This made fast footwork a very tedious business, but even under these adverse conditions the eel-like Eulas Reeves and his team-mate "Timmy" Mitchell veritably flew over the swampy regions in a number of mad dashes toward the Jacksonville goal. When this duo wasn't in action, Hankins and Fowler made life more miserable than -what it was for the Mutes with relentless plunges through the line.

The curly headed Henderson broke through repeatedly to throw the Tuscola backs for a loss, while Chapman, Peters and Captain Parton were not far behind. Henderson was easily the outstanding player of the day. although Peter saved the day when he nailed Taylor after a 45-yard run with no one behind him and the goal.

Captain Parton ran the team in fine style in his last grid game at Roosevelt. Buckmaster played his usual strong game in the line, along with Stokes and Harrison, on the flank positions For the visitors, Roy, Klinko and Carpenter were the backfield stars, while Dodson proved their strongest defensive man, along with Hackett.

Gallivan made seven yards through left tackle, fumbled, but Wilson of Illinois, recovered With the ball on the one-yard line, Leonard smashed center for atouch-down. Gallivan failed at the try for extra point by the place kick route.

The final score was 23 to 2 for Arthur. Coach Falkenberg started the Arthur seconds, but the heavy Hindsboro team proved too powerful for them, and after about 10 minutes' play, they were withdrawn and the regulars sent in. The safety was scored on the Arthur regulars. In the last half the Arthur back-field got into action and ran up 23 points. Corbett scored the first touchdown, while Reeder made the other.

Reeder kicked goal after both touchdowns. Reeder then demonstrated his versatility by kicking three place kicks, adding nine points by this method. Hindsboro put up a stiff fight and sfibwed a valuable man In Hemmlng-way. "Red" Robinson saved a possible Hindsboro touchdown when he tackled a Hindsboro man who had recovered Corbett's fumble and ran J. yards.

It was Arthur's second game in four days. The summary: Stewart, replacing Leonard, thrilled the crowd by a long run after quick cut-back. On the next play, he tore! oft 10 more yards for a touchdown.

For the remainder of the game they were forced to be content with punting on about every second down. The Decatur line first team, second team, and reserves held with equal strength, and gains of prominence were very few. After Guzzardo's long run. the I. S.

D. bunch lost yardage on their first two attempts. On the third a pass was incomplete, and then a drop kick by Knapp from his 40 yard line fell far short of its mark. This was the only try for a score that they made, and the only time that they went as far as the fourth down. Not a down was made against the Red, the ball during the greater part of the game remaining in Decatur's possession.

Reeves Stars Again 'Kulie" Reeves was again the outstanding performer of the mud battle. He was in a large part responsible for Decatur's first, while he tallied the third himself on a brilliant 35 yard side step through the greater part of the opposing forces. He w-as always good for five yards, and might be called the Reds' "Five Yard" MeCarty. The Red and White's first touchdown came in the opening moments of the second period. Reeves' 25 yard dash alon.tr with the efforts of Hankins and Fowler had put the ball on the visitors' 11 yard line.

Harrold and Reeves took it within two feet of the goal. Then Kowler plunged over. Harrold place kicked for the only point after touchdown during the game. A second touchdown followed but a little later. Mitchell, who had replaced Hankins.

and Reeves had brought the oval to Jacksonville's 14 yard line. Reeves writhed and squirmed to the four yard line, and was then taken out for Verner who played his first game since the contest. Harrold went over for another score. Another good chance was lost in the same quarter, when with the ball on the Mutes 14 yard line Verner tumbled for an IS yard loss and the Orange and Black recovered and punted out of danger. The third score resulted after the kickoff in the third period.

Moffett carried the pigskin 20 yards. Reeves, decorated with the slimy muddy substance like the rest of the laboring groups, skipped 35 yards 'for his ART HIT'. HINDSBORO Greathouse rt. McHapp tk. Howard c.
