was expected that at Cedar ta!!s. II
ever, the losing streak of the local
team would be broken. but thru her
own miscues and the alleged Partially
of the officials toward the home squad,
Marshalltown rang up another lost
game and turned with fear and trem-
ding toward the uncertain future
which will bring forth as opponents
The strongest high school footoall
teams in Iowa this season.
The student body had looked forward
70 Oct IS as the bright spot on the
football calendar for, after Marshall
towns show Of fight against West Des
Moines and Grtnnell and on the result
of the Cedar Falls Cedar Rapids game
q week ago. there appeared not the
highest chance that MarshaNtown
could lose. But it was another case
OF counting the chickens before they
were Matched. Comparing the game
Saturday and the defeat Of Cedar ta4is
a week before. the question now is.
what will Cedar Rapids do to Mar
6ndlltOWn on ludNhSsAA1S AA'
How and Why Il A.posned.
1t was the old story. Marshalltown
was ,pitted against a heavy team, and
despite the fact that Marshalltown
played the better game she could not
count. nor could she prevent her op-
ponents from registering one toucn-
down.
According to Captain Buchwaid and
Iaf
was due to the unfairness Of the Of
f1cials. After the game Captain Buch-
valid declared that Masballtown wouls
have won had the team been accorded
a fair deal by the officials. The unfair
decisions resulted in Cedar Falls touch
down and cost Marshalltown the
chance to score. The lone tally came
in the third period and. according to
the Marshalltown captain, followed d.
rectlv after a big gain from forward
pass, which was allowed by the referee
altho not completed. The ball. after
peine passed, touched the ground and
was also touched by Marshalltown
players. but a Cedar Falls player
grabbed 1t and the gain was allowed.
This, said Captain Buchwald. was but
one instance of the unfair treatment
received from the officials.
Marshailtown Misses Chances.
But. barring this Ill fate, Marshall
town would have won, had not the
PLAYERS thrown away their chances
Twice forward passes went to men on
ar near the goal line, only TO have the
ball fumbled. Once Hull was the Of
fender and on another occasion G
Buchwald misjudged the pass. In
either case, had the Marshalltown
player received the ball cleanlE,
touchdown would have resulted.
In the last quarter Marshalltown
bad two or three chances to score
field goal. but refused the opportunity
in the hope of forcing the ball over
for touchdown. A touchdown would
have tied the score, and a touchdown
with a kicked goal would have meant
victory by one point, whereas two field
goals would have been necessary even
to have tied the count.
New Players in Lineup.
There were numerous shifts in thu
lineup for Saturdays game. Kirk was
sent in at tackle IN place of Tweed,
and Mckibben was taken along TO Ill
auter's place at half. Both played a
good game Miller. a light but nervy
uayer, also appeared in the lineup
.or the first time. Vogt was also in
FOR the first time this season.
Captain Buchwaud was unable TO
play the entire game and did not go in
until late in the contest
Falls Eleven Underestimated.
1t is quitep robable that Cedar Falls
nas been underestimate because Of its
poor showing against Cedar Rapids,
out on the strength Of It's showing
against Marsnalltown it IS apparent
nat the eleven had not been taken
seriously enough by the local team.
Cedar Falls played good football, &C
cording to those who witnessed Satur-
days game, and the men are big and
husky Either Cedar Falls was in a
slump when It met Cedar Rapids. or
the Rapids eleven is one OF the real
rontenders for the state championship
