CREENBUSIiERS
TASTE DEFEAT
BY HIGH TEAM
STUDIES Hard Pressed in
Practice Game Won
By 10.
BY sALRI Al.

backheld. the high school squad de-
feated the Greenhush Athletic club
team, 2 to 0, in . practice game Sat-
urday afternoon at Douglas park.
The islanders played listlessiy
most OF the game and it was not
until the last half that they woke
up to their opportunities. The old
night that was put up by the team
against the alumni was lacking.
The school team started the
game without Harper or Blanken-
burg. Blankenburg was out of town
for the day and Harper Was on the
sidelines because he had not been
out to practice last weGk. Masters.
full. was shifted to half. Captain
Henke started ut fullback. Pannel,
new man on the squad, lined up
at the other half.
The Greenbushers kicked on and
for the first half the ball see-sawed
up and down the field, neither side
being able to gain materially. At
the beginning Of the second quarter,
Harper replaced PANEL at half.
The Greenbushers started q drive
down the field that was finally
stopped on the 40-yard line. The
quarter ended with the ball in the
middle of the field.
Henke Goes On Line.
Between the halves it was decid-
ed that it would be- better for
Henke to play on the line and help
open holes. Accordingly Masters
went back to his old position at full
and PANEL went back at half. The
high school kicked OF and after the
Greenbush failed to gain, received
the ball. Harper started the gain
ing by making 20 yeards around
end. More ground was made until
the ball was on the 25-yard line.
Here the Greenbush line held and
Shelter stepped back for a drop.
the kick was blocked, but the
Greenbush who blocked it was
of side and the penalty gave the
high team first down. A smash by
Masters put the ball on the 5-yard
line and Harper went through the
hole made by Henke and Anderson
for a touchdown. Shelter booted
the ball over the cross bar, making
the score z to 0.
! During the last quarter. the
school men had it all their own
way and the ball was almost con-
stantly in the Greenbush territory.
Once during the final round. the Is
landers advanced the>bal up to the
5-yard line only to lose it on FUN
BILE. In the last part of the quarter
Coach Kimmel sent in quite few
subs to get them used to the con-
fjct.
Old Weaknesses.
Although the high squad did not
play as hard as 1t probably would
have in a scholastic game, the same
weaknesses show up to some extent
in the backfeld as last week. The
line Is improving and opens holes
at all times. The islanders gained
every time they tried a plunge
through the line, but it was the end
runs that failed to make ground
most OF the time.
The team is still using simple
plays and has yet to perfect a
strong passing attack. Only cou-
Die of passes have been tried by the
high school in its two games. By
next Saturday the team will be
equipped with some fuzzy plays and
a good passing attack. As yet,
there has been no game scheduled
to I'LL the vacancy next Saturday
left by the backing out Of Savanna.
