Ontnrlo Scores Klrnt.
.Tho first quartor started with a
rush nnd Nampa discovered Im
mediately that It was In a real foot
ball gamo. Ilopoutod attompts on
tho part of tho Junction city bunch
to plorco tho local lino fulled and
McKco mado first down for Kampa
with a 30 yard run around Jack
Weaver's ond. On tho next play
Casoy of Nampa fumbled nnd On
tario rocovored tho ball.
Ontario first tried tho Nampa line
for no gain. An attemptod ond
run of a double pass reunited In
loss of flvo yards.
Mnddon thon was glvon tho ball,
fumblod It bohlnd tho linos, recover
ed and wont forward for sovon yoards
putting tho ballon to Nampa's IE
yard lino from which point on the
noxt play ho oxpeutod a pretty drop
kick Bonding tho oval squaroly bo
twoen tho posts woll above tho bar,
Nampa chose to rocolvo tho kick
for a Bocond tlmo and on securing the
ball In her own torrltory soon work
ed It near tho Ontario goal by repeat
ed ond runs around both Weaver and
V. Dutlor. With tho ball 30 yards
from tho Ontario goal the local team
held and rocovored tho bnll on downs,
only to loso shortly afterwards on a
fumble. Thus tho first quartor end
ed with tho ball In Nampa's posses
sion 20 yards from tho Ontario goal
Tho second porlod oponed with
Nampa dotormlned to score. Short
end runs brot tho ball to Ontnrlo five
yard lino on first down, and hero the
tho first of five brilliantly stubborn
defonse sessions of tho gamo wot
Rhown. Three tries at Ontario's line
showed a gain of four yards but on
the fourth down Overstreet and Dut
lor broko thru the Nampa lino and
nailed Casey for a loss. It was On
tario's ball and Madden soon kicked
out of immedlato danger, Again
nnd again during the second and
third quarters Nampa reached easy
striking distance of tho local goal
line and each time failed to have the
necessary punch to put the ball
across.
When the fourth quarter started
it looked like an Ontario victory for
tho locals again showed some power
on attack and took the ball for two
first downs only to loso It on a
fumble. Nampa thon worked the
ball to Ontario's ten yard line from
which Casey attempted a forward
pass which Madden intercepted and
carried out to tho five yard line. He
then booted the ball 35 yards to the
middle of the field, and McKee carri-
a ed it back thirty yards In one of the
prettiest runs oi me game,
