County Seat Boys Blank
Locals in First Game
At Davis Field
LAST QUARTER DISASTROUS
Ithaca Blocked A Punt Which
Gave Them The Only Chance To
Score A Touchdown

In hotly contested but rather
loosely played game, the Ithaca High
School football team scored a 10 vic
tory over Alma High School Tuesday
afternoon at Davis Field.
Both teams were composed largely
Of new men and for this reason the
game was not as tightly contested as
might otherwise have been.
Coach Crisp, however, deserves
great credit for the way in which he
has trained his team and for the show
ing they made against their heavier
opponents
The only score which was made was
scored in the last two minutes of play
by ithaca, recovering q blocked punt.
Ithaca kicked off to Mindel who id
vanced the ball ten yards. Alma made
seven more yards by line smashes and
lost the ball on a tumble. Ithaca ad-
vanced the ball by plunging the line
to Almas two yard line, but here
Almas defence asserted itself and Ith-
aca was held for downs
Alma advanced the ball to their
thirty yard line as the quarter ended.
At the beginning Of the second quarter
Alma was held for downs on their
thirty yard line but held Ithaca and
recovered the ball Alma was forced
to punt and sent the ball to Ithaca's
goal line Ithaca gained but were
penalized fifteen yards for holding.
Ithaca punted, the punt being short
AS Stevens was about to catch the
punt he was tackled, Ithaca recovering
their own punt and gaining thirty
yards Tinkham intercepted forward
pass and advanced the ball to within
striking distance Of the goal line as
the whistle blew for the half.
I'm the second half Alma kicked off
to Ithaca. Ithaca lost the ball on
downs. Alma fumbled in the last
down, but Handley recovered the ball.
Stevens was kicked in the neck and
forced to retire, Howe taking his
place. Alma advanced the ball TO
Ithaca's four yard line but superior
weight held them for downs. Ithaca
punted out Of bounds, the ball being
brought in on the fifty yard line. Alma
advanced the ball ten yards. End Of
third quarter.
In the last quarter Ithaca regained
possession of the ball and Brown got
away for q substantial gain. Ithaca
was held, however, and it was Alma's
ball in the center of the field. AT this
point Alma uncorked her first open
play which was a pretty forward pass
OF twenty yards to Kress. But as
Kress was off side the play was called
back.
With two minutes to play. Alma
attempted to punt, but Mclean
blocked the punt, recovered the ball
and got away for the only touchdown
of the game The goal was easily
kicked

in countless publications having
thousands of readers.
The home paper is a first class
medium for the dissemination of bet
ter farming propaganda. The aver
age reader feels that his home editor
is protecting him against fake read
ing matter-he respects his local
paper. The local paper is the last to
be thrown into the waste basket. For
these reasons, we might add, have
national advertisers learned that
local daily and weekly papers are ex-
cellent advertising media.
Of course everyone realizes that
