NATIONAL GUARD
DEFEATS SHAFTER
IN FOUR ROUNDS


local gridiron. Great open field run
lining by STAFF Austin and Bill Rosa
featured. Brunswick and Dcrris were
the bright and shining stars for the
Shafter team. Miller showed his yer,
satility by puDting and guarding his
end well.
i A spectator saia after one of the
players had dug his fist into another
mans eye that ii wasn't any chiId's
game. His description was as fol-
lows: Jess Willard goes through
/ tackle with right uppercut Gun
boat Smith, playing in the line. lands
a r.ght cross to the right ends jaw.
Eddie Mcfioorty fakes forward pass
and lands hard one on Mike Glib
bons' jaw. Time out. The work OF
Battling Leyinsky was good in the
first quarter. He gained five yards on
| a left swing and went through left
tackle when he copied Jim Coffey on
the nose.
Round One.
Anyone who fingered around Moi
I liili field Saturday afternoon would
have said that football was more or
less a harder game than crokinole or
tiddlewinks. In fact, the players
showed more of a punch spirit than in
five hundred.
On three or four occasions the OPP
ponents went through the line with
their knees or arms in some ones
face. 1t wasn't good game for
person with weak heart to review.
They played good FOOTBALL while they
were playing,s but the exact time soi
football and prize fighting is in dis
Ipute It must have been an even
break. This morning the butcher shops
are selling beef steaks in abundance
and they are not to eat either. There
are several optics in mourning around
the. city. q
Should Stop Practise.
Football between the regiments
isn't going to grow in favor If the tact
/ tics Of Saturday are kept up. The fans
do not want to go out to a football
game to witness a couple of breakfast
money prize fighters in action. There
are places for all this. 1t isn't going
to help the game, and some arrange,
ment should be made at once to stop
this sort of thing at the games In the
future. Saturday afternoon the play
ers gathered together and punched
each other on the nose in fine fashion.
You didn't see that work In the In.
terscholastic games, and you wit
messed faster football This isn't a
knock on the game. It's merely
suggestion to better the game. II
the heads of the teams can get togeth'
er and do something for the discontin-
uance of this battle they will have
earned the thanks of the public.
A suggestion for a program would
be to have the first quarter played
and then call time so that Battling
Brutus and the Terrible Terry could
go two rounds, and then play the next
quarter. After that have Kid Flop and
Buck Biff, the Brooklyn wonder, go
on. This in itself would ease the
situation and perhaps let the fans
know that the football players aren't
leading double lives.
