WASHINGTON WINS i
FROM LOCAL TEAM
VISITORS RoMP AWAY WITH 20
TOO VICTORY OVER RED
AND WHITE TEAM.

Two long forward passes in the
first and second quarters, a neat drop
kick from the 25-yard line in the
yard line in the first quarter defeated
the Ottumwa High school football
team in the clash with Washington
Saturday at the west end grounds.
| The score was 20 to O. Both teams
/! tried forward passing game, but in
this Washington excelled and the two
touchdowns were made as result Of
long gains through the air. The two
drop kicks by Hendrickson at fullbacll
! were made after unsuccessful at
tempts to continue to break through
the line
New Lineup Of Locals.
The locals started the game with a
reconstructed lineup and were some
what handicapped in playing new pc;
sitions. Captain Fisher and p. Fisher
supported Millet fullback, in the back
field and Carnahan was shifted to end
and Jaques to. left guard. At these
positions Paul Fisher played a smash.
ing game and hit the visitors line for
gains time after time. Captain Dick
\ AoAOA, PAos1A6 III lAO OoShASiA Iva
the first time, showed great ability
| in breaking through Weshington's
heavy line, making several 10 and 10
yard gains and once carried the leath-
er % yards through several tacklers.
Millet could always be- relied on in
punting and booted the oval out Of
the locals danger zone several times.
Whelan played his usual aggressive
game and Carnahan, playing his first
season of football at left end, showed
up well and will probably win place
on the team.
All of the Washington players were
much heavier than the locals and
would have piled up big score but
for the fact that the Red and White
gave every ounce Of strength into the
game and made it a battle royal from
start to finish.

GRAIN REVIEW

+ Chicago, Now 12.-Corn prices de-
veloped considerable strength today re-
flecting the upward tendency of the
New stock market. Weather conditions
handicapped the bears, the outlook be-
ing for much unwelcome moisture, and
for an absence of low temperatures.
Opening quotations which ranged from
nc to 1Ac higher with December
$1.19A to s1.20 and May $1.14% to
$1.15h, were followed by a moderate
reaction from the topside Of the initial
range.
Sympathy with sharp advance in
the value Of oats counted later as IAN
element Of strength in the corn market
The close was unsettled, w to 2hc net
higher, with December s1.20A and May
$1.15A.
OatsNhardened in value as result of
lightness of rural offerings. Country
dealers complained Of car scarcity.
Lower quotations on hogs had only
a temporary weakening effect on pro-
visions. The market soon took an up
ward swing, impelled by grain strength.
