Dear Sir:
1 am writing these few lines just
to let you know how things stand
in regard to the Whiting Friars and
East Chicago Gophers.
I have read in you paper In the
last Few weeks the remarks made
about tie ScatenA Tornadoe5 being
afraid to play either one Of these
teams. This IS all wrong and 10
:ou so I Will give the scores
of tile games played by the S~ca,enas
this season.
Englewood Crescents. o; Seats. So.
Oak Park Friars. o.; Seats, 0.
Famous Chicagoas. o; Seats, 49,
Gary Cardinals. 6; Seats, z.
This gives the Scatenas a clear
slate with four games won. one tie
no defeats. scoring rs points to
their opponents IL. or an average Of
better than two touchdowns TO a
game And that against the strong
est teams in the Midwest league.
A week before the Scatena-Famous
Chicago tilt. the Gophers held Carl
sons rev TO a scoreless tie. while
the Seats beat this outfit 10 to 0, on
a wet field. The Gophers after learn
ing the score. claimed the city hall
lads did not have their full strength
in the lineup. when they played the
Seats. But the manager of the Fa-
n..e ~ 90 - -~t1 ~ 49,
bunch hat played the shadow dod-
gers at the East Chicago Arena He
also praised the work Of Schillo,
saying he was one of the best foot
ball players in the Midwest league.
The Whiting Friars, who have one
of the fastest teams In the county,
claim the Seats are afraid to tackle
with them. More bunk. On Nov
18th Whiting is playing Lowell and
shooting the bunk abou how tough
Lowell really Is. Here is the dope
how Lowell stands. They played
the West Hammond Maroons on
their own grounds and only beat
them II to O.. A few weeks later
Whiting Travelled to West Hammond
and beat the Illinois lads AZ to 0.
At thai rate Whiting ought to spot
Lowell about 5 touch downs and then
beat them by a few more.
1 have seen the Gophers, Friars.
East Chicago Dodgers and Seats in
action. and think the Hammond lads
are the best organized outfit of the
bunch. In Schillo they have a man
that a out-point any football PLAY
er in the state and Midwest league.
Warne. Shanks. ~Siedenbach and Dan
iels are all backfeld men of high
calfber. While the line is second
10 none. Just glance over this array
or stars moulded into one stone wall:
Worland. Tague. Hudson and Ket-
chel' four Of the fastest ends in the
county, Worland and Tague are two
OF the deadiiest tacklers around this
region. Payne. Smith. Can't. Spoer-
ner and Searles are tackles that are
Iacklers, Payne and Searles are two
men that have never been layed cold
IN a football game, and thew are
tough, ask the Gophers, they know
1hey faced them last year Searles
plays his first game Sunday. as he
IS the future Barney Oldhled around
Rooey race track. he kept out Of foot
Dali until the racing season closed
Smith and Capt. Spoerner need no
mention. as every one knows. Drum
stead. Fitzgerald. Kaiser and Heimke
are as good a quartete of guards
as can be found. Last but not least
snow me a center who can compare
with Nelson. former captain of Lom-
bard College and All-title nine con-
ference selection for two years.
The Friars or Gophe-s have not
played as strong a teams as the
Seats have this season. and If they
can be induced TO play anywhere but
IN their own backyard. the score
would tell just how good they are
