Denig High School won Tie game
from the FL Paso High School BY a
score Of ] to 0. This score IL due
to the fact that Fl Paso left the Geld
at the end Of the third quarter and
forfeited the game.
Deming fans much regret that FL
Paso quit when they did. The local
players were coming strong and
those who saw the game believe Dem
ing would have won the contest any
way.
There was a small but enthusias site
crowd present, the attendance being
disappointment to the supporters
Of the team. Deming was outweished
twenty pounds to the man, and dur
ing the first half were unable to stop
the rush of the FL Paso backs. Fl
Paso secured two touchdOwns and
kicked one goal in this period Of the
game.
In the second half Of the game the
Deming Bulldog" spirit showed t.
self and the superior physical con-
dition of the local team began to
tell. BY a series Of plays and well
driven punts Deming fought their
way down the field and then after q
clever recovery Of a punt by Frank
Steed a fierce line plunging game
carried the ball over for a touch
down. Steed got the ball on the
25-yard line and Mcclure and John
Steed carried it up to the goal line.
then John Steed was given the ball
to carry il over. He went over but
fumbled, the tumble was recovered
by McAdams and Deming scored
touchdown. Bell kicked goal. Score
Ell Paso Is, Deming Z.
II was at this point that the visi-
tors quit. Captain Shay Of the FL
Paso team seemed to be unable to
stand the thought Of Deming scoring
aud took three Of his players and
left the field.
Eight Of the Fl Paso team remain
ed and wished to continue the game.
However, after giving FL Paso at
least thirty minutes to get their team
on the field, Referee Pagter declared
the game forfeited to Deming. The
score Of a forfeited game being !
to 0.
The III Paso players who remained
on the field openly expressed their
disapproval Of the attitude Of their
captain. For these men the local
fans have nothing but good words.
They were good, clean sportsmen.
and declared the touchdown was le-
gal.
OF the twelve Fl Paso players, or
two-thirds, stayed, showing clearly
the majority did not approve Of the
unsportsmanlike conduct of their
captain.
The game was replete with sensa-
tional plays. Ell Paso made good
use of the forward pass and made
many good gains by its use. How.
ever, in the latter part Of the game,
the condition of the local team began
to tell and there is no doubt as to
the final outcome of the game.
For the Pass City, Caldwell, Nc
Pherson and Schumacher played stel-
lar ball. For the Bulldogs" John
Steed made good use Of his toe and
made several good gains. His broth
er, Frank Steed, also did good work.
being fast to get down the field under
punts.
Burr, in the line, played wonder
full ball. He is the wonder Of the
team. He never saw or played a
good game Of football until this
year. Saturday his tackling was
sure and hard. He did the best work
in the Deming team.
Mcclure was a tower Of strength;
he hit the line like bullet and was
sure Of gain. For his weight he is
the hardest runner we have ever
seen. On defense he was also strong
and his tackles were sure.
Above all of these, Bell, at end.
for Deming, was the star Of the
game. His play out-classed any
thing on either side. He was in ev-
cry play strong when he ran the ball
and broke interference and tackled
like a star Of the first magnitude. lie
