DENIsoN DEFEATS AUDUBON
Audubon Outweighed Denison. but at
Every Stage Of the Game DenisOn
Outplayed the Audubon Boys

The high school foot ball team jour
neyed down to Audubon last Friday
where they played the high school
eleven of that place and returned
home with the honors, defeating Aud
ubon by the score Of IA to O.
Audubon outweighed the Denison
team about ten pounds to the man but
lat every stage of the game Denison
Ontplayed them. Audubon gained well
when In the middle bf the field but
when they approached the Denison
goal line our boys stiffened up their
defense and they were unable to make
gains. Several times Audubon had
son goal line. but they were unable to
break through the locals.
Rollins proved to be Denison best
ground gamer in this game and in
spite of the fact that he was handi-
capped with sprained ankle he con-
sistently went around the ends for big
gains. Buckley proved good ground
fensive work. Buckley at the close Of
the second quarter intercepted for
ward pass and tore down the field for
so yards for Denison's first touch
down. In the third quarter Rollins
made wide end run and scored the
second touch down.
Denison people who attended the
game stated that the conduct OF the
Audubon people on the side lines was
abomnible and that members Of the
Audubon team openly did their best
to put our players out of the game.
The Audubon school authorities took
no part in it however and the Audubon
coach took one of his men out of the
game for smuggling a Denison player,
the referee not seeing it.
The high school team will play at
Ames Thanksgiving day and a number
Of our people will accompany the
team. Ames was scheduled to play
here but as the game would attract
bigger crowd there 1t was decided to
play it on the Ames gridiron.

were bright and fresh, and the design

which to cover the wearer; the music
