bringing home the big end OF a 20 to
3 score.
THAT scnd-off was a success" said
one OF the players IT was really the
whole c. H. s. that played the hard
fought game because each Of us was
inspired by the thought that a multi
tude of feIlow-students we're very
eager for Us to win"
The game was called at 3:49 o'clock
Friday afternoon. Amid the mingled
sounds OF brass horns and yelling
throats the two teams clashed to fight
until the end.
Chickasha kicked off to Shawnee
and downed the ball on Shawnee's
20-yard line. The first quarter was
pretty evenly fought. EACH team be-
gan by playing just common foot
ball" towards the last Of the quar-
ter. however, Chickasha began to sue
cessfully work the forward pass. The
quarter ended with Chickasha's bali
on Shawnee's l2-yard line.
The second quarter opened with
Chickasha gradually growing stronger.
II only took about minute for Goet-
ting to take the pigskin across the
goal line for the first touchdown.
Goetting missed goal.
The remainder Of the quarter was
filled with spectacular plays. Quarter
back Luster was proficient in handling
the forward pass and many times Pool
made sensational long runs around and
through a line that seemed impene-
trable. Hin was a wizard at the de-
fensive end. II man started around
his end OF the line he was either
downed for loss or stopped on the
line OF scrlmmage. Wilson played his
usual good game aud although hurt in
the second quarter his will power kept
him in the game until the end of the
half.
The ball was kept at all times during
the second quarter in Shawnee's terri
tory. During the last four minutes OF
the quarter Goetting added another
touchdown to his credit by making an
off end run. Goetting kicked goal and
the first half closed with the ball on
Shawnee's 2O-yard line
The second half was begun by Shaw
nee coming out stronger. The teams
played pretty evenly until Shawnee
fooled the Chickasha squad by calling
Reed. giant tackle, back for line
plunge. The ball was then slowly and
steadily pushed down to Chickasha's
f5.yard line, when Shawnee's quarter
back. Need, kicked a field goal which
netted Shawnee their first and only
three points.
When the final quarter came Chick
asha resorted mostly to trick plays"
Both short and long forward passes
were used successfully. The excellent
playing of Riddle; the speedy runs of
Pool; the daring line bucks of Harry
Hill and Goetting; the marvellous
strength of the line; the skilfulness of
Luster. Hill and Wilson in receiving
forward passes kept the ball in Shaw
ree's dangerous territory The final
score was made in the last five min
utes OF the game when Pool stepped
cff 20 yards for a touchdown after
which Goetting again kicked goal.
The game was decidedly clean one
and the Chickasha boys feel grateful
for the square deal they got from both
players of the opposing team and all
officials.
