BY JULIUS w. BEYER

less tie with DOwegiac in 1919 was
settled on the oliver gridiron Satur-
day afternoon. The home eleven
showed the visitors that they were
superior 10 the tune of IA to G.
Coach Grandsens men. although
Outweighed by the other team played
fast and worked around the tough
opposition that they had to face.
The new formation that the team has
worked up since the game a week
ago helped greatly in winning the
game. The DOwagiac team was COM
posed of "A bunch OF husgies and
they used their weight 10 advantage
all through the four quarters.
During the early part of the first
quarter IL looked as though Coach
Franson's men had the upper hand
because the home eleven fun Ied
and seemed rusty on their plays.
SabO missed several passes but he
redeemed himself before the whistle
blew for the end of the quarter. He
made the first touchdown and then
kicked the ball over the stick for
goal. Each team frightened up for the
rest OF that quarter and the score
remained the same.
Scorclcss in Second
The second quarter was the hard
est OF the four as neither of the
teams was allowed to register
score. The Dowagiac gridders had
the high men 10 within five yards of
their own goal but their horseshoe
wasn't working and they did not get
the score that they were so close
TO getting. At this time the third
down had been made and it was
Dowagiacs ball one of their men
ran with the ball and ran for the
goal line but Strickler tackled him
and made the fourth down. This
saved the day for South Bend in that
quarter and perhaps the score would
have been quite different had they
gotten that touchdown.
In the third quarter Zelner. who
with ShrOyer were the DOWagiac
stars. made a fine run around the
wing of the home eleven and scored
a touchdown. Then the ball was
intercepted before the goal was
kicked and they received only six
points for their end of the score.
IL was i'm this part of the game that
the tactics of each team were best
seen The South Bend team used
many open plays and passes while
the visitors used rushes almost en-
tireiy

kicks sent the ball across for an
other seven points This made the
score IA 10 o with Dowagiac on the
short end OF H. Zelner again
showed up well i'm this part Of the
game he making most of the gains
for the visitors. Near the end OF the
game a fumSle was made and Sabo
grabbed the ball and ran. The
tumble was made near the 30-yard
line on the South Bend end OF the
gridiron. Sabo ran ana the whole
Dowagiac team followed him and he
was chased 10 the other end of the
field but he crossed the goal line just
i'm time and scored what was thought
20 be a touchdown. but the ball was
called back by the referee. Sabo
