Handicapped the backfeld, although
Hatch, who filled the position, played
a great game The L. H. S. leader
went into the game the last quarter
/ in an effort to start something for
his team but the odds proved too
strong against him and defeat was
charged up against the Maroons
Creston used straight football al
most exclusively and, owing to the
advantage of weight, made some
great gains through the Leon line
The Creston backs possessed an
abundance of speed with their weight
and showed their ability to skirt the
ends as we'll as punch the line before
the game had been in progress any
length of time. Although seldom at
tempting the open style of play, it
could be plainly seen that the win
ners were nOvices with this form of
attack and the few attempts which
were made were broken up by the
local men on defense.
Hoffman and Asbury played a
great defensive game on the right
side of the line and but a few of
the gains made by the Creston backs
were registered in this direction. R.
Scott at tackle on the left side was
also strong on both offensive and de-
fensive while the Brown brothers
and Hatch starred in the back field
Several of the larger gains credited
to the Leon squad were made from
open style formations and in this
style of play the winners were great
ly cutclassed.
In the first period Creston was un-
able to gain to any great extent and
when it became apparent that it
would be impossible to score
touchdown, Keck made an attempt
for goal from the 20 yard line.
However, the kick was wild and the
ball was put in play on the 20 yard
lien. The second period was the
most exciting of the entire game and
produced more real football than at
any time during the afternoon. Start
ing with the ball in the middle of
the field, the Creston squad COM
menced an attack on the Leon line
and marched down the field in great
style, sending Keck over for the first
touchdown when the period was
about finished. He added another
point by kicking goal making the
count, Creston, I; Leon, 0. A few
minutes later Asbury recovered
punt on Creston's, 40 yard line and
sprinted through for a touchdown.
F. Brown punted out to Hatch and
tied the count by kicking beauty
goal, just few minutes before the
end of the first half.
At the beginning of the third per-
iod the Leon team showed a flash of
form and the teams battled on a par
for the entire period, the ball travel
ing back and forth between the 80
yard lines. This was changed dur
ing the final stanza and Creston made
their superior weight count for all
1t was worth, sending two runners
across for touchdowns before the
final whistle. On both occasions
Keck added goal kicks bringing the
total count FL to z. The lineup:

THlBTEEN YEAR RECORD.
Dead. Injured

Madison - Wisconsin's hunting
season has caused the death of TWEEN
ty-one persons and the injury of
twenty-five others. Two of these
are women, and several children are
listed.
According to the state game war
den at Madison more than $50, 900 Ii
censes had been issued to hunters in
the state. Deer were killed right and
left in the northern counties where
not protected by law and shipping
transfer stations along the railroad
were congested by the shipments of
deer carcasses. The game warden
estimated that there have been 49,
600 hunters in the woods in search
of big game.
The lists of deaths and injured
among hunters proves that careless
ness is the greatest cause OF the ac-
cidents. Most of the hunters were
either the victims Of their own guns
or were shot by companions. Only
in a few cases has it been reported
that hunter was shot by another in
mistake for a deer, or that he was
the victim of stray bullet.
In many cases full details of the
accidents are unavailable, but in
others the reports say that the hunt
ers were killed or injured while polk
ing at a brush pile, drawing the gun
through fence, over the ground or
putting it in buggy. Most of the
Injuries reported are where hunters
are shot in the leg by their own guns.
Though all of the accidents were
reported during the open season for
deer, not all of them include deer
hunters. Rabbit and other small
game hunters are included and form
the greater number of the killed and
wounded. Absence of details in
many of the cases reported make it
impossible to note which are deer
hunting or other accidents.
The number of deer killed in Wis
consin during the present season will
equal if not exceed the 1912 figures,
Notwithstanding the fact that, be-
cause there was little snow, condi-
tiOns were not as favorable to the
hunters as usual. Many bears were
also killed. This is unusual at this
time of the year as Bruin ordinarily
goes into his winter sleep before the
deer season opens. Wolves, too, have
been quite plentiful and number
have been killed in the open wood by
the deer hunters who were not look
ing for them

WHY POULTRY is VALUABLE.
Canadian Expert Gives Eight Reasons
In Reply to This Pertinent Cues

Why is poultry valuable to the
farmer? Is a question asked by hun
dreds of tillers of the soil who usu-

this pertinent question:

ties with regard to the attitude of
boards of supervisors toward the aid

plan rather moderately, and chiefly
as experiments. Amounts appropri-
ated are small.

budget $4,000 for mothers aid.
This means that Milwaukee will re-
ceive an equal amount from the state,
making a total of $4,000 available
for this purpose in Milwaukee
