BY BOB 0LMSTED,

In an entirely One-slded contest, .
Augustana won the last game OF its +
season Saturday afternoon by defeat I
ing Macomb Normal on Ericsson held +
to the tune Of IS to 0.
Macomh never had look-in. At
no period Of the game did she threat
en- Augustana's goal. The whole
down-state team was outclassed COM
pletely by the opposing men ON the
Swede aggregation.
The first touchdown was made in
the first four minutes Of play by An
derson who made run OF Is yards
through broken territory The goal
kick failed. A few minutes later An
derson booted a drop kick between
the bars and the score was raised to
nine points.
IN the second half, three touchdowns
were made. Gaylord intercepted a
forward pass 40 yards from goal and
walked away from his opponents for
a touchdown. Anderson made another
long run a few minutes later upon re
ceiying a punt from Macomb. Upon
the kickoff, Augustana recovered a
tumble and Nordgren went over for a
( touchdown on the second down Score,
/ with goal kicks, 80 to O.
/ In the third quarter. BloQmberg car
/ ried the ball over for a touchdown on
the second play, Augie kicked off and
Macomb punted Anderson made a
lnog pass to Alrner, who caught the
oval behind the posts in one Of the
most spectacular plays Of the game
Gaylord started the scoring machine
in the fourth quarter and the success
full goal kick brought the tally up to
81. Soon after Anderson received 4
punt and made q run Of so yards to the
20 yard line. Gaylord carried the ball
to the 5 ward line Randolph then
went through the line for the final
touchdown just as the timers whistle
blew The goal kick brought the final
/ score to SIS.
/ A good share of the stellar work
Saturday WAS done by Blo0mberg. a
man who has been forced nv a bum
ankle 10 stay on the side lines most OF
The time hitherto. He surprised
friends and foes alike by his remark
able ability TO slip away from the op-
position and make large gains. Amer
the plucky little end. also played his
best game Of the season. Anderson al
quarter and Gaylord at half did good
work and Randolph, Nordgren and
Ekstrom were the stairs in the line.
Macomb's best man by all odds was
Pugh, the right half He seemed to hi
the only man capable of breaking
through Augustana's front for goog
gains. Decker, the red headed Ief
half also did good playing. The Ma.
comb boys were game to the last bu
Angustana kept hammering away A
them from whistle to whistle 8nf
