Chanute madi five first downs and Iola . three Fumbles were numerous but nom “proved costly. Although both team were forced to kick bn every serie of downs, the punting also had lit tie effect on the outcome j of tin game. Not one pass was attemptedby.either side.;_ The best team won, but the losers were affected more; by the existing conditions, than were the victors.
