| The closing game of the football sea-
Cedar Rapids high schools. on the local
| field Thanksgiving afternoon, was the
| most bitterly contested battle of the
! entire season, altho proving a disap-
! because the game did not prove de-
| cisive.
The result was heartpreaking to the
! four men of the local eleven who were
playing their last game, and more than
| one left the field in tears. The final re-
! suit was a tie, the score being ! to Z,
! but the failure TO score a victory was
! more seriously felt by the locals than
/ by Cedar Rapids because of the dis
/ qualification of Newcomer, which the
| players and their friends believe was
| unNarranteG. The teams Were evenly
matched.
Captain Buchwald Hurt
The game, marked at times by rough
work, incident 10 a stubborn fight. and
| by wrangling due largely to the in
competency OF officials, ended most
dramatically. It was Cedar Rapids ball
on its own 45-yard line. when the
whistle announced the end of the game.
The play, however, had been started.
and was legal under the rules. Mar
shal.town players stopped al the sound
4, Of the whistle and the crowd surged
onto the field believing all was over.
The Cedar Rapids player carrying the
ball continued his race toward the
Macshalltown goal line, however and
: Captain Buchwald alone seemed TO
realize that the final issue depended
upon stopping the runner at all haz-
ards.
Starting far behind the feet visitor,
Buchwald sped down the field like a
deer and, by making a beautiful flying
tackle. stopped the runner on the Mar
snaItown 5-yardline. The day was
saved. In making the tackle Buch-
valid fell on mis- neck and shoulders
and received injuries which for a time
We're believed TO be serious. The in
jured player was able TO be about last
night, however and aside from being
crippled for few days 1t is not ex-
pected his injuries will prove Of SER
ious nature
Newcomer is Disqualified.
! MarshalltoWn went into the game
with a rush that swept the Cedar Rap
| ids line off it's feet, and scored a touch
/ down in three minutes time The team
! played brilliantly thruout the first half,
! ana came back as strong in the third
period, but early in that session the
hopes Of the team for victory were
shattered when Newcomer was re-
moved from the game on the charge Of
Kicking Cedar Rapids player in re-
| sistlng tackle. The removal Of the
! quarter followed pretty Iwelve-yard
run. Newcomer was forced out Of
town boy. The latter tackled, lost his
grip, tackled again, and both men
rolled outside the border of the field.
To those on the sidelines near the two
players 1t appeared that Newcomers
kicking was only an effort to release
| Bakers grip about Newcomers legs,
and not any wilful attempt to injure
the tackler- From his position on the
ground it would have been almost i'm
| possible for Newcomer deliberately to
! have kicked the tackIer.
Before leaving the city Thursday
| evening Baxter said that Newcomer
! should not have been disqualified, as he
/ had not been guilty of a foul play. The
removal of the quarterback, however,
disorsanized the back field, and hin
| dered the machine-like operations Of
| the attack.
/ MarshaIItown Scores Early,
From the spectators viewpoint it
was great game to witness. There
were plenty of thrills and enough open
play to make the game Interesting.
Cedar Rapids Won the toss and Buch-
/ valid kicked off Cedar RAPIDS re-
turned the ball to their own 25-yard
| line, but fumbled on the first play.
! Ward recovered the ball and Marshall
| town began a procession toward the
goal line. Meyer and Packer got thru
| for eight yards On two plays, and
Newcomer added another yard Cedar
Rapids then drew penalty Of five
yards, and on the next down Ward hit
the line for five more. Hull took three
and Buchwald made it first down on
| Cedar Rapids 1-yard line. Ward car
ried it to within one foot of the line,
and then Buckwald went over Buch-
wald kicked the goal
The remainder of the first quarter
was played largely in Cedar Rapids
! territory. The features Of the second
period We're a successful forward pass,
Buchwald to Packer, for fifteen yards
and a gain of twenty yards by New
conner on fake play.

way Of Buchwald and prevented a

Marshalltown's possession on their own
