INDIANS WIN
FROM DOUGLAS

IN the hardest fought game of the
season, Douglas was defeated by
Stewart rs %. 1t was the last game
for several of the Douglas men and
they gave their best for dear old
Douglas. The team played a wonder
full game and deserve a great deal
of credit. Their defense was impen-
etrable and their offense was power
| full. Stewards points were made by
forward passes and fumbles On
straight football they gained little.
They won on the breaks of the game
rather than on their own ability
The Douglas gridders fought them to
a standstill Douglas gained much
ground of line bucks and end wins as
well as fake plays. So
Stewart kicked of to Douglas.
Douglas was unable 20 make her
yardage and punted. Stewart was
likewise unable to make her yardage
The teams see-sawed back and forth
on the gridiron for the rest of the
quarter. Tie first quarter ended
with the score 90.
The scond quarter began with the
balloon Douglas twensy yard line
Stewart made a touchdown on q
forward PISS but failed to convert.
She made another touchdown on a
delayed pass and converted. The
half ended with the ball ir Stewards
possession on the Douglas two inch
line. Score: Stewart 13, Douglas O.

Of the second half. The following
quarter was filled with the type of
football that gladdens the spectators
hearts. The team fought hard with
Douglas having a slight advantage.
Neither team was able to score al
though some large gains were made.
Douglas was out to win. The quar-
ter ended with the score Stewart,
13, Douglas, o.
The fourth quarter shattered the
hope of Douglas Fumbles brought
line in Stewards possession. Then
displaying magnificent defensive foot
ball, the Douglas gridders held the
Indians for three downs and the ball
was in possession of Douglas. Doug
las attempted to punt but the quar-
terback fumbled and got the ball off
slowly. A Stewart man fell on it
and a touchdown was chalked up for
the Siwashes. Stewart failed to con-
vert. Score, Stewart 10, Douglas 0.
With six minutes to go, Douglas
made a determined effort to avenge
herself. A brilliant aerial attack
netted much yardage. Then a pass
was intercepted and the Stewart
player ran through a scattered field
to a touchdown. Stewart then con-
verted. They then continued, Stew
art kicking off. Douglas still fought
with logged determination, and the
Indians could not score again. The
game ended with the ball in Stewart's
possession on the Douglas 35-yIrd
line. Score: Stewart 26, Douglas 6.
1t was a clean fought game from
start to finish The team was en-.
Enthusiastically supported by the r..or-
ers on the side lines. Douglas prov
ed that she had the fight and next
year she is going to win. And anoth-
er thing, although Douglas lost her
games. she has been the eleanest and
most sportsmanlike team in the
state. This is proven by those who
saw the team play. Douglas never
played dirty, never used profanity
and always followed the right and
just course. This was not true of
many of the other teams that did
play against Douglas. We can be
prouder of our team. for this reason,
than if they had won a champion
ship. The Douglas-Stewart game
was the last one of the season.
