Visitors Picked Up During
the Latter Part of
the Contest

The Spaulding high football eleven
was easily the winner in its third game
of the season when it defeated the Bur
lington high team on Lincoln campus
Saturday afternoon by the score OF 26
to O. At the outset it looked all Spauld-
ing, but towards the end of the game
the visitors were getting into the de-
Tense with more vigor. Staged on one
of the most ideal football days this fall,
the game was witnessed by fair follow
ing of the rugged pastime. With chill
" north wind blowing across the field
and peep of Old Sol only occasionally,
those on the lines were reminded that
the overcoat time had surely arrived.
That the local high school has an ag-
gressiye team was easily the outstanding
feature in Saturdays game, for from the
whistle to the last second of play they
were ever on their toes. On the other
hand, however, their defense was equally
as strong. Perhaps the most versatile
player is John Tomasi. He was given
every chance to rush the ball, and he
made good on each occasion. With his
gains through the line and Smiths end
runs, the team was TO the front in every
period of the contest. The tackling OF
Cole and the all-round work OF Maiden
should not be overlooked.
Burlington was given the first kickoff
and Smith received the ball for the To-
Gals. He made run of nearly 80
yards and his team made first down. On
few line plunges they were soon near
the goal. Then forward pass, well ex-
ecuted by Smith and Maiden, brought
the first touchdown of the game. The
goal was kicked by Alexander. Bur
lington received the ball and failed to
make any gains and the ball was in
Spaulding's possession. The local boys
made consistent gains and it was not
many minutes before Smith carried the
ball across for the second touchdown,
and it was likewise booted over the rail
by Alexander.
In the second quarter Smith again
made touchdown on a clever forward
pass, Gordon to Smith. This came after
tumble by the Burlington team in
which the ball was recovered by high
school player. On this touchdown, Smith
failed to kick the goal. The first half
was then over.
The local boys came back strong again
with the aggressive work and on the
kickoff John Tomasi received the ball,
and his constant and effective line
plunges resulted in his making the
fourth and last touchdown of the after
noon. This, the boys failed TO kick.
In the last half Captain Alexander re-
tired from the game and used his sub
stitutes, who worked very CALAMITY. In
the absence OF the regular quarter, Sec
tor, who was injured in the last game,
mig" Smith commanded the team in
frst-class order, using his strategy TO
good advantage. For the visitors the
most consistent player and the biggest
gain maker was Maynard The visitors
were weak in their tackling and their
line, which, by the way, outweighed the
winners line almost 10 pounds to a man,
failed to hold the plunging Of the Spauld-
ing team and with every opening the To-
calls made good gains. For the most part
the winners used the old form Of foot
ball, although the open play resulted in
two OF their touchdowns. The lineup is
