The game was finished in blind
ing dust storm but there was no fur
ther scoring.
The Liberal team played real foot
bah all the time. Most of the scores
were earned by line smashes and end
runs, although several very pretty
passes were completed. Liberal was
exceptionally strong on offense. 1t
was probably the best exhibition OF
interference seen here this season,
while the tackling was of high or
der. Gardens passes were broken up
or intercepted with a frequency which
convinced the Garden team that this
was not the game for them. While
there was possibly some individual
starring at times on the part of ev-
cry member of the team, it ean be
safely said that the team worked as
a smooth running machine thruout
the fray and every player should re-
ceive his share of the praise.
Liberals record this season is phe-
nomenal. The locals have won six
eut Of seven games played. and have
