TOWN|ES MAKE It THREE -. d.
STRAIGHT FROM SOLDIERS :
NBEsT GAME OF SERIES.
BY n. D. CASE,


With fair-sized crowd in attend
ance, and with the Hawaiian Band
dispensing music througout the game.
the Original Town Team won from
the Schofield Barracks eleven on
Moiliif Field Saturday afternoon in
the last game of the series, taking
the Soldiers into camp to the tune
of to 2. .-.
That it was the best OF the series
of three games which have been
played by these two elevens was the
opinion of the fans who thranged the
Sidelines and many are disappointed
by the fact that the two teams have
played their last game. IN spite of
the nerVe-racking play Of each team
in the attempt to score, the players on
both sides kept their heads, and dis.
played skill that would have done
credit to varsity team ON the main
land. Both machines were aggressive.
and every one of the twenty-five
players was on the go every minute.
Neither eleven could get very far
with team work. and the few passes
which we're pulled off did not figure
greatly as ground-gainers. The Sol
diers seemed to be in betters trim
than ever before, and the game was
nearly void of the sundry squabbles
which figured prominently in the first
two contests, 1t was only by sheer
luck that either team scored, and
for a while it looked as IL the game
would be chalked up as nothing
to nothing affair. -....-.
Hall A Star ~ 49, ~ Iii.
Again the credit of winning the
game must be given to Quarterback
Hall, of the Townies, who was re-
sponsible for that eleven scoring the
only touchdown of the afternoon.
Near the end of the first quarter,
with about twenty seconds to play,
the Townies rushed the oval up to
within twenty yards of the Soldiers
goal line. Hall then. dropped back
for a goal from the field, but he
failed, as the ball fell short of clear
ing the uprights. Lowndes, of the
Soldiers, received the oval two yards
from the line, and was downed In his
tracks. The. Soldiers then tried
.scrimmage to carry the ball out into
the field once more, and in the mix
up, one of the halves dropped it and
it was recovered by Hall, of the
Townies. The Townies were given
the first down and Hall, with a long
run around right end, carried the oval
over the line, saving the day for his
team. Friesell then booted the
leather between the sticks, adding one
more point to those made by the
Illinois champ:
Quick work was all that saved the
Soldiers from being shut out entirely.
Near the middle Of the last quarter,
Greenaway booted the leather down
the field and in attempting to take
it., Friesell fumbled and was forced
to run back towards the goal line in
order to recover it. But the Soldiers
were upon him like foraging party,
and he was showed across the line,
thereby giving the Soldiers two points
on q touchback.
Just Hard Work
Although there was little individu-
al star playing by the members Of
who deserve a lot Of credit for good
work. Hall, as usual. bore the brunt
If the work for the Town Team, and
he was closely followed by Cayard,
Friesell, Desha and Hughes. The
playing of Cayard in all the gaines
has been Q real treat and the way
he has tackled and broken up plays
shows that he has lost none OF the
knowledge of the game drilled into
him in his college days. Fat" Lucas
did not show up at center and his
place was taken by Moore, who. in
spite of few wild passes made at
different times during the contest,
played a good game.
Baugh. the husky right half OF the
Soldier aggregation was responsible
for the greater number Of gains made
by his team. Cathy, Craig, Wacker,
Reynolds. LOwndes and Greenaway
are also credited with doing lot Of
clever work "Pinkey" PastOri, the
end, who seemed to take
pleasure in teasing Friesell, was the
subject of much comment by his fell
low bunkies on the sidelines. as he
was nearly always seen at the bottom
of each play While being light.
"Pinkey" was all there on the end
of the line.
The attendance at the game was
NOT AS large as it should have been
but this fact did not seem to "othPr
tho players any. The gam" started
at Il quarter-pash three O'Clock fol
lowing the close Of the soccer contest.
Following is the game by quarters:
