AUDUBON BATTLES TO
A Tie WITH HARLAN
Local Boys Play Friendly Game
With Harltn and Gives Them
Half the Honor

Half the Honor
The last game of the season On
home territory was played last Satur-
day afternoon with Harlan. 1t re-
suited neither in victory nor defeat
to either team, the score being ~ to
IL at the finish. Both teams were
quite evenly matched The Harlan
tOnians were more stocky and carried
more weight at their wethers but
were lacking in football tactics and
speed when compared with their op-
ponets. Both teams presented much
weakness at times. The local ag-
gregatiOn was not up to the standard
they presented the week previous.
Their control and foresight was limit
ed at the critical moments. They
permitted themselves to be taken by
surprise onsloughts of vicious end
runs especially in the latter half of
the game.
The visitors were very weak at
timer keeping their line solid.
.!ere lacking in defensive and
e,IeIr offensive consisted primarily in
the wide end runs which they usually
worked to advantage. 1t was the
only foot ball they could play. Their
training rules were either illegible or
were never followed as they could not
play solidly all the way thru. The
home team were likewise some what
lacking of the form which they
presented in the Carroll game.
One thing about the Harlan bunch
was their carlessness in getting in
; front Of. the local boys and tripping
them or knocking them down. Some
times they seemed to fall in love With
our boys and would throw their arms
around them and would caress to the
extent of pressing them warmly to
their hearts and bosoms. The home
team was at times far more careful
and did not get in their way and
would let the visitors run from one
end of the field to the other just as
fast as they wished to go. They were
not nearly so bold and soft at times
as the Harlan boys, being somewhat
bashful in hugging them and shower
ing rain drops of love upon their
pretty suits. But with all those
things which could be mentioned
that was not nice to the eye, yet the
game was very clean and free from
dirty roughness.
Audubon opened the game with
the kickoff. Harlan returned ten
yards. The visitors then tried a
forward pass which Leach of the
locals intercepted and carried the ball
back for a fifteen yard gain. Bag
ley then made an end run for a gain
of five yards more. Fullerton then
reversed the run, going around left
end for a forty yard dash for touch
down. Goal kick failed making the
