quarters and had not Il couple of the
visitors, namely the captain and one

fable cause left the field in the middle
OF the third quarter. Let it be said to
their credit however that this was due
largely to the actions of only couple
OF the players and the remainder of the
team was AS much disappointed at the
actions of their team mates as we're the
people who were Oh the field to witness
the game. Quarterback Heffron of the
visitors did all iu his power to have
the playing continued but was unable
to do so.
The trouble arose from the fact that
kefree Hedriok was called on several
times to penalize the visitors sfor off
side playing and in friendly manner
for the good of the visitors cautioned
them repeatedly but to no purpose and
tinally as last resort the captain of
the team who WAS the chief offender
made threats against the refree after
they were penalized and dared him TO
pat him off the field. When Mr.. He'd
rick did so he called the team with him
aud refused to play further. 1t was
disgraceful action on the part of Dead
wood and one which the boys here will
not sooD forget.
The game started at 2:55 with SAGE
