the history of the game. Butler kick
ed of and the ball went low, striking
Thompson, Aledo's lanky center,
suuarely in the chest, and bounding

fourth quarter he Intercepted one of
Aledo's forward passes and ran so
yards for a touchdown. During the
entire game Butler made eight touch
downs. Ackley two and Gleason and
Hinkley each one. Ackley, Gleason,
Whistler and Butler were the shining
stars of the battle. Ackley and Glear
son displayed wonderful form in plung-
ing the line. Ackley playing much on
the order of Spider" whistler last sea
son. The Islanders line. every one of
them. played a stellar game both on !
the defensive and offensive. their only |
fault being too anxious to charge, many |
off side plays resulting. especially in
the first half. 1t is estimated that the /
Islanders lost at least 20 yards in pen
alties during the combat. Wagner at |
center showed up wonderfully well. |
this being his first regular game. In |
this quarter the subs were given a
chance and all displayed their worth. |
especially Johnson, Morris and Klove.
