AUDUBON WALLOPED
BY ATLANTIC TEAM
The Locals Meet Defeat i'm the Third
Game of the Season i'm a
Clean Hard Fight
The Audubon foot ball team

Atlantic team at the cruuis.l mo-
ment was responsible fer the cccre
going so strongly against them.
The playing of both teams was of
a decided by peppory kind and the
outcome of the gamc was continually
in doubt till the middle of the last
half. At times the burst of speed
with which the locals started would
fall into a comatose condition and
lose the ball Oh downs and fumbles
On the other hand, Atlantic was able
to take good advantage of those
times when the locals were slack and
make big advances with the ball
Both teams playe>. straight, consist
ent game most of the time.
Audubon tried but one pass and
that failed because of the inability to
freeze to the ball The biggest gains
were made by end runs and line
plunging on the part of both teams.
1t cannot be said that either team
is yellow bunch
for they played the game hard and
fast from start to finish with but
few exceptions.
The shake up. in the local line
made during the week by coach Will
liams greatly strengthened it and
the visitors found it hard to get thru
or force it. The game opened with
Atlantic giving the pig skin the mule
kick which Audubon wrestled with
and fell upon and no return was
made. Thru hard line fighting the
home team gained their distances
regularly and were we'll along the
way for a touch down when they
fumbled and failed to recover the
ball. Misner was substituted for
Krugar in the visitors line and At
lantic worked the ball back to the
enemy's goal posts, by line forcing
and end runs. Atlantic was penal
lied five yards because of off side
which they quickly rcgained, md
carried the ball within 2yard of the
finish for touch down when the
whistle blew as the quarter ended
The second quarter opened with
Atlantic kicked away and Audubon
returned 10 yards. They forced the
ball down the field by going thru
the visitors line till within eight
yards of touch down. Atlantic
revived their pep against the locals
who were held stationary
and could not play
the remaining distance because of a
tumble which the opponents retriev-
ed and made big gains to the fifteen
yard line by smashing the local line
of first defense. The home guards
frightened and held the visitors to
no more gain. Atlantic fumbled on
the fifteen yard line while Audubon
made forty yards by line plugging and
end runs. Hoffman was substituted
for Spencer because the latter played
an Indifferent game. Audubon punt
ed which Atlantic gobbled up only to
be defeated in their attempt to make
a return by Foley's successful tackle.
The Audubon line held the visitors
to no gain and the quarter ended as
Farryer of the visitors substituted
for Walker because of injury.
The second half opened with Au-
dubon doing the toe-lift. Atlantic
accepted but made no return because
of tumble. The Audubon line was
as solid as the Rock of Gibraltar and
Atlantic punted for gain of distance
to the Audubon twenty yard line and
kept the ball in their possession.
The visitors failed to make the re-
quired downs and the ball became
the property of Audubon on referees
decision. Bagiey made an end run
for a fifteen yard gain. The home
team was held stationary and were
forced to punt and were successful in
nabbing the ball away from their OPP
ponents. By end runs and line sma sh-
ing the ball was carried to within
three yards of goal. Thru a tumble
Atlantic gained the ball who rapidly
carried it away from the danger
zone. Audubon was penalized five
yards for off sides. No gains were
made and the quarter ended with
Atlantic being penalized five yards in
the second down.
The last quarter opened with At
lantic held almost stationary till an
opening was forced in the home de-
Tense when ID. Blake made an eighty
yard dash for touch down. Goal
was kicked and the score listened like
a tune of IA to 0. Atlantic booted
the ball away and the locals returned
with it twenty yards. Audubon was
rooted to the spot and an attempted
pass lost the ball to the opponents
and gave them ten yard advantage
Atlantic made a forty ycrd gain thru
strategy but fumbled in the next
play. Audubon found the ball and
made good gains thru line smashing
and end runs. The visitors tighten.
ed and the locals attempted for.
ward pass but failed. They then re
sorted to a punt and Atlantic return
ed ten yards to lose quickly on 6
tumble. Bagley's successful line
piunging made vast gains for the
home team till the visitors frightened
again and forced the locals to pun
and Atlantic made a return of ter
yards. Atlantic fumbled and Peter
sen picked up and made a fade away
for a touch down. Tho goal kick fail
ed and tie score stood IA to 6 for the
visitors. The remainder of tho gar'
was net characterized by anything
sensational and tie half closed with
Audubon as the loser.
The contest was fair and square
deal thru and thru ard
a close hard game
from start to finish. The Atlanti,
team being more beefy had some ad
vantage but they were forced to con
cede to Audubon the compliment
that this years team is far superior
to any this city has had for sil
years. They came here with the ex
pectation of rolling up the score blu
were forced to change their mind
loEg before the game was ended.
