(C01tinuod fro,,, ,oooo
Continued from page H.


play during which the ball changed
hands three or four times with
neither team threatening, Edwards
shot a long forward pass to Pagen-
kOpf who raced 30 yaTCs for another
touchdown. Edwards kicked goal and
the score was-Lancaster IA; Fenni-
more O.
On the second play after the kick
off, Huff was hurt and had to leave
the game, Cliff taking his place at
left half The half ended a minute
later with the ball in Lancaster's
possession on Fennimore's 25-yard
line
The third quarter was an even up
affair, both teams gaining freely in
the mid-field but failing whenever
they neareds their Opponents 25-yard
line During this quarter Fennimore,
in desperate attempt to score, open
ed up with her forward pass attack
and succeeded in Completing several
pretty ones. However, many were
knocked down, some were intercepted
and in the end they lost about as
much as they gained by this form of
play.
At the beginning e. the fourth,
Sweeney went in at tackle and Grimes
replaced GOvier at guard. FennimOrc
was firing fast and Lancaster had
solved her formations to such an eX-
tent that her running game could not
gain so they again resorted to for
ward passing Lancaster, however,
seemed to have solved this attack
and it did not work as it did in the
third quarter.

mid-feld and Edwards from fake
end run passed the Dall to Mcdonald
and continued on around left left end
where he caught McDonald's forward
pass for the third touchdown. A
moment later he kicked the goal and
the score was-Lancaster ri; Fen
nimore 0. Here it remained to the
end Of the game in spite Of Fenni-
more's frantic effort TO stave off a
shut out.

Comments on the Game
Many competent observers express
sed the opinion that the referee was in
error in whistling Edwards down in
his run from the first kickoff How
ever, as he had blown his whistle no
protest was made by Lancaster even
though it did cost a touchdown.
Aside from the tHree long runs
which resulted in touchdowns Fen
nimore held Lancaster about even on
ground gained. Had only one of these
runs ended in a touchdown we might
have said that the game was won on
a fluke but when the same thing hap
pens three times ana almost fourth
we must admit that < superior play
ing.
Rector's run from behind his own
goal line was iashy and sensational
but it was bad football; SO bad in
deed that it was this quality alone that
made it successful.
The play throughout the game was
fierce and both sides were penaized
several times for off side and each
drew a penalty for unnecessary
roughness. On only one occasion |
however, did this roughness take the !
form of an apparently deliberate at |
tempt to injure a fellow player. This |
one exception was the deliberate |
"kneeing" and consequent severe in (
jury of Huff after he was down and |
the ball was dead Such conduct on |
the part of any player is reprehen
sible and should call forth a. severe
censure from his team mates as from
his opponents.
Sweeney and Grimes. the two sec
ond string men who got into the
game in the final quarter, acquitted =
themselves we'll, Grimes especially
going through from his position as
guard and tackling like a demon on
several occasions.
Edwards, Seipp. Huff, Cliff, Pagen-
kopf and Orval GOvier played their
last game for Lancaster. Big holes
to be filled but some one will have to
fill them and Wen have another good
team next year
