Ada Crew Won From
q. Locals By 20-7 Score

The"local boys put up a game. fight
in their football battle with Ada Fri
day and in spite of the fact that they
were outweighed they kept the Ada
crew on the run until the last quar-
ter, when Ada put in some fresh men.
The locals took the short. end Jof the
20 to 7 score.
Injuries to. several of the best men
of the local squad proved a handicap
which Upham's crew was unable to
4pverconte,,s hut those who: . saw. ..tHe
gaI1e: from the sidelines said the Boys
played a$creditable game and II they
had been able to keep the fast pace
to. the end they would. have, narrowed
the score considerably. r
The first three quarters Of the
game were played within Ada's 20
yard line and at several times they
had the ball within a few yards of
the goal but were unable to puncture
the Ada. line.
Kirk at full for the locals was put
out Of the game after suffering sew
eral broken ribs as the result Of be-
ing tackled and falling on the ball.
Several. other players were. put. out
early in. the LII as the result of
injuries, and as Upham. had no
seasoned players to fll>the ranks, the
lineup was badly weakened. The
locals will play a return game with
Ada here on October 20, it, was an
nounced this morning.
