In a game featured by sparkling
end runs and long passes. Keokuk
high school closed its 1870 football
season with glorious victory over
an ancient rival, Carthage high, win
ming by the one sided count of IS to
10. Douglas made seven of the touch
downs by brilliant dashes around the
end, and through the entire Garth
age team on broken field running
PARCELS, Millspaugh and Lancaster
added three more tpuchdowns and
/ Schlotter Kicked eight goals
/ Credit for the victory must be
shared by every man on the team
Keokuk high never played better
football in the entire season Every
man was on the ball and covering
| the play like a veteran Interference
that was wonderful was given to the
backfield men in their dashes. The
after time by the plunging of the
Keokuk line, and the backfield men
( followed through with ease.
| Only once was Keoknk held for
downs in the entire game, and that
/ was after penalties had been in
f1icted for offside playing. Carthage
made first down only five times, and
one of these was On account of penal
ties inflicted against the locals
| Millspaugh played the best game
of his entire career yesterday, and
his interference for Douglas was
marvellous. He made a couple of
fumbles that we're not costly, burt he
more than made up for these mis-.
plays by his splendid work on the
backfeld.
/ Landmann who played his last
game for Keokuk high proved as
usual tower of strength in the
line, and he fittingly closed his career
on the purple squad IN Bryant, who
has been giving good account Of
himself at guard, caught two hong
!passes, and made considerable gain
on each. Pyle at center. Schlotter at
I full back, and PARCELS at quarter all
played splendid football. SchilHng
replaced PARCELS who has an injured
leg, at one period of the game, and
in the second half PARCELS came out
latter making touchdown IN the
final period. Several OF the second
team men were inserted into the
line in the fourth period OF the
lgame.
Visitors Completely Outclassed.
The visitors were woefully weak
lcompared with the showing they
made last year, and the one-sided
tscore yesterday more than made up
for the two defeats sustained by
Keokuk at their hands last year
First down only five times in a game
shows a fatal weakness. Two of
these were secured On forward
passes, which were hurled in the
final period in a last desperate at
tempt to pierce the Keokuk defense,
and score. One other came on ac-
Ecount of penalties, and they made on
istraight line plays. The line had
little defensive power, and the backs
failed to penetrate the Keokuk wall
to any extent.
