Especial to The Gate City,
MILTON, Ia, Nov. 2.-Keokuk high
school won over Milton high today In
a hard fought game by a score OF
thirteen to seven Both teams nut up
fast exhibition Of football and the
result was always in doubt, neither
team showing any especial advantage.
keokuk scored in the first quarter
but failed to kick goal, owing to the
high wind, Milton passed them in
the second quarter by a shoestrine
play which Melted touchdown and a
goal was kicked making the score
seven to six.
BY straight line plunges and spec
tacular end runs, Keokuk took the
ball down the field in the third quar-
ter and showed one OF the backs over
for another touchdown and Huiskamp
kicked a perfect goal This ended
the scoring.
The game was one of the best from
the spectators point of view that has
been played on the local field this
season, both teams breaking away
with the ball several times ana
Threatening TO score, only to have
one Of the speedy backs overhaul him
and stop the impending disaster.

people watched the game and both
teams were cheered to the echo TO,

STREET NAMES AND
STREET NUMBERS
Suggestion Made by Citizen Well
Worthy Of Serious considera-
ton by the People.

T has been suggested that many
cities which are now putting down
cement sidewalks are adopting the
plan at street corners of placing the
name of the street in vitrified form
In the side walk SO that pedestrians,
especially strangers may readily
know the street they are walking and
the intersecting street.
He thought this would be a good
plan for KeolSlk to adopt as there is
no system at present whereby the
streets are designated by any sorc or
sign
There is also great deficiency in
the city in the matter OF house-num-
bering, SO general is this matter ne
elected that it is very difficult for
even an old citizen who thinks he is
very familiar with Keokuk where he
has lived SO long, to find his way to
many residences distant from Main
street especially if he is looking for
a home which he has never before
visited. Many of the houses are not
numbered and there is nothing TO
show the name Of the street. ana be-
tween the two man finds himself in
the perplexing position of not know
ing where he is at" especially is this
the case since SO much building OF
residences have occurred in isolated
parts OF the city.
Street names and street numbers
are badly needed in Keokuk at the
present time
