turning to the Ford county capital,
they took nothing-not one little
scone to remind them of their trip
to the Capital City of the Southwest.
The game was Liberals from the
time the whistle blew. Never, for
one brief moment, did Liberals hun
dreds of rooters have the fear of los
ing in their hearts. 1t was so easy.
The Liberal lads had been caution
ed against over-confidence,, and they
took no chances. They played good
heady game throughout, and were
equal to a much stronger team than
could be CLEANED from the twenty
two members of the Dodge City
squad.
Candidly, Liberal fans were ner-
vous when the game started. Fields
was out on account of injuries, as
was Mann. Bratten was in poor
shape, but he started the game and
played wonderful football. One con-
ISOLATION however, was the fact that
Harnden was playing, and fans have
lot of confidence in Harnden.
The poor showing made by the lads
from the banks of the Arkansas,
justified Coach Wood in sending in
second team men, but even then
Dodge was unable to make substan-
tial gains, and the last score was
made by Engle second string man,
while W. Dckerson another second
string man made Ia yards of the dis
lance necessary to do this.
Among the second string men in
the lineup we're: W. Dickerson, f.
Schneider, V. EngR, d. Caul, c.
Boles, X. Hill, M. Bloom leaving
but four first team men in the line
up.
During the game Dodge sent in
Substitute after substitute, to no
avail. Dalton was sent in in an
endeavor to make a score by pass
ing and only the vligance of the
Liberal team prevented his success.
He was easily the star of the Dodge
City team.
The Democrat owes an apology to
the Liberal team for its forecast of
the game printed in Fridays paper.
In this write-up we printed the pos
sble score of 20 to 6. Just why
we put that six in for Dodge City
it is hard to say, but we hardly dar-
ed to hope for a shutout. Here's the
apology.
Since the Dodge City game local
fans are doping the team out to take
every game the remainder of the
season and if they keep hitting the
practice and using their heads they
can do it.
The following is a summary of the
plays which resulted in scores:

35 yard line. Mahoney went 2
yards through the line, Bratten goes
out and Engle takes his place at
left half. Dickerson went through
