F o OF B LII
First Game of the Season.

Although beaten by a score of 20
to o, Fremont High school provided
a real battle for the Oskaloosa High
school eleven in the initial game of
the season yesterday afternoon on
Penn Field One touchdown and
goal in the first quarter, two touch
downs and goals in the second and
one touchdown and goal in the last
quarter were all the points the o.
H. S. machine was able to register
against the inexperienced Fremont
team. New and green men were in
the first line up of the local team,
but these were removed at the be-
ginning of the second quarter and
fresh regulars were injected. BY
flashes the o. H. S. team showed
good form but at other times their
team work was ragged The often
sive Syork of the local team was
woefully weak and poor open field
work was noticeable to a great eX-
tent. Fremont with lighter team
went through the locals line many
times for short gains and several
times carried the ball well into the
Oskalocsa territory.
W. Shoemake won the toss for Os-
kaloosa and chose to defend the south
goal. Fremont then kicked to the
o. II. s. twenty yard line from where
the ball was returned ten yards by
Hatchett. Failure to gain the dis
lance forced o. H. S. to punt. Ere
mont returned the ball twenty-five
yards. See-sawing back and forth in
the center of the field then COM
menced and continued for some time.
Referee Kelley penalized Oskaloosa
several times during the first quar-
ter for off side play. Fremont lost
the downs and was forced to kick in
the latter part of the first quarter.
Kemp returned from the o. II. 5.
forty yard line to the visitors forty
yard line. A long forward pass. to
Mckinney added another striking dis
lance of the Fremont goal. Kemp
went through the Fremont line for a
touchdown. Larimer kicked goal,
making the score Z to 0 at the end
of the first quarter.
The second quarter opened with q.
H. S. in possession of the ball on
Fremont's twenty-five yard line. End
runs and line bucks again placed y.
II. S. near the Fremont goal and then
Kemp was again sent through Ere
mont for a second touchdown. Lari-
mer made goal, making the score now
IA to 0. Fremont returned Oska-
loosa's punt from their five yard line
for five yards and then kicked to
Kemp who came down the field for
twenty-five yards. An incompleted
pass by 0. Fl. S. gave Fremont the
ball on downs and visitors immedi-
ately punted out of danger. Bill
Davis returned to Fremont territory
and soon Larimer was sent over the
Fremont goal line for the third touch
down. Larimer added another point
by kicking goal. Score at the end OF
the second quarter, Il to 0.
The third quarter witnessed the
holding of the Fremont team and 0,
H. s. was not permitted to score in
this division. The ball was carried
we'll into the Fremont territory but
"OGky" lacked the push to put 1t over
the opposing goal line. The final
quarter found the locals on their own
twenty yard line A Atteen yard
pass, two end runs, another long pass
brought O. H. S. in the Fremont ter
ritOry and allowed Larlmer to cross
the line for O. H. S. fourth and last
touchdown. An easy goal by Lari,
mer raised the High school count to
%. Punting back and forth Occu
pied the time till the end of the game
and the fray ended Is to in o. Fl. S
favor, with the ball in o. H. S. pos.
session on Fremonts thirty yard
line.
