The Filters. playing their first gam'
of the season. had little luck pounding
away on the winners staunch foi
ward wall but persisted in these tao
tics until late in the last period when
an open game. full of passes. made
them dangerous for a moment.
The Franks utterly ignored the for
ward pass. They didn't need it. They
made ten first downs to the Aviator>'
four. Led by Capt. Bert Fry, who
reeled off a total of a hundred yards
or so by himself in swift slices off
tackle and broken field dashes in the
first half. the winners marched for
the goal four times in the first two
periods. Heye fumbled high pass
from center after Fry. MeitZen. Dosh-
inko and Heye had figured in four
successive first downs after taking
the ball on their own 20 yard line fol.
lowing an unsuccessful Kelly Field
attempt at a field goal. This lost the
pigskin 10 the High Filters the first
time. A fiiteen-yard penalty stopped
Fry and company the second trip
goal-ward. The third time was tn
charm. Fry took the Kelly Field punt
out on the losers 34-Nrd line, then
he and Heye made first down. With
fourteen yards to go, Fry ripped has
way through half a dozen wouli-bc
tacklers for a touchdown. Doshinko's
dropkick for extra point was short.
Somebody Slipped Up Here.

The third quarter was uneventful

Each made only one first down.
Kelly Field made a threat in the
last quarter. Tompkins took lateral
pass from Snipes when the Franks
were evidently expecting a forward
pass and travelled 50 yards before he
was stopped on the nineteen-yard line
The Franks holding for three plays.
Tompkins tried a field goal but
missed. That was one of Kelly Field :
two chances to score. The other came
in the fist two minutes of play.

DoshinkO Goes IS Yards.
The last couple of minutes of the
game were featured by a 35-yard run
by Doshinko of the winners. the com.
pletion of an eighteen-yard pass by
Tompkins of the losers and Heye $
interception of a pass that snuffed
out the Fliers' last hope of prevent
ing a shutout.
Kelly Field coaches are working to
whip their material into first-class
eleven. They have been at it but a
short time but progress is 'already
seen. The talent is almost unlimited
and hopes ere high.
The Franks played nothing but
straight football Sunday and their
true strength could not be accurately
gagged. They have speed in their
backfield which should count in an
open style of play.

Franks (12). Kelly Field t0).
