Our Boys Take Second Place

/
Last Tuesday afternoon the Forsyth
Lions left with their coach, Mr.. Craw-
ford, and Mr.. Wyke for Springfield.
The trip going was hard one, and
many times the lads were required to
push the cars through the mud, All
went fairly well until about seven miles
from Ozark. There Mr.. CrawIord's Car
broke a hub and Mr.. Wyke's car con-
Meeting rod. Through the kindness
Of stranger, Mr., Crawford obtained
hub and was able TO proceed, Mr..
Wyke having gone on ahead. Mr..
Wyke arrived at Springfield at $50 p.
m. and Mr.. Crawford at II 90.
The Lions were very tired and it
seemed as if they would be unable 10
do much, but baths and good sleep
soon brought the pep and real speed
back to them, as a short practice on
the Y. M. c, A. floor the next day
showed they we're there for business.
THE BRANSoN GAME
The first that the Lions drew was
Branson, and old times came back in
the struggle between the city on the
railroad and the county seat. The
whistle sounded, and from the start,
one seeing the wonderful passing Of
the ball By the Smith boys and the
good team work ol the Forsyth team as
whole, could see that Branson was
down ior a real defeat. The first half
ended in score OF % TO 0. In the
second hall Rudolph Justin made a
goal from the center oil the floor, giving
Branson the only two points they made.
The score Sas "a to 2.
OZARK
In the second round Of the tourna-
ment, the Lions drew Ozark and there
vas great rejoicing and longing to get
at the boys Of Ozark; for it was the
team they had tie match With. Ev
cry one Of the Forsyth team was sure
they could win this victory. The
game opened with Ozark securing the
first three points; but spuued on BY
| the cheers Of Jack Johnson and his
college chums, Frances McConkey and
he! friends, the Tollerton girls and al
their little friends, and Mr.. Wyke with
some teams he had helped root to vic
tory, our boys went TO work and Hicks
J the iavorite oil the Oz1rk team, coulC
do nothing in the way Of shooting
goals. The first half ended with ;
score Of 6 to 8 in favor Of Ozark.
But the one thing the Forsyth team
is noted for Is It's coming back in tht
second half. The score at the end o
the second half was IA 10 IA, and ";
had Ave minutes granted Us TO breal

goals in the five minutes. The sta
