BOOTLESSSTRUGGLE
FOR BOTH TEAMS
FOURTH TIME THESE TEAMS
MET BUT RESULT REMAINED
WITHOUT A CHANGE.

The fourth contest between the lit
tie soldiers and the little high schools
on the gridiron Tuesday afternoon
failed to change the result of the sit
uation in the least. For four long
and hotly contested quarters these
young Americans struggled for su-
premacy, but it came not and when
the whistle sounded at the close OF
the game not a score had been made
by any one. The larger portion OF
the battle was consumed in downs
with the ball going over, and the
teams remaining near the center OF
the field, and the only gains made
were the result of the forward pass
method.
It Is not known whether there will
be another game arranged between
these teams or not.

spoonfuls Of melted butter. Spread thick

Put q little butter or drippane into a

meat nicely in It On all sides Then add
two cCDfuh Of boiling water and cook over
a slow IRE for thirty minutes. The meat
should be covererd after adding the water.
A little Drowned flour may Be- stirred In
after the meat IL taken out, and this will
make delicious gravy.
