of the field and gave answering yells
for the Fort Madison rooters across
the gridiron.
The game was hardly indicative OF
the true strength Of either team Abel
Madison. stellar PLAYER. wss Gut Of
the first half with severely wrenched
knee. He had not intended entering
the game and came on the field with
out his uniform, suppcsing he would
remain only as spectator. Kirkhuff
had both ankles badly hurt and was
in the game only because more suit
able material was not at hand. Nigge-
meyer, at quarter, received a badly
wrenched knee in the middle of the
game aud was unfit for offensive work
afterwards, his position being covered
by Abel Phelan's work, though ex-
cellent on the line, was not at par IN
the back field This left the game
with Ekfns against l. Roberts as far
as ground gaining was concerned.
Roberts support was not what II had
been in the prior game: had it been,
the result would have varied greatly
