How the Game Was Played
As Viewed By the Sport
Writer of The Banner
(By Fred Hayes)

Playing on slippery field, parts OF
which were covered with puddles of
water several inches deep, and be.
fore crowd estimated close to three
thousand, Kenyon college was down
ed IA to 0 in their annual grid battle
with Denison university, on White
field at Newark Saturday.
1t was evident that Kenyon's big
idea was to play a defensive game,
and thus remain content in holding
her heavier opponents down, rather
than to take chances on cutting loose
with her open field game, in an en-
deavor to score herself The Kenyon
men were given orders to punt on the
third down, or, If the ball was deep in
their territory, to kick on the first
down. Kenyon battled stubbornly in
an effort to keep the red and black
machine away from her goal. The
Gambler eleven resorted almost en-
tirely to line plunging while the Den
ison attack varied.
Coach Livingston's "Big Red" team
from Granville was the first to make
it's appearance upon the scene of bat
tie. Shortly before the start of the
game, the purple jerseyed athletes of
Kenyon arrived and trotted out onto
the field for some snappy signal prac-
tice.
Mt. Vernon Boys Play
Donald Goodell and John Wolver-
ton, both of whom are former Mt.
Vernon high school football players,
participated in the game. Goodell,
who plays quarterback, ripped off IA
yards in the initial period for Ken
yon's longest gain Of the contest.
| Wolverton replaced Abrahms at
rightend for Kenyon.
Denison Scores In Second
Although it can hardly be said that
Denison's aerial offense was great
success, that is, looking at it from
the number of passes she completed
in proportion to her attempts, yet the
forward passes that she did get away
with figured most prominently. Pass
es were responsible for both of Den
ison'sA touchdowns. Each of the
counters were registered in the Sec
ond quarter. With the pigskin plant
ed on Kenyon's 20-yard line in Deni-
sons possession, the Denison HEAVIER
hurled pretty pass to the waiting
arms Of Jefferson, who caught the
oval. while standing behind the Ken
yon goal. Denison secured her next
touchdown in much the same man.
ner as she did the first. A Denison
man blocked Kenyon kick and the
Granville team recovered the ball six
yards from the Kenyon goal posts. On
the following play, the Denison full
back grabbed Off a pass back of the

The Denison eleven, with a number

Thinking and Muscle
Bv DR.. VIM. A. McKeever,

some time to reveal it's own weak
ness. The pale book student 10
usually only a memorizer. He 10
sometimes a cyclopaedia of ready
made answers, but he lacks tho
stamina for deep and original think
ing.
The weak-bodied child lacks ag-
gressiveness. He shrinks from
trouble and withholds his opinion
where ii needs to be thrown boldly
into the game of discussion. He
tends to be afraid to put his body
upon the tasks the mind contrives
for his performance. And here the
parents OF girls sin far more than
the parents of boys, imagining that
soft delicate body is somehow ev-
idence Of refinement.
Every Girl a TOmboy.
Running, climbing, swimming,
hiking working short shifts and
all-round rough-and- exer-
else will build your child's body
and open the way for clear forcful
thinking on his part. UP to ten or
eleven every girl should be Tom
boy and hurdle into the muscle
building games practically the same
as her brother.
Both educators and legislators
are seking way out of the soft.
mushy condition into which our
young tend all the while to lapse
for want of proper exercise and
physical training. they are seek
ing both statute laws and improved
curricula intended to save the
young generation from the fate OF
the mollycoddle, knowing that
every child which we permit to
grow up undeveloped is a contribu-
tion to the future weakness of the
nation.
