GARY WINS;
OUTWEIGHED
BY ELKHART

Gary's husky gridlron warriors kept
up their winning streak Saturday after
noon at the Emerson field when they
took the fast Elkhart high school team
into camp by the we'll earned score Of
800. At no time during the game did
they permit the visitors 70 threaten
their goal Lne
The afternoon was ideal football
weather and an unusually large crowd
saw the battle. Gary made its FIRST
touchdown in tile close OF the first half
when Fitzpatrick recovered a fumbled
punt and took the pigskin over for the
FIRST score. Fumbles defeated Gary out
Of several more markers. with but a
few minutes to play Dunlavy scored the
second touchdown
Although the visitors outweighed the
Cary lads. Elkhart showed themselves
a scrappy aggregation and played a
good hard clean game. Gary doomed
up in fine form and showed lots Of pep
and speed as result Of the rigid prac-
tice given them by Coach Jack Gilroy
last week
Next week Cary IS scheduled TO face
East Chicago whom Hammond mopped
the field with Saturday afternoon. Ham
mond win clash with South Bend next
Saturday and Gary viii watch its out
come with interest. They expect Ham
mond and South Bend to be their hard
est opponents.

The defeat Of the Hammond
football team yesterday by the
Racines may be attributed
largely to the fact that when
Manager Parduhn got the team

buy them red wooden mittens.
Lack of these made their fing-
ers cold and hence the atrocious
fumbling. The members of the

Howart gamboled through enemy lines
for a touchdown. Gearing kicked goal.
Five minues before time was called for
