Before the largest crowd Of the
season on Saturday afternoon. the
Olympia football team defeated the
Fort DUPONT team Z to o. Lee shrin
er. who has been putting up the best
game of his career this season show
ed his class, by his hard line plung-
ing and tackling Shriner scOoped
up a tumble in midheld and ran AZ
yards before he was brought down
by the Forts husky lubbock Murphy,
after one of the most exciting and
sensational runs seen or a local field
since the days when the Warren Ath-
letic Club was in prominence. This
Spectacular play brought the specta-
tors to their toes Shriner used good
Judgment by cutting across the field
instead of q straight run II was five
full minutes before the police could
clear the field Shriner on the next
play was blocked, but gave a plunge
for life and managed to take the pig
skin over for The only touchdown OF
the game 10 must also be said that
the blonde little Dutchmay was car
ried or the field by the olympia fol-
lowers.
"Ed" Tucker also deserves credit
for his brilliant all aroumi playing
against the soldier boys Tuck made
at least one-ffth of the tackles made
by the Olympia team in this big
game The big center is without a
doubt the best man ever turned out
for that position by local organiz-
alton. The mass plays in the first
half kept either team from advancing
the ball to any extent. But Coach
Traynor soon took this style out of
his boys and gave them a full ten
minutes talk before the Olympia boys
trotted out with confidence and vic
tory shining on the brow as they
lined up for the second half.
Patty Lannon who has baen the
star OF the soldiers for the past five
seasons was always on the jot'
big" Chief Williams, the former
Carlisle Indian star, showed his
strength, often warding off three
Olympia men at a time Referee Wick
ersham, manager Of the Wilm ington
High School team, showed his knowl-
edge of the game and was always on
the job Captain Sam SnitcheI kick
ed a difficult goal after the touch
down, and the crowd cheered.
Imp" Ryan put up a hard game
and should be given a word of con-
graduation for his fine work. con-
sidering the fact he is the youngest
boy. ever seen on WilmingtOn's lead
ing football team.
Bob Kidd, Harry Mccall and EIusky
Welsh also showed up in great form.
AT times each team played an unnec-
cssarily rough game
