Tiny Hewitt, as an example, never

Hewitt saw comparatively little ac-

leader and hero of the victory over

In those three years, however, Light

NORTHERNS, MISSING KICK,
BEATEN BY APACHES, TO

Apaches still are the sandlot foot
ball champions of Washington. North
ems threw a big scare into the camp
of the Little Indians yesterday. but
the plucky 14O-pound champions final
~ were repulsed, to 6.
1t was a stirring battle, with neither
eleven being able to score in the first
period Apaches, with reinforcements
on the job, launched a drive at the
start of the second half which ended
in Snail going over for touchdown.
Joe Sweeney's drop-kick for the extra
point was true.
Northerns' touchdown came in the
final period. Joe Sweeney was upset
so vigorously by Paul Worksman as
he was attempting to get off a pass
that the ball slipped from his hands.
Like flash, Ben Minnick seized it and
dashed 40 yards for the score. Min
nick, however. failed to place-kick for
the extra point which would have
given Northerns tie.
Northerns put up desperate battle
all the way. Throughout the first
half play was almost entirely In the
champions territory and the Little In
dians were unable to register a single
first down. In the final period, how
ever, the slight weight advantage of
the Apaches and fresh players forced
