sational line plunges which netted
various handsome gains for the red
and white, Coach Smiths Ottawa
High football eleven turned back to
their old time battering stride and de-
feated the fast Morris eleven IA to u
in one of the cleverest gridiron duels
ever staged at King Field.
Smiths warriors employed their
unique attack very successfully ana
at no time we're they in danger OF de-
feat, although in the last quarter NOR
ris threatened to score when they
carried the pigskin to the Ottawa one
ward line. but right there Smith 5
huskies formed a wall that was I'M
passable and the visiting backs were
held in their tracks That was the
only chance they had to score during
the entire game.
Farrell, Smiths clever left half
hack In the game Saturday opened the
ewes of all Ottawa football critics and
played a wonderful game. His crouch
ing form could be seen at various
times tearing holes through the MOTIFS
wall mile wide and every time he
carried the ball he was good for a
gain of from five to twenty-five yards.
His manner of criss crossing, dodging
and eluding the Morris tacklers was
very clever and admired by every spec
tator of the game. Although he didn't
make a touchdown for the high school
team, he was the star oil the game ana &,
Smith is depending muchly on his SER
vices against the La Salle-Peru squad
next Friday and against Coach Dale's
Streater eleven on Turkey day.
Besides Farrell, Meckenstock and
Carey also proved very valuable men
in the game. Each of them scored a.
touchdown during the game while
Brick" booted the goals.
From the very outstart of the strug-
gle it was plain to see that smith S
team would win the game. They evil
denced their power at the beginning
and not until the final whistle blew
did they give up or slacken thelr
speed. Smiths new defensive wall
stood like the Rock of Gibraltar ana
in several instances the Morris BACK
tielders were tackled for losses OF from
five to ten yards at time. Not a bao
play was made by any individual mem
her of the team and one interesting
feature of the game was the fact that
Smiths men didn't even attempt one
forward pass, while Morris attempted
several of the aerial moves and were
successful in only one or two of them.
Before the big game and before most
of the devotees had gathered at the
field of combat, Smiths second team
defeated the Morris lights 10 to in
a very interesting battle. Cutting as
fullback on the second team ana 'Ked
West at right half were the principal
point getters of the game. Cutting
made the first tally of the game by
means of line plunge at the west
goal while West made the other TWO
and booted one goal.
Throughout the entire affair Morris
was outplayed and outclassed. Thell
drives were checked by the Ottawa
line and at no time did they even
come close to scoring. FOLLOWING Is
