officials Of Burlington Clash Have
Been Picked and Team Will
Make Il 4 Real Booster
Day.

With three teams in the field and
new material appearing every week
for these teams. Keokuk high school
regulars are getting good grilling in
preparation for the game with Wapel-
10 at Wapello this coming Saturday,
and with Burlington at Keokuk Sat
urday, November 6. This game will
be in the nature of a booster game,
and a record crowd is to be the goal.
Wells of Keokuk will referee the game
with Burlington; Ball of Burlington
will umpire. This will insure real
officiating in the field, and the purple
squad is being primed to carry out
the rest OF the program
The game at Wapello Saturday has
several elements of uncertainty, as
it is understood the Wapeilo team is
strong and the locals are uncertain
just how strong they will prove. The
shift plays which were used success
fully last week have all been polish
ed up, and the team is profiting by a

er. Coach Crimmins viii have some
real stuff to uncC~er at Wapello if
he needs it
The biggest game before Thanks
giving, however, will be the game
with Burlington November s. The
Purple and Gray team will be an even
match for the locals, it is believed,
but Keokuk is confident of winning
A big effort is going to be made to
retrieve the loss of last years game
at Burlington
The local camp is cheered with the
advent of new material this week, and
there are sufficient number of men
out each night to make up three
teams. Larsen, Huiskamp, Van Pap
pelendam and Mills were among the
newcomers last night. Every man
who is out this year has a better
chance of getting on the team next
year.
The second team will go to LaHarpe
Saturday for a game with the LaHarpe
high school. This will be the first
regular game for the seconds. 1t is
planned to schedule game for them
on the home grounds some Saturday
as a curtain raiser when the regulars
are playing, or some time when they
are away from home.
