BY J. G. BRANN.


IT. HE game between the picked team
from the north and south side
II schools for the district cham
pIonship, at the Lamar school grounds
Friday afternoon, furnished a very
auspIcious opening for the second foot
ball session. The game was won by
the north side team, but it had its work
cut out 10. it, as is indicated by the
score, which was. North Side, 2, South
Side, O. There are some who are laDor-
ing under the false impression that the
a winner Of this contest is to receive the
= EI Easo Herald banner This banner is
to go to the school which wins the
championship in the Grammar School
Soccer Football league, which has been
organized by l.. Pearson, the very capa-
Bile grade school athletic director.
For the south side, the star was goal
keeper kennard. On three occasions
this boy turned back the team from
the north side from what appeared GER
tain goals. Considering the short time
he has been training, his playing,
especially on the defensive, was mag
nificent. Had the offence Of the south
side been as strong Is this yOungster,
the result would have been different.
A Bull, at left halfback; c. Brown, at
center halfback, and captain II. Rhodes
at center rush all played we'll For the
north side, p. Pollard, captain of the
team, at center rush, showed wonderful
offensive work. He was responsible
twice placed the ball in such a position
that his teammates would have scored
but for the great defensive work of
Kennard A. Bordeaux, +. Welsh and
J. Hunter played fine game for the
north side. r. Hayden at goal keeper
played, II possible, even better game
than his rival Kennard. The south
Eiders found it impossible to score
through his impregnable defence.

Football East vs.. Middle West.
Last Saturday the Michigan scoring
machine rolled up a total Of "a points,
while Pennsylvania was accommodating
three on a field goal. Now come the
scribes and football experts Of the mid
die west rearing up on their hind legs
demanding recognition and declaring
that middle western football is, at the
very least, on par with that played
IN the east once lleLG has DCCA ~
statement to the contrary from the east,
these folks must be very much IN the
same position as the man with the
guilty conscience.
Here is the situation: These same
scribes and football men state, after
having seen all the teams in action,
that Michigan is superior to any team
in the middle west with the exceptions
of Illinois (the probable champions),
Chicago, and Wisconsin, and that the
difference between Michigan and these
teams is not great In defeating Penn
Eylvania by such a score as they did,
Michigan did not accomplish any Won
derful feat. Pennsylvania is one of the
weakest teams in the east this year.
There are at least half a dozen minor col
leges, such as W. q j. Pittsburg, Le-
high, Brown, Williams, etc, without in
Guiding the Army and the Navy. that
are much stronger than PENNSYLVANIA.
On October 81, Syracuse, only a medi-
OGRE team, ran over Michigan by score
Of 20 to g. The following Saturday
Michigan held Harvard, one of the
strongest teams in the east, to a Z to 0
score. At least that is the way those
Boosting middle western stock put it.
Harvard Played Safe.
In reality. Harvard held itself to that
score, for, after having scored early in
the game, Harvard cOntented itself with
playing safe and trying out its defence.
Moreover, Michigan considered the Har-
ward game the Biggest of the year, and
YOst had devoted most of the season to
developing a defence for the Harvard
method Of attack. Yet Harvard
crashed through that defence for
touchdown early in the game and, by
playing an offensive game throughout,
