Forward passes around them, the

It took Chickasha some time to get
into the game the players seemingly
considering it a sort Of practice game
and merely a diversion from the ter
nal battering Of the scrubs. They loaf
ed along, making only two touchdowns
in the first har and il was not until
Dewburst ofthe soldiers intercepted
forward pass and ran As yards for a
touchdown that the Chickasha fight
ing spirit began to predominant and
the score began to pile up. The for
ward pass figured in fully so per cent
Of. the ground gained in the entire
game and it was worked almost at will
by Chickasha.
Among the scrubs who entered the
game we're Dikeman, Warren and Paul
Heffner, all OF whom showed up well
on defense, but Heffuer could gain but
very little ground against the heavy
soldiers.
Melbourne, intimately known as j.

day and seemed to like it, for he stay

Hamilton also did spectacular work,
as did Goode at center. One Of Goodies
