Luck Breaks Against Hammond
Loose Defense, FOTma-
ton Loses Game.

=
Fiasco football in replica OF the Rs-
cine game earlier IN the season was
witnessed by seventeen hundred fans
At the ball park yesterday
afternoon when Pine Village defeated
frank Blocker's eleven, 81 to s, after
being donated two touchdowns. The
loose style center and open line play on
defense again proved q failure against
line %plunging.
AS a result OF the performance yes
terdsy Manager Paul Parduhn last
evening discharged Sheridan. Simmons
and Longnecker TO make room for new
material. Bacon. the biggest ground
gamer for Pine Village, was one of the
stars annexed by Parduhn who viii
have several new men out TO practice
tomorrow night.
with King of Harvard, Bacon shat
tered Hammond's defense and never
permitted the outcome Of the game TO
be in doubt after the first five minutes
OF play when King after a series of
line plunges made the initial touch
down. Every three downs Pine Village
gained ten yards. The line
offered the most feeble resistance but 1t
was not as much the fault of the three
or four men generally there but the
system of a loose instead of a compact
defense system. There were gaps in
the checkerboard Hammond defense big
enough to drive a horse through.
Feel Need of myers.
Clinks Myers, pep king of the Ham
mond club. was missing in the back
field at the start Of the game. owing to
an injured knee and Kohl. an end. was
used in his position. Because Sheridan.
simmons or Longnecker were not con-
sidered strong enough for the position
although all are ackheld men-Par-
duhn decided to dispense with their
services. Kohls performance as half
back demonstrated that he is still a
good end and later in the game he was
shifted to his old position TO let SIM
mons have a try. Myers entered the
contest IN the fourth period and FOR
the first time during the game Ham
mond took the aggressive and played
Pine Village off their feet. IL was a
long forward pass. Halstrom to Myers
for a forty yard gain. that enabled
Paddy Driscoll to get within scoring
distance and make Hammond's only
touchdown.
Nolan Breaks An Arm.
After stopping the Pine Village runs
Rround his end and doing yeoman work,
the plucky Nolan, one Of the most vaiu-
able men on the Hammond team, was
put out for the season IN the third
period yesterday when his right arm
was broken near the wrist.
Green, Hammond guard, played near
~ the entire game With the use OF one
eye. the other being blinded by blood
from q wound across the lid. The big
guard weakened but played a harder
game in the second half than the first.
