day in one o( the hardest (ought and
most hotly contested tames of foot-
ball ever seea on the home grounds.
Enterprise won the toss and re
ceived the kick-off, defending the
south goal. Lockwood ran the ball
back ten yards, and on the (irst down
Conaway and Face promptly worked
the forward pass (or (Kty yards.
Forsythe was sent around the end
(or fifteen yards, but an Enterprise
Player was off side and the home
team suffered a penalty o( (Kteen .
yarus. Lockwood made 7 yards
around end and Bilyeu was Rpnt
through tackle (or ten yards be(ore
ne was downed by the entire Jo
seph back field. The next play
failed to gain yardage and Pace
dropped back (or a punt which was
cleverly blocked by Martin. This
gave Joseph! the ball. Two line plays
were unsuccessful and Berland punt
ed twenty yards to Bauer. Anoth
er forward pass from Conawav to
Fleener netted Enterprise twenty-(lve
yards and a(ter two unsuccessful
line bucks Pace tried a drop-kick
but tailed. Joseph took the ball on
their 25 yard line and on ;ome
fierce line plunging by Martin and
Beriand, together with a (orward
pass, worked the ball to Uie center
o( the Held, where the first hal( end
ed with no score. In the second
half Pace kicked o(( (or Enterprise
lioner returning the kick 15 yards;
Joseph worked the ball to their
own 60 ya.nl line where they were
forced to punt, and on the play were
penalized 25 yards (or holding. Here
McCully punted to, the center of the
field, uieener ran the ball in ten
yaTda7the (orward pass netted 20
more; Will Bauer was sent through
right guard (or (our yards; Lockwood
made two more through led tackle
and here Pace was again sent back
(or a drop kick. Every man in the
line held like a stone wall. Crumoack
er made a beautiful pass and Pace's
trusty right root booted the pigskin
squarely between the goal posts' for
the only score of the game. A(ter
this Enterprise took no chances and
usually punted on the (irst down.
keeping the ball In Joseph territory
all the re3t o( the game. Near the
end of the game Joseph worked a
very neat (ake play when Martin
was sent into the line with a head
gear under his arm. which looked
so much like the ball) that; all the men
in the Enterprise, line were upon him
be(ore they discovered that Mc-
Cully was circling their right end
with the ball. Eaj Weaver was the
first man to et wise to the Dlay
and he showed the big crowd that be
could sprint some himself, by run
ning down the Joseph quarterback.
The game ended with the ball near
the center ot the field-
The Enterprise team was weakened
by the loss o( Burnaugh and Homan
Doth being kept out of the gams
by Injuries. This made It necessary
to take Pace out o( backfield and put
him at guard. Putman took Bur-
naugb's place at center and made
a good showing. Punting honors
were about even between Fleener of
Enterprise and McCully o( Joseph
The Enterprise line played good ball
while Bauer at (ull and Lockwood
and Forsythe at halves proved s
tower of strength, both In advancing
the ball and on defense. Conaway
thowlng of forward passes excelled
anything seen In that department of
the game,'
For Joseph, Martin, Berland and
McCully played the best ball, al
though; the (irst , named seemed to
think the game was too tame aud
had' a chip on his shoulder ell during
the game.
Or. Irwin of Joseph, and Sheets of
Enterprise, were the officials and
gave" entire satisfaction to both
sides.
The two teams were evenly match
ed In weight, Joseph making up In
the: 'backfield what they lacked In tbs
line.
