Held for Downs and Loses Ball

homa city high school boys to d tie
score.
The Oklahoma CITY squad entertain
ed the chickasha football team on the
formers lot Saturday afternoon. The
weather was perfect and the boys we're
in splendid trim, When. at 4 o'clock.
q EhriIl whistle served as the signal
to begin. a team on one end OF the
field moved al il by magic, while the
Chickasha team on the other end I'M
patiently awaited the arrival OF the.
pigskin. II came. There was rush,
wild yells filled the air and the run
ner was downed. The ball was not
held long, however, as the visitors
were unable to make the score.
Only the lack of player who could
kick to some advantage from drop or
placement prevented the Oklahoma
City boys from winning, for three
times in the first haif and four times
in the second half were the City boys
within the visitors ten yard line. BUT
n every such case the chiclkasha boys
braced M. fought braveIy and like
veterans, and held their opponents for
downs.
Then would come kick, wild rush
and the fight would once more be re-
sumed.
All Of the Oklahoma scoring was
done In the first half chickasha rum
bles resulted badly. Goetting fumbled
the first pass behind hhis line, and
Hardy fell upon it for touchdown.
Tyler kicked goal Only d few min
utes later swatek charged the Chicka.
sha line Of defense, gained th;a point.
and made the second touchdown This
time Tyler missed goal.
In the second period OF the first half
Goetting went through for chickasha
touchdown However. the kick-out
failed, and thus the first hair ended

old Chink Coetting, controlling him
self perfectly, got the ball between
the goal rosts and tied the score.
Practically ali the rest Of the game
was played in Chickasha territory
Four times the ball was almost to the
goal, but at such times chickasha high
school gave good account Of itself as
the boys always braced up and held.
There was strong moral support and
loyal roofing given by the home guard
who yelled long and loud from begin
ming to end. and this doubtless inspir-
ed the boys to put forth their best ef.
forts. There was fine attendance
