played In his position. lllack. Smith
and Watson were all good ground
retters. Time and again these back-
fieldera plowed through for yardage
and only desperate efforts on the
part of the Cottage Grove playera
saved further scoring. Rlehel did
most of the kicking for the Elka and
time and again punted for forty and
fifty yards down the field. On sever
al occasions he was forced to boot
the ball from behind his own goal
posts, but each time he succeeded In
getting the pigskin hack to the mid
dle of the field.
Viifler the direction or Glenn Smith
Itoseburg In the' Inst half played a
strictly idefenslim game. Cottage
Grove would work the hall down to
about the twenty yard line by a ser
ies or plunges and end runs, and
then tile Kosuhurg line would hold
them steady for downs and break
up their attempted passes., i';
Itoseburg would then take the ball
and Rlehel wuuld punt It back Into
the muddy end of the field where
Cottage Grove would again start their
tirenglh-sapplng, disheartening
march down" the field, only to be
hnlted by Koseburg's Immovable lino
whenever danger threatened. Time
and again Itoseburg repented this
performance content to rest upon the
lead already giviied and playing
strictly defensive, until the exhausted
disheartened opponents heard the fi
nal whistle blow with the score ttill
standing In favor of the Itoseburg
team.
In spile of the fart that the rain
fell In torrents and spectators were
forced to wade thru mud and water
to witness the struggle, there was a
fairly good crowd. Itoseburg was
particularly well represented and al
most half of the fans were from this
city.
of mud and both teams were forced
to play the old style, line-bucking,
bone-breaking Btyle of football. Open
playing was Impossible, and 111 spite
of the fact that both teams are strong
on passing, very little could be done
along that line.
The ball was slippery and hard to
handle and both teama took good
rare to hang on to the pigskin, and
took few chances in trying to throw
the elusive ball.
The came opened with Cottage
Grove kicking off. The teams met
In aboui the center of the field, and
the first quarter was a pretty strug
gle. In the last of (he first quarter
Roseburg obtained a good advan
tage. After a aeries of line plunges
and line blocks In which the Klka
had advanced the ball to about the
40 yard Hue, two forwaid passes
were completed.
The first netted about ten yard
and the sennd added about fifteen
yards. The latter pass was one of
the real sensations or the game.
Okey Taggert, Roseburg end, waa on
the receiving end and with a head
long dive, which put his nose In
the mud snd his reel in the nlr. ho
hooked the riylng ball out or the
titer. Just before it splashed Into the
mud and water of the wet field.
The Itoseburg backs continued the
drive and the first quarter ended
with the hall on Cottage Grove's
three-yard line. In the opening of
the second qusrter. Glenn Smith car
ried the ball over for the only touch
down of the game. An attempt to
ronvert the goal by a place kick fail
ed and the score stood to 0.
The game settled back to a
straight old-slyle football fight, with
Itoseburg strictly on the defensive.
The Cottage Grove guardsmen

lead and time and again forced the
