HUMBLED
HEGEW|SCH

The East Chicago athletic field was
the scene Of a hard gridiron struggle
yesterday afternoon when the Hege
wisch A. A. lost to the Gophers of East
Chicago by a 9 TO O score.
Held to a 90 score and outplayed by
their heavier opponents in the first half
East Chicago came back strong in the
third quarter and after three minutes of
play succeeded in crossing Hegewisch's
line for the only score Of the game. A
short forward pass. Darrow to Cleary.
resulted in the aforementioned marker.
The game started with East Chicago
kicking TO Hegewisch who returned the
ball to the center of the field With
series Of well directed end runs and
line bucks the Hegewisch eleven carried
the pigskin to East Chicago's twenty
five yard line where the Gopher line
held. Carlson. East Chicago's speedy
half. ran twenty yards and barrow hit
the line for five yards. Madura was
sent through tackle for six yards. On
the next play the Gophers fumbled and
it was Hegewischs ball on their own
forty yard line The team then took
turns carry the ball down the field. At
half time it was HeEewisch's ball on the
Gopher's IS yard line.
with the exception Of the first few
minutes of the third quarter the second
half was a $3.50 affair.
Burill, Darrow. Madura. Cleary Hud-
son and Carlson represented the Goph-
er's chief offensive strength while
Brown and Mickey played a good de-
fensive game. For Hegewisch Free
meyer, at end, was easily his teams
best performer.
Next Sunday the Gophers play the
Medn a. c. Of Chicago at East Chi
cago.

IMPORTANT NOTICE.
To the Pledge Card Campaign
Com m iftnoc.-

To the Pledge Card Campaign
Committees
| have appointed a large com.
mittee over the county in order
lessen the work to be done by
each, and find that it is impos-
sible for me to get letter to
each member of the committee.
However, the list of appoint
ments was printed in The Bran
don News last week and the
chairman of each committee will
advise you of your appointment.
1t is certainly to be hoped that
our county will not fall behind in
this movement to help win the
war. Our Government is asking
very little of us who stay at
home. BY reason of the great
help which we may be to the
Government, since we are asked
| to do nothing which would injure
us in the least, the people of
America will respond as one man
to this request to sign the pledge
cards. If Rankin county falls
behind it will be because | or
the committees | have selected
have failed, not because the peo-
pie are not with the movement.
1t is therefore up to us. commit
teemen and women, to give our
selves over during this campaign
to the work. With subcommit-
tees over each district, appoint
ed with reference the conven-
fence to them of the community
they are to work, the work isn't
going to be hard on any one. If
these committees will perform
this little service for the Gov
eminent, no family will be with
out an opportunity to sign the.
pledge card.
Remember the Campaign
Week, October 18th to Novem-
Der 4th. Please send inl the
pledges signed each day, so that
/ can promptly report for our
county. The cards are to be
sent to me when signed. and for
warded by me to the Admins
traitor. Franked envelopes will
be furnished each committee for
the purpose.
Yours very truly,
CARL STINGILY.
Chairman.
