I of th rival schools. Those who attends the affair will agree that; it wa more of a splash than a clash, bu whatever it was the BbaTcat gain ed its! fifth, victory ii* the eleven game series, in which the; Mustang have won six. f \ IThe Riverside park gridiron ’ wa probably the most muddy, slipper] and water-soaked; plot of ground ii the vicinity of Iola and the gahu was far from what it might bavlt; been.« | ♦ ^ 1 •Three.

They came within i yard of scoring a touchdown in thlt; second quarter, but had to be sat-isfed with: the two points they received on the safety. !Al! Chanute regulars were in' foi the second half,! buti with the exception of Jones and Trembly the: were little improvement over; thi shock troops. jThere were no stars in the *Mus Upig lineup but all fought gameh until the final whistle. Davis, a half, handled a large share of thlt; ball carrying, besides doing 'tht kicking and playing safety for thi locals. Ti * .No Ifkrdage Figuresit 1 .No accurate yardage statistic: could be obtained due. to the condition of the. field. Chanute madlt; five first downs and Iola three:Fumbles were numerous but non*proved costly. Although bot^i team: were forced to kick bn every serie: of downs, the punting also had lit tie effect on the outcome j of thlt; game. Not one pass was attemptec by either side.*- The best team won, but the losers were affected more; by the existing conditions, than were the victors. The forward pass, the Mustangs’ strongest offensive weapon could not be employed at all. « All things considered; a fairly large crowd watched the ’ contest, the last) of the season here.The lineups:Chanute (23) * Iola (0).FairweattyerLitwinTaylor .SutherlandChristy Holland Luckey : H.
