PLAY NON-SCORE GAME
Fair Crowd Enjoys Saturdays Foot
Ball Game-Elkhart Satis-
fled with Treatment

game Saturday afternoon when Elk
hart played with Liberal high II
turned out to be a nin-score game
and was interesting from start to
finish, and at one time Elkhart al
most reached her goal line, and Lib
eral, on the last quarter. missed her
chance by yard.
Elkhart has a good team and prov
ed itself an equal match for Liberal.
Both teams made some splendid plays
and those of Elkhart who deserve
special mention were Smith. half
back. who did some excellent work
he gained most of the ground TO rhis
Elkhart during the plays; Coop and
Denning. tackles, did good work, too
and Meredith, according to Coach
Hall, was on the job and spilled some
mighty good plays. The regular
quarter back for Elkhart was out of
the game entirely Saturday. Coach
Hall of Elkhart was pretty well
satisfied with the work of his team
and the men seemed to put forth
their best efforts in every quarter.
Liberals squad appeared to be in
trim shape. and Hill, Scott. Pile and
Zimmerman certainly made some
clever plays. Pile and Zimmerman
made gain every time they had the
ball Scot was injured in the last
quarter and was relieved by Reust.
1t is an interesting fact to know
that Elkhart has played four games
this year winning but one and that
from Texhoma. She played Good
well, Hugoton, Guymon and Texho-
ma. Liberal toe, holds the same rec
ord, playing four games and taking
but one.
The average weight of the Elkhart
team is less than $50 pounds accord
ing to Coach Hall. Coach Wood Of
Liberal says his team averages about
i42.
