being we'll prepared. Paul Browns

feature.

Undaunted by two former defeats,
the G. H. s. foot ball team lined up
to play with Lime Springs on the
home gridiron last Friday and sue
ceeded in giving the opponents a
revengeful defeat to the tune Of rs
to 0.
From the very start to the last
minute of the game the c. H. S.
outclassed and out played the team
from our sister city, indeed the
first five minutes and the last two
found the ball with In few feet
of the enemies goal.
r. Cresco received the ball and car
ried it to the middle of the field,
where we were forced to punt. The
ball rolled down to the enemies
goal line where they attempted to
make a getaway but fumbled the
ball, which was captured by Cresco.
Davis plunged through the center for
a touchdown, which was the first
Cresco had been able to make this
Iason.
Encouraged by this success the
Cresco players completely swamped
the opposing team, carrying the ball
through their line using trick plays
and breaking up the opponents
plays at random, until the last
quarter was finished, when the
score stood 26 to 0 in our favor and
the ball only about two feet from
our goal line.
The game, while much one-sided,
was sill exciting, for long runs
around the ends, successful line
plunging and fake plays and forward
passes afforded much interest to
the spectators.
The longest runs of the game
were made by Soriben at end who
twice made long runs for our side,
he latter time nearly getting a
clear field which would surely have
1etted us another touchdown. Davis
md Donegan also made fine runs
which while not so long as SOri-
3en's were the ones that counted
most, for they brought us the high
score with which we defeated our
opponents. ~ i
