OutWeighed more than twelve
pounds to the man, the local gridiron
warriors net defeat at the hands of
the Milwaukee South Side eleven by
score OF IA to o. The line Of the
locals was not So strong as that of
the visitors, but the forwards pulled
off by the home boys was first class,
while the Milwaukee lads were un-
able to do anything in this line. Team
work predominated over starring, but
Henke Archie and Buffmire made
good gains over the aerial route, and
Maerzke starred in tackling.
The main defects in the work of the
team We're that they stood up on the
line as soon as the ball was snapped
and tackled too high. These are faults
which are usually in evidence at the
opening Of the season and will prob
ably Le corrected soon.
During the game, the Milwaukee
team was repeatedly penalized

team defending the east goal The
South Siders received on the kickoff
and by a series of steady gains march
ed down the field for touchdown.
N Franklin, the Milwaukee teams
full back, made the touchdown and
added point by kicking the goal.
The Milwaukee boys kicked off and
Watertonn received the ball, but lost
possession soon after on a tumble.
The scarlet warriors failed to make
their yards and Watertown regained
the pigskin Henke made a long for
ward to Archie, and repeated the act
to Buffmire Watertown fumbled and
the visitors gained the oval on the 20
yard line, but failed to gain and the
Dall went back to the locals. An in
tercepted forward returned the ball
20 the South Siders on the % yard line,
and the quarter ended with the score
to 0.

ter, Maerzke charged through the first
line of defense fer "a good tackle,
throwing South Side for a loss. Wa

fell on the pi2skin. A forward to
Buffmire netted big gain, which was
added to by the invaders being penal
lied for being Off side.
The visitors accepted the Lall on
q tumble and started for the posts
from the 25 yard line, but were check
ed by a Is yard penalty for tripping.
They tried to regain the lost territory
by fake punt formation and failing
were forced to boot the oval
The local pigskin chasers failed to
gain and punted. Southside took the
ball and Maerzke again broke through
and threw the runner for loss, fore
ing the scarlet warriors to resort to

Tending the east goal. On the first
play they were set back five yards for
