Audubon Played More Consecutive
Ball Friday-Better Form and
Shape Than Before
After an hour and half of waiting
for the Manning squad, the Audubon
boys finally wrecked vengeance upon
the visitors for the games lost in the
fore part Of the season. The oppon-
ents came down from their haven of
homes on the, branch line spoken cf
the creeping things of the earth
before they absented themselves, they
hands of the young warriors of the
County seat.
The local boys showed better trim
and form than they have in any pre-
vious game this season. They start
ed out quite strongly from which
point they continually strengthened
till the last two minutes of play
when the strenuosity of the game be-
gan to tell upon them. The visit
ing team were at all times outclassed
In playing ability with the exception
that they had more beef steak which
was of very little material assist
ance to them. They gradually loos-
ened from the start of the game till
the last few minutes of play, they
became slightly convalescent when
the locals somewhat loosened and re-
Taxed. But 1t made no difference
in the game from the scoring stand
point.
Two weeks ago this paper stated
that the local team could not play a
close hard game. To all appearances
then, the statement was correct.
Last week a similar inference was
made in palmer language. but in this
issue, the writer makes notice of the
Z change of weather on the gridiron
: that has taken place in the last ten
days. The blows are more concen-
trated and faster, the wind more en-
during and the mental atmosphere
is cooler. The rain of enthusiasm
of the girls burst forth and continued
undated from the beginning to the
end. Such has always been the case,
but heretofore, the end always came
too near the beginning-usually
about the end of the first quarter
But they Seemingly took exceptions
to former editorial comments and
enthusiasm at about the hour of ten
that night. Likewise the other fans
had a goodly supply of pepper in
their wind-bags and their vocifera-
lions were added fierceness and fero-
city to the storm cloud that overhung
the Manning soldiers of the foot ball
field that day.
All in all, the local team and their
.Av-aD vxA
of strength and tenacity Friday, that
they have ever made prior to that
days game. A continuance of such
Improvement without necessitatipg
enlarged hats will meet out to the
team the victory of nearly every
game for the remainder of the sea-

Immediately following the arrival
of the visitors, the game be-
gan, Manning kicked off and Au-
dubon made return of ten yards.

made rapidly. In the third down.
Fullerton went around end with the
leather covered bladder under his
arm for gain of rs yards towards
the enemy's goal posts. Following
up the end run with hard line plug
ging, Bagley forced the ball over for
the first touch down-four and one
half minutes after the opening of the
game. Goal kick failed-score 60.
Audubon then met the ball with
the tip of the toe. Manning fumbled
on the catch but managed to pick up
and return ten yards. Being unable

and 1t became the property OF Audi
bon thru referees decision. The
locals then resumed their line plug
ging tactics and with the assistance
of end runs, the second touch down
was made within three and one half
minutes following the first. Again
the goal kick failed and the score
was IL to 0.
Again Audubon used the slipper on
the setting end of the ball, Manning
was blocked SO they made no return.
They were firmly held on their twen-
ty-five yard line till Audubon was
vsaalised twice Of five yards each for
Off sides. Very soon then, Manning
again lost the ball thru referees de-
cision because Of failure to make
their downs. Just at that point the
quarter ended with score of IL to 0
in favor the locals.
In the first paly of the seccnd
quarter, the Manning line was opened
and Bagley carried the oval thru to a
point three yards from the enemy's
goal line before caught. BY line

cured goal kick resulted in the pork
going between the tooth picks and
the astronomical appetite Of the
game was appeared by the addition
Of seven more points of enthusiasm
and energy food for the locals, total
ing the score at that stage of the
game luncheon as 10 to 0, two min
utes after the opening Of the second
quarter.
Again Audubon momentarily unit
ed the toe and ball. Manning fumbled
the Elusive thing of the field which
they recaptured but were unable to
make any return. On the first down
of the play, Audubon was penalized
five yards for off sides. Manning
then worked a most beautiful and
successful forward pass which netted
them thirty yards. An end run Sc
cured them an advance Of ten yards
more, but the locals frightened their
line and revived their Hcrculenan
strength and held the visitors station
airy till the timekeeper blew his
whistle, ending the half-the score
standing 10 to 0, all home favored.
Audubon opened the last half by
kicking off and Manning making a
return of ten yards. The visitors
then fumbled which caused them a
loss of three yards which they could
not regain because of Audubon's I'M
preginable line. The ball very short
" became the locals property thru
