control of all transportation in a mill

been selected for the work of bringing

pletely outclassed. Despite their hand
leap the downriver boys played as
hard game the last minute Of play
as they did the first Their spirit was
fine. though their stick-to-itivness was
greater than their fight
1t was the old story Of the big
husky pushing the little fellow around
the lot The Burlington eleven was
light and frail as compared to the
frames Of Davenport's men. CIaypool
and Schmidt on the line looked like
giants beside the plucky little fellows
who opposed them.
Davenport played a wonderful game
and played stronger and better than
in any previous game Of the year
There were no prominent stars in the
locals lineup and the seven touch
downs we're made by six different
men Their performance, consider
ing the loss of McKeever and Day
who played only the LAST few minutes
was remarkable, The local backfeld
was noticeable for the harmony OF
play which they displayed, The bunch
has had little time to work together
and yet they showed winning form.

ers and never lost a set throughout
This record is second to none in the
schools history
Carlson plays cool steady game
throughout, relying on judgment 10
