big crowd was out .Rookwood
started of with a rush and field
goals by Lochart and Yearger soon
put the Philadelphians on the lead.
The visitors gathered seven points be-
fore Brownson could score. Sid Nc
Cullough then started the locals by
dropping in foul This was an in
centive for immediate action and
Burke Gagged field gaol and then
Haney smashed one. Lockhart
shook off his guard and added a pair
of two pointers The Gold and Blue
representatives worked like fiends
after that, but failed TO catch up 20
their opponents and at tho end of
the first half Rookwood held the big
end OF a 12 to Q count
The second session found vast
Improvement in Brownson's style OF
play. They put more snap and vim
IN their playing and did away with
the wild passes, that characterized
the first session. Manager Fity-
patricks tribe out-passed the visi-
tors. and scored the same number OF
points as their opponent. but Rock
woods three point lead could not be
overcome. Burke rolled in one from
field and thus started thd fireworks
OF the final period One Of the
Rookwood speed boys then sent
goal spinning through the net and
made the score IA to H. Doc Haney
then bestirred himself and his field
toss put Brownson one point in the
rear
Sid Mccullough eyened up matters
by a foul and then tailed another
pair from the l5-foot line. This gave
The locals the high reins by one field
toss, but Yeager shared a pair of fouls
and affairs we're tied up once more.
Roth teams then got in some fast
passing and neither side scored for
few minutes Lockhardt tore off
long bank shot and then Mccullough
tailed Yeager and Burke shot a
foul and another tic score resulted.
Keenan, then put dent In the locals
hopes by rushing the ball through the
net for another tally
Russell. the lanky center OF Win
sllls tribe, did not do any damage
in the early portion of the game but
put Brownson out Of the running by
caging a trio of goals in the final
minutes. Russells three tosses left
the locals in the leeward and Haney
Burke tried hard. 40 catch the
rpacenrakeSs Doc rolled IN a field and
a foul goal and Burke also tailed
from the free line. The best Brown
son could do was to gather two dozen
points and Redwood finally won out
By three points.
The Rookwood youths have been
playing remarkable ball all season
and have won nearly all Of their
games. The Philadelphians are one
Of the fastest teams in this section
and are one of the greatest passing
quintets playing independent bali to-
day. Brownson solved the visitors
style of play in the final period ana
made their opponents hustle. joe
Lacey was given a tryout and played
speed game The Flying Dutch
man. was all over the floor at once
aud charged into scrimmagc after
Ecrimmage and brought out the ball.
With a little more experience the
Defiance star should develop into a
FIRST class guard.
Sid Mccullough was al center in
Mark McDonoughs' place and worked
like a veteran. He Gagged seven foul
losses and managed 10 slip in a
pretty two pointer L,ockart was
high man for the visitors with hve
goals from the field. Ycager scored
ffe fouls but Rigney held him TO a
long field toss. Doc Honey COPIED
four neat losses and Burke snared
tno. Fitzpatrick. Rookwoods husky
