Sundays Rerults-Russwood Park.

Y. M. /. 4, Royal Rubber Roofing 0.
Wade Millers 5, Smart Millinery |.
The DeSoto league staged two fast
games Of soccer at Russwood park Sun
day afternoon. In the opening game
the Y. NJ. !, team defeated the Royal
Rubber Roofing team, 4 to 0. while in
the second game the Wade Millers de-
feated the Smart Millinery team, 5 to /.
The first game was not an unlocked
for victory as the Royal Rubber Roofing
team has been gathered together hur-
riedly and Manager Fitzpatrick has not
been able to gather one of the strongest
lineups which is possible owing to lack
OF time. However, he has a willing,
aggressive bunch and with practice SEES
sions should make trouble. The Y. NJ.
l. boys played an improved game and
will be hard to head in the pennant
chase. Joyce starred for the Y. NJ. l..
together with Haggerty and the O'Brien
brothers turning In some sensational
play, while the losers play was fea-
tured by the playing Of Kelly and Fitz-
patrick.
Goals: II. o'Brien, Haggerty, Nc
Bride and Joyce,
The second game was rather a sur
prise, Manager Hockersmith seems to
have struck a soccer neighborhood In
lining UP his club which now seems to
be off on the right foot, The Smart
Millinery team was considerably re-
inforced with Crutchfield and Brooks,
who played sensational soccer, How
ever, their backfield went to pieces in
the first half and four goals were tall
lied.
The second half was a different tale,
however, as the goals were one to each
team. The Smart Millinery team got
within easy goal distance, however, bril-
liant interference and massed plays
causing the ball to be rebounded and
kicked back to safe territory, only to
be worked to the goal line again by
the Millinery boys. The Wades showed
a surprising lineup and deserve credit
for the steady game they showed. Tur-
ner, Riley, Hanna and Hockersmith
played well for the winners, while
Brooks and Crutchfield showed well for
the losers.
Goals: LAwhorn, Wilson, Riley, Col
Inns, Hanna and Brooks.

would ~penalize the "kickcr-out," that is
the player who boots the ball over the
boundary lines on the side Of the field,
by awarding n free kick instead OF h
throw-in, lie would have II that a
player could not be ruled offside on
two thirds OF the playing pitch, or In
other words, that a player can only
be given offside on the third portion
OF the field at the opposing goal, instead
of half as Mt present, He also rec
ommcnds that a goal could be scored

CITATION FOR A PosT-sEASoN football game between the
a Normal team and Memphis University school has already started.
Az owing to the overwhelming defeat of Central High by Normal
IVA Saturday at ROSEWOOD park, The Normal outfit is anxious for
~ another crack at the Red and Blue machine, being confident that
4 I'd another meeting will return them the winner. On the occasion
of the first meeting between NJ. U, S and Normal the former
team was victorious, but it will. be remembered that the officiating was
unusually putrid and many were the claims that Normal had not re-
ceWed a fair deal.
In case M. U. s, defeats High on Thanksgiving day, which seems
probable, owing to the poor showing of High last Saturday, NJ. U. s.
will be the city champions. In that event, Normal would like to take
on the M. U. s. outfit in a post-season contest with competent officials,
believing that they are superior to the Red and Blue.
Whether NJ. U. S, will grant the request for a post-season contest
is not known.
