ter opponents or lose the ball on
fumbles. The light Keokuk team
tore through the line of the Missouri
boys many times for long gains and
fought every foot of the way. Their
work was far superior to the form
shown in the Burlington game, when
fumbling and lack of team play mar
red the game and several times pre-
