Denison's crack football squad trim
med the fast Ida Grove team in a
lhotly contested game on the local grid
iron last Saturday, the score being Is
to 0. 1t was the first time in the his
tory of Denison that Ida Grove has
been brought into camp and of course
everyone feels proud of the achieve
ment. 1t is a we'll known fact that
Denison has one of the fastest high
school teams in the state this year.
although they have been defeated, but
the game with Ida Grove was consid-
cred the hardest one of the schedule.
Both teams played great ball, but
Denison was too much for the visitors
and most of the game was played on
Ida Groves territory. Line smashes,
forward passes and short end runs
played havoc with the Ida Grove war
riors who seemed unable to break up
the offensive of the Denison team.
Those witnessing the game Saturday
who have seen Ida Grove play before
this season say the team showed bet
ter form than in any previous game.
Denison kicked off to the visitors,
but they were unable to make any
headway against the locals whose line
stood up like stone wall. The ball
was forfeited to Denison when Ida
Grove was unable to make the second
down, and by straight football the
ball was rushed up the field and Nc
Cord carried it over the visitors goal
line. Locke, however, failed to kick
goal. .,3.
In the second period Ida Grove was
unable to gain ground and soon for
feited the ball and Denison forced the
ball up to their S3 yard line, where
James O'Connor made a successful
drop kick. The kick was really phe
nomenal and spectators did not ex-
pect to see the .pigskin go over tho
goal but James seemed to be past
master at drop kicking and made it
with ease.
The third period was hard fought,
neither team being able to make much
headway. although the game was play
in Ida Groves territory. r.
During the last few minutes Of play
Denison again made touchdown at
ter series of successful forward
passes to Lehfeldt who worked the
ball up to within few yards OF the
visitors goal, when it was carried
over by Locke by short end run.
O'Connor kicked goal. making the
score stand 16 to 0.
Ida Grove had the best offensive
team that Denison has played against
since the west Des Moines high game
early in the season, and they made
more gains through Denison's line
than any team thus far. Wearmouth
played a wonderful game Saturday
and always managed to find an OPEN
ing through Ida Groves line. McCord.
Denison' plucky back, made consistent
gains by means of tackle smashes. Al
though a comparatively new man on
the team, he is playing remarkable
ball and next season should be a whirl-
wind Locke played his usual good
game and skirted the ends for long
runs All of the back field, Locke, Nc
Cord, Wearmouth and OConnor. play
cd good game. Lally, Helsley and
Finn played good games in the line.
Tomorrow will be the last game OF
the season for Denison when they
meet the fast team from Omaha south
high. This team beat Council Bluffs
earlier in the season by close score
and fans are expecting one of the
most exciting games witnessed on the
gridiron this year. The game will be
called promptly at 3:15 and it is hoped
that turkey dinners will be out Of the
way to permit everyone attending.
Turn out and give your support to the
local boys. S-
