Hard game ahead for local eleven

Washington faces a tough test next Saturday when Burlington visits for the third game. Burlington, with its strong backs, beat Washington by two touchdowns last fall and opened this season with a 13 to 7 win at Monmouth. Washington beat Wapello 13 to 0 as Daniels and Putnam scored, Lemley kicking one extra point. The locals showed improved play but need a stronger defense against forward passes before the Burlington match.
