Play Brilliant Football.

| strategical end Of the game, the plays
| being carried out with precision, ant
| the defense holding against everything
| the visitors had in their repertoire OF
plays.
The magnificent team work Sanford
| has perfected is responsible for the
| good showing of the team. The de-
Tense against the Waterloo onslaught
| and the grand interference shown were
the outstanding features.
| Instead of one or two stars outshin
ing their mates, Sanford had eleven
stellar performers to face the enemy
Dixon, however, furnished the spectac-
| ular features, with his magnificent
open field work in running back punts.
| Unable TO gain tru the line or around
| the Marshalltown ends, Waterloo re-
peatedly was forced to punt Fifteen
times the visitors resorted to the boot
| ing game, and Dixon returned the ball
thirteen times for total distance Of
| e2s yards. One Of Dixon's returns was
| for eighty yards, the longest sprin,
day. Twice Waterloo punts were
blocked the ball being forced over the
goal line for touchdowns.

and again on straight football. Seegel
was the only Waterloo player who
could make any gains against the Mar

defense.
