KF0KI|K WINS OVER HAM|LT TON
BY HANCOCK'S TOUCHDOWN

the ball on the twenty yard line on
tumble. Wygle and Hancock advanc-
ed the pig skin seven yards and an
other tumble gave it back to the
visions. After making slight gains,
Ackley punted. Wygle took the ball
through for a few yards. The ball
then went back and forth in the mid
die OF the field and then slowly but
surely was pushed toward the keo-
kuk goal. And then there was great
! joy when Hancock in some manner
emerged from the thrpng on about
, the thirty yard line and raced to goal.
And to top it all he kicked safe and
the score stood seven to nothing for
Keokuk,
Keokuk kicked of to Hamilton and
the visitors were advancing In threat
ening fashion when the quarter ended,
the ball in Keokuk's possession on
downs
The Second Quarter.
At the opening of the second quar-
ter Keokuk had the ball on the eighty
yard line and after vainly trying to
break through the line, punted. And
then followed a long series of fun
bles, missed forward passes and line
plunges, all of which were futile, but
toward the end of the half the locals
got dangerously near the goal and
when the whistle blew for the half
Roberts had just fumbled the ball on
the thirteen yard line.
Second Half.
Keokuk kicked of to Hamilton in
the third quarter, the visitors defend
ing the west goal. After falling to
win on plunges, Hamilton was forced
to kick but Keokuk lost on downs in
the middle of the field Hamilton
then tried two forward passes, both Of
which would have been good for
thirty yards and probably a score, but
luckily they were missed, but only By
a hair. The ball was now going to-
ward Hamilton's goal and a delayed
forward pass put the play within IF
teen yards of the dead line. With
but one white line separating Hami!-
ton from a score, the visitors plungei
twice without success and then tried
a pass and finally lost on downs.
Keokuk had her back to a wall
now and instead Of puning out, an
other forward pasa(was tried, and for
the first time proved a success. Rowe
made twenty yards on this and Ham
cock added twenty-five more la a sen
sational rum Wygle then took for
ward pass to within thirty yards OF
the goal where the ball went to Ham
ilton on a tumble Keokuk's chances
OF throwing another score across
ended when Hamilton punted to mid
field and the third quarter went tc
its end with only another thirty yard
gain by Hancock to liven 1t up.
The Last Quarter.
The last quarter was enliyened
a bit when Hamilton again got within
striking distance OF their goal. Yeast
tried to kick from about the thirty
yard line and missed and from then
On Keokuk started a steady grind to-
ward their own goal. LeF'aivre got
through for several good gains and
the locals were going strong only to
have the final whistle blow with the
ball fifteen yards from Keokuk's goa
but in Hamilton's possession.
