Ciiians Fall to Local Champs and Title
Of Conference Decided When Reeds
Smash Defense Of Last AspiranIs
VISITORS OUTPLAYED
AND OUTCLASSED, 1877
Locals Show Great Improvement in Team
Work Over Last Fridays Battle and
Realized Importance Of Issue

While demonstrating the best team
work displayed on the local gridiron
this season, the men Of the purple and
gold tore through the breastworks OF
the Oklahoma City squad yesterday
afternoon for a score of 19 to Z, and
championship. Seven of the Chicka-
sha gridsters bore in mind throughout
the entire game that the timekeepers'
whistle ending the fourth quarter
would terminate their career as high
school demons of the headgear, and
were 'in for blood" Again the defeat
at the hands of the Enid squad seemed
to inspire Reeds men with more pep
than has heretofore been evident. Nor
did this enthusiasm and determina-
ton flag for a moment but gained in
proportion as the Hills repeatedly
ripped the opposing line for long
gains.
OutcIassed and OutpIayed.
Outclassed and outplayed from the
start, the crew from the metropolis,
though outweighing the locals, were
unable to hold the line battering of
Capt. eriffith's aggregation. On the
other hand, Fishers eleven could
make no sphstantiak gain .i~tugh thpl
home ranks and were no more sue
cessfuI at passing. A seemingly
slight overconfidence prevented the
visitors from holding the locals to a
tie as in the first game Of the season
staged between the two while the
Chickasha men threw every consider
alton aside save the eradication or
last weeks defeat. Superior team
work and line resistance, seconded by
an almost irresistible back field were |
the determining balances of the game.
They Play the Game.
Straightforward football was played
throughout, and every man on both
aggregations did honor to his colors
J. B. and Harry Hill at right half and
full respectively played an exception
al game. With a stronger interfer-
ence with Griffith in the line and
Hayes at half. the Hills could not be
resisted so effectively as on the mud
dy field at Enid. Fox played especial
ly we'll at quarter both in his general
ship and in the reception of long pass
es, once catching broad toss twelve
yards across the goal line. Riddle, a
little improved from his injuries, came
out unusually strong in his original
overtime tackles that lost ground for
the visitors. Hayes, reinstated at left
half, exceeded any of his former abil-
ity as a ground gamer while Wilson
and Gardner brought down many
seemingly intangible passes, both from
the local backfield and the invading
fulback in a manner that approached
the miraculous. Harris and Griffith
at tackle deserve much credit for the
defense maintained as do likewise
Bunnell and Driscoll at guard.
For the visitors, Capt Fisher and
Garner were the ground gamers. Gar
ner played an exceptionally fine game,
executing the only sensation for the
black and red in the form of a seventy
two yard march down the field with a
c. H. S. tumble for touch
down, the only one credited the invad-
ing clan.
The Game by Quarters.
The game in detailed plays follows:
First Quarter.
Game called 9:35.
Chickasha kicked off and held the
City for downs. when they were
forced to punt across the c. H. S.
goal. The-ball went to the 20 yard
line and by plunges and short passes,
the Hills carried the ball back 30
yards. Chickasha was held and punt
ed 12 yards and recovered. A pass to
Wilson for II yards took the locals
into the shadows of the o. H. S. goal
A fake place kick enabled Hill to pass
10 yards to Fox J. B. Hill plunged
to the Oklahoma l yard line Hill
ploughed across and kicked out from {
