GOPHERS AND
TIGERS FAIL
TO SCORE
by GOPHER FAN


When it comes to playing a high
grade brand OF football and when
you have to fight SO that the oppos-
ing side does not make their first
down, the East Chicago Gophers
held the Trumbil Tigers, an aggre-
cation from I-ondale
With about three thousand fans
looking on, the Gophers displayed
all they had. They bucked up
against a team which outweighed
them from ten to fifteen rounds a
man. The old fight was there. and
many times with the Tigers to go
about yard. the Gophers fought
and fought hard TO hold the enemy,
and the enemy they did hold. Not
once during the entire gine did the
Tigers gain q first down.
The Gophers sure played In tough
luck Three times while on tho 10
yard line the ball was snapped and
fumbled. The boys were on edge
and always ready to go. but were
just little over anxious
The game started with the Tigers
receiving. The man chat caught the
ball was downed in his tracks with
out making yard. They had three
down and had to kick. The Goph-
ers went down to their 1o-yard line
but the breaks were against them
and a tumble gave the ball to the
Tigers. At TO stage OF the game
was the opposing side in the East
Chicago territory.
Shorty Long at quarter displayed
some wond hend work. He
his men through. At one time the
Gophers went the whole distance of
the field hitting the line. only to get
TO the eremey's 1o-yard line and
then tumble.
Click, the youngster who has been
in two games with the Gophers
showed that he could tear through
a line, as did RICH Halfback Os-
wego, this pair making gains Of
several yards through the Tiger
line. Jimmy Hasset. the new fun
back. also lived up to his reputation
for hitting the line.
To show the real Gopher fighting
spirit Madura went into the game
with a bad leg at his POSITION in the
beckheld. Hewas in paid right aft
er the first play. but would not 60
out. He made some nice plunges.
which brought many a cheer from
the fans.
One of the long looked for games
will take place next Sunday at Five
Points when the Gophers mete tho
Whiting Friars. The Friars have
not lost a game this season, but
have won three and tied one. The
whiting team Is pretty heavy and
II will take all the Gophers have in
them to win The game will start
