To ELYR|A
Clabby Athletic Association
Draws a Tartar When the
Giant Buckeyes in Pink
of Condition Appear on
Gridiron.

Only in flashes did the Clabbys play
the style of football yesterday that
has gained for them a widespread
reputation as a fast. resourceful and
hard hghting lightweight eleven.
Under the direction Of Ambrose. the
quarterback. whose football brains.
sensational passing and running back
of punts demonstrated that he is
wise choice to take the place of Dorias
for the Fort Wayne F'riars. Elyria, o..
beat Hammond by a touchdown AMI
two goal kicks. IA to 8. The crowd,
depleted because Of the Davenport de-
feat a week before, could not complain
that it had not witnessed a good foot
ball gene. The weather may have
kept many away from Parduhn's Park.
Score ON Pass.
One of those low. right-on the spot
and speedy passes which mark the
little Ambrose as about the slickest
thing in the quarterback position that
has played in these parts this year,
Melted the Elyria team its first touch
down in the second quarter Forbes.

it over. thereafter kicking goal It
happened after Ambrose had failed on
a drop kick when he kicked more mud
than ball.
CIabbys Outweighed.
The field was in bad shape and the
mud made footing uncertain 1t gave
Elyria an advantage because her team
was made up OF tall rangy fellows who
outweighed the CIabbys about ten TO
twelve pounds to the man. Further
more Elyria appeared to be in the
pink of condition while Hammond, not
having had a practice during the week
owing to bad weather and the fact
that the shower baths at the park
clubhouse We're not working. appeared
to be easily tagged.
Lucky Touchdown.
It wasn't the same Clabby team thai
went up against Fort Wayne, Sheri-
dan, or even Davenport True, EIyria
got once lucky touchdown when Mey-
ers fumbled. HubbeI recovered and the
latter ran seventy-three yards for a
touchdown in the last period. Meyers
let the muddy oval slip out of his arms
after he had been tackled. And al
though the C1abbys came back fighting
hard the last few minutes of play the
game was gone.
Hammond got her touchdown in the
third quarter. Finn caught Elyria's
kick-of and it to the CIabby sew
enty-yard line. Talbot made eight
yards in two oH-tackle rushes.
Too Many FumbIes
Finn. Talbot and Calvin carried the
ball for short gains and Nolan made
a heroic catch of a forward pass. net

fumbled and recovered. Calvin was
nailed for loss and Talbot caught A

covered a tumble and was thrown for
a FIVE yard loss. Finn. Ted and Calvin
