the final score
was Is to IA in favor of the visitors.
The Wenatchee full back was with
in striking distance of the enemy's
goal twice more within the last few
minutes of play and made attempts
to kick the ball between the posts.
Each time he was prevented from
doing so by Queen Anne players get
ting offside at least six feet. If the
officials had given the deserved penal
ty, Wenatchee would have been with
in a few feet of the goal and another
touchdown would have been certain.
When time was called, the visitors
were pushing Queen Anne hard while
Wenatchee boys were all compare
lively fresh with the exception
of the cripples.
Straight Football.
Coach Siever's pupils were unable
to play the game as they have been
taught. The grounds were so slip
perry that every effort to use the for
ward pass resulted disastrously. Only
five attempts were made, four in the
first quarter and one in the third.
1t was by intercepting these that
both of the Queen Anne touchdowns
were accomplished, while none of
Wenatchee's gains were made except
by plain. old fashioned football.
Sterlings ankle was in such bad
shape that Foster seemed to fear
shooting the ball to him very much.
The plucky end played desperately
to the end, but was unable to leave
the field without assistance. With
Wenatchee's star ground gamer in
such crippled condition, it may be
said that Seattle has not yet seen
the team play its game.
If Wenatchee suffered by intercept
ton of its forward passes, it is some
to know that Queen Anne
was equally unfortunate in that re-
gard, Once. a Seattle player fumbled

tore down the field with the sphere
for what the crowd thought was an
other touchdown. The umpire called
him back amid much groaning be-
cause the rules forbid any other than
he man who first touches the ball
from completing such play. Again
Captain Foster intercepted a forward
pass and allowed only a safety when
It would otherwise have been a touch
