BELT SHUTS OUT
GERALDINE 1910


second and final game on the hom
grounds this season turned the table
on the team which had defeated then
two weeks before by score of 26 t
6 and sent them home with the shor
end of 10 to score.
The Belt team had been shifte'
around as the coach thought that h,
had played some of the men out O.
their natural positions. Boboth, full
back. replaced Servoss at tackle, VIII,
was brought back to half and Rem
ington (captain) made fullback. Tn,
result was better than expected. Bo
both held the man helpless in the line
who had dealt the locals much misery
in the Geraldine game while Servoss
made many a hole in the line for the
backs to go through and streng thence
the interference.
The Belt aggregation took the Of
fensive from the start and held it tc
the finish. At no time were they in
danger of being scored on by their
opponents and were not compelled to
kick for safety.
In the first half the boys exhibited
a good brand of football and demon
strated to the few onlookers what can
be done with straight football, where
as in the later periods their interfer-
ence was ragged and weakened many
plays which otherwise would have
proven more successful. The two
hard-hitting backs, Remington and
Servoss, penetrated the Geraldine line
for consistent gains at will. Spogen
showed up we'll in end runs while
Auren acted the part of general with
a fair degree of success. Had Auren
used an aerial attack more frequently
he might have run up a higher score
but was content to run a series of
straight smashes and crisscrosses
through the line when he could have
saved his backs much hard work.
