against Drawn. the Marshalltown, high
school football eleven Saturday after
noon defeated Newton high by score
of % to 0. Altho expected to win, Mar
shalltown's rather easy victory was
somewhat Of surprise. considering
that the team was crippled. Newton
did not offer as interesting a contest as
the state training school boys from
| Eldora ,did the preceding Saturday.

poor. while the defense, at times ex-
cellent, was not consistent.
Three touchdowns, two field goals
and a safety gave Marshailtown its %
points. Newton al no time threatened
TO count. Spectacular runs by Bowman
and MCCreery gave Marshalltown two
touchdowns, while the third came after
a most remarkable sprint by McCreery,
twice across the field of play, and re-
peated hammering at the line. The
safety added two points when the visit
ing quarterback misjudged punt which
he finally gathered in an his own goal
line, only to be forced back from the
field of activities by a Marshalltown
tackler.

! ular runs, once traversing forty-seven
yards of the field to plant the ball be-
hind the Newton goal line, and again
