Daytona kicked off to the Rifles
who lost the ball ON downs, which
Daytona did shortly after, following
Exchanges of the ball Dayto0a puntes
/ Foitz doing the booting, and sent the
bah over the goal line. Otis caught
| the kick and made the mis- AXE OF
| trying to return 1t to the line, be
| ing thrown for a safety. The per-
/ iod and half ended with the score
II to o, and the play about evenly
matched In the third quarter
Fhompke got in some lively Hicks
and finally recovered a punt that
| Otis allowed to get away from him,
running SO yards for a touchdown.
/ Foltz failed in a try for goal. A
/ little later in the period F0.tz sent
| the ball sailing over the goal posts
| for fine drop kick from the 30-yard
line.
| Both teams played a good, plucky
game and for a first attempt made
a fine showing For the Rifles, Ham
/ ilton, Thompson, Cowan, Bradshaw
and Boseley played especially well,
1 but everyone did his best. AT adj
vaneing the balls both teams seemed
better on long end runs, and II
| seemed that both teams tried the
| same tactics too many times. Many
forward passes were attempted with
out success.
i For Daytona Davis, Wilder, Mun'
roe, Harry. Foltz, the brakes, Foete
and Fronppke played good game
Foote made number of good end
Il runs and Frompke showed AN apt
ness for following the BAH that
really won the game for his team
Both teams tackled fairly well but
the thing that turned the tide oil
victory was the long punts by Foltl
and the inability of the Rifles tC
handle the same. nearly every EaHnl
