SAME OLD STORY
OcaIa Football Team Ran the Black
and Gold Up 10 the MAST
head Again

Ocala grows prouder every day of
her football boys, who scored their
fifth victory for the season yesterday
afternoon
1t was a pleasant autumn afternoon
and a large crowd was out at the fair
grounds by $50. The visiting team
came over in autos. and was a little
late. SO il was 4:03 when the game was
called The Gainesville eleven came on
the ground a few minutes before l.
and dia some drilling in order TO loosen
| up their muscles. They were a set of
long, rangy boys, as 1.-the and active
as young panthers, and it was easy to
see they were going to be a hard
crowd to handle. The Oeala team lay
in a bunch like a couchant lion on the
ground at the northeast end of the
gridiron, awaiting the word to begin.
They counted on victory and were
calculating the shortest road to It,
When the game began, the scrubs
kicked to Ocala and Davis clipped off
50 yards and on the first play he car
ried the ball around right end for a
gain OF 20 yards. Fleckenstein car
ried the ball around right end for 35
yards before he was tackled The
tackle was little too high and he
was knocked out. When play resum-
ed the scrubs braced up and on three
attempts to gain, Ocala failed and the
ball Went over on the scrubs 15-yard
line The scrubs failed to gain and
kicked. Capt Davis punted back to
the scrubs and Zewadski recovered the
bali and went over the line for an easy
touchdown. Fleckenstein missed goal
The first quarter showed that the
scrubs were rapid players. but they
have not attained the regularity with
which the Ocalas work together
During the second period Ocala made
several gains but was unable to score.
Two of the best gains of the game
were made by Fleckenstein when he
carried the ball on two plays for a
total of as yards.
1t was growing dark when the third
quarter started. The ball was in pos
session of the scrubs. They completed
forward pass, which Melted them 40
yards, but Ocala held them for downs.
On several gains by Burford and
Fleckenstein the ball was brought to
the 2O-yard line. Davis gained ten
yards and P. Anderson carried the ball
over guard for eight yards and the
ball was on the scrubs two-yard' line.
On an end run Davis carried the ball
for touchdown and a few minutes
later kicked an easy goal
This ended the game, as it was too
dark TO play any longer The score
was IL to in favor of Ocala. The
game was refereed by Mr. Stands of
Florida. and Mr.. Fitch of Chicago, Col.
Camps guest, umpired. Mr.. Clarence
Camp, as usual, acted as timekeeper
Then Ocaal boys received a tremen-
dous and we'll earned ovation at the
end Of the game. They played splen-
didly. The two Andersons, Bullock
Woods, Garrison and Camp are espe-
cially good on defense while the three
back men, Davis, Burford and Fleck-
enstein are most effective on the de-
fensive. The boys work together like
| the parts of a machine. They are a
| plucky set and almost impossible to
down. Fieckenstein was knocked
breathless twice, but went on playing
| in a few minutes each time. Robert
Clarkson had all the skin knocked off
| the under side of his chin, but no one
| but himself knew it till the game was
over. There were some other rough
knocks sustained, but the boys make
no complaint.
The next game will be at Tampa
next Saturday with the Hillsborough
! High School team. which lost to Ocala
| here two weeks ago. The Ocala boys
| will go down on the early train. and
the Star hopes a large crowd of pa
triotic rooters will accompany them
