Quincy, 10; keokuk, o.
Quincy high school had little trouble
in defeating Keokuk, 10 to 0, here
yesterday in the opening game Of the
local schedule 1t was not a good
game and neither team showed any
thing that could make their support
ers jubilant.
captain, scored seven of the points
made by the visitors. Individually. he
played pretty game, but in running
his team, in his selection OF plays,
and his field generalship he was open
to much criticism.
Drummond, Keokuk captain and
right half, was the best ground gain
er for the Purple and White. The
local backfeld, however, failed to
work together effectively and rarely
received the right kind of support
from the line or the ends The whole
team appeared to be slow. Their play
was often listless and they rarely put
up the smashing game that brings
victories.
Play Straight Football.
The Quincy team used nothing but
straight football from start to finish.
They did not try forward pass dur
ing the day and kicked only when abb
solutely necessary. Their plays al
ways were directed either through the
line or across the ends.
The local eleven attempted numer-
GUS passes, only one OF which was
worked successfully. Drummonds
throws often lacked accuracy but the
most noticeable weakness was in the
receiving end Of the play. With the
e-..eption of one or two cases the
ends failed to get clear. When they
did, they were unable to hold the ball.
Grieser made one sensational run OF
over sixty yards when he intercepted
q forward pass in the last quarter and
ran through a broken field for a
touchdown. 1t was almost the only
spectacular play made during the
game.
One Chance to Score.
The local school had one good
chance to score during the game. In
the last quarter, with the score to
o against them, they worked the ball
to the ten yard line. Crane was
thrown back for a loss Of seven yards,
but forward pass, Drummond to
Rowe. came so near resulting in a
touchdown that the Purple and White
rooters were beginning to count the
game won. The referee ruled that
an opposing player had touched the
ball before Rowe caught it, near the
goal line, and carried it across the
line.
Quincy's first marker was made In
the second quarter after the ball had
been worked within ten YARDS of the
line. Sumate carried 1t through right
end for a touchdown. Grieser made
the punt out. The ball was allowed
to touch the ground, however, before
the goal kick was made, and the ref
cree refused to allow the goal to
count, although Grieser made a per-
feet boot
Fumbles by the local team were en-
tirely too frequent for a warm day,
especially during the early part Of
the game. Few penalties were made
against either side, all Of them being
for five yards.

ALFALFA GROWERS

The Yorkville Alfalfa Growers asso-
citation held it's annual meeting in the
court room of the Rose hotel building
last Saturday afternoon, the president,
Mr.. n. S. Black, presiding. About a
dozen members Of the association and
several visitors attended the meeting,
the principal feature of which was of
address of Prof. A. A. McKeown, the
special farm demonstrator employed by
the Rock Hill chamber Of commerce.
Mr.. McKeown said he had visited q
number Of alfalfa fields near Yoriville
recently, among them being those of
Messrs. j. b. Scott, n. S. Black and
w. B. Keller.
The principal trouble with MANY al
falfa fields, he said, was on account of
improper incubation. Every step in
regard to the raising Of alfalfa must be
taken carefully and Professor Nc
Keown said there were many farmers
careless and Indifferent in their work
who should not even attempt to raise
the plant.
In cutting alfalfa the plant should be
cut clean and not ragged. The use Of a
dull moving blade will result in much
injury to alfalfa, which should always
be moved low and clean.
Those who expected to sow alfalfa
this year. Prof. McKeown said, should
begin the spreading Of lime at once No
time should be lost because many
times the lime is not spread upon the
land until it is too late to be Of much
benefit to the plant. The middle Of Sep
tember is the proper time to plant al
falfa.
The speaker urged that the Yorkville
and Rock Hill associations cooperate
in every way possible for mutual bene-
fit. York county has gained almost a
continent wide name because Of her
advancement in alfalfa culture. The
Rock Hill association authorities were
constantly receiving letters from all
parts of North America and q few
from South America asking about al
falfa and the progress being made in
its growth in this section.
The Yorkville association has decid-
ed to hold another meeting in July at
which time it is likely that Profs. Nc
Keown. Smith and Weeks will be pres
ent and make addresses.
The election Of officers was deferred
until December.
