DOUGLAS OUT OF GAME
This Took Some of the Pep Out of the
Team and Quincy Had Little
Trouble to
Win.


field Saturday afternoon to watch and
cheer the Blue and White on to
$50 victory over the Keokuk eleven
in the last game on the local grid
iron.
The local team was in the game
from the start and secured its first
touchdown few moments after the
kickoff. Keolluk came to the city a
disabled team, and with Douglas,
their star halfback, out of the lineup
with a broken collar bone, they failed
to display enough pep to beat a
freshman team.
Aerial football was resorted to in
the main by the local high school,
very few attempts being intercepted.
They also worked several end runs
and fakes to good advantage. The
visitors were taken by storm and
were carried off their feet during
their first half Their defeat was due
directly to the fact that they failed
to fathom and block long forward
passes of the locals Again, when
they had the ball their interference
was way behind and continually in
the way Of the runner.
Had Good Record.
Keokuk has a seasons record
which has been impressive and the
score yesterday shows that they did
not go into the game with the team
or the spirit that has marked their
past seasons work. A week ago
Saturday Keokuk beat Burlington "a
to and Thursday they lost a heart
breaking game to Fort Madison, to
G. 1t was in this game that their
I~ J,ale
carried off the field with a broken
collarbone. Reports have it that the
loss took the heart out of the team
which was built around this scinhl-
lating colored boy.
Start Scoring Early.
Quincy got the toss and took the
kickoff. In the first few moments Of
play Johnson received a pass from
GiImer and took it over the line for
the first touchdown. Gilmer kicked
goal, making the score to 0. At
this stage of the game the tacklins
of the Quincy men was snappy and
vicious Poor interference by Keo-
kuk paved the way for the gains of
the locals A pass from Giimer to
Affre netted a good gain and on the
next play Gilmer dropped neat boot
between the posts, making the score
10 to 0. A successful pass and a
neat end run brought the ball to
Keokuk's two yard line where they
stiffened and Quincy lost the ball on
downs. With the bail safely out of
the shadow OF their goal posts the
visitors weakened and allowed Mar
rett to slip by on an end run Of if
teen yards for a touchdown He also
kicked goal Score II to @.
On the kickoff Keokuk failed to
grab the spheroid and it went for a
touchback, the ball starting into
action ON Keokuk's 20 yard line
Shields grabbed an incomplete pass

yards and a pass to Marrett scored
another touchdown. Glmer kicked
goal and the score was "a to 0. The

minute of the second half when d
pass to Johnson scored another
Gilmer contributed his boot for q
field goal and the score was 81 to 0
Keoluk showed a squirt and com
pleted its first pass which netted

the visitors playing. His grapples
were sure and certain and never {
man went by his swooping grasp
The half ended with the ball in the
middle of the field and the score
80 in favor Of the locals.
In the second session the work o
Affre was particularly brilliant H.
was as elusive as an eel and hi
lodging would have done credit tt
any player. He took a pass for ;
touchdown soon after the opening o
