If Denlson failed to come out lihead
on the score, the Gate City Athletic
Association very apparently came out
ahead In gate, receipts. Probably 2,000
people or more saw the game, includ-
ing between 000 and 700 from SWer-
inan. Both sideline^ were packed with
a dense mass of hutiianlty for the en-
tire length of the field with the red
stid white standards of Sherman
showing on one side and the black and
gold of Denlson on the opposite. Fn-
der able cheer leaders, these sides
were pitted against each other iu giv-
ing vociferous' support to their respecji'"
live teams. f
Spertanilar Game. f
\ It was a spectacular game from
start to finish and concluded with .the
most spectacular play of the game.
Lynn Dickinson, as usual, furnished
the su|M'r-scnsatlon. It was a 70-yard
run through the entire Denlson eleven
for Sherman's last touchdown. Hardly
ii tnaiii on, the Gate City team failed
to touch the fleeing Sherman runner,
but turning and twisting, stiff arming,
and side,stepping none could bold the
local lad. Almost the moment goal
was failed after the touchdown, the
ga'fne was called.
Sherman scored first touchdown
within three iniuptcs after play was
started. The local boys took the ball
straight down the field without losing
a down, alter receiving Jamison's
punt. Sherman had originally kicked
off to Denlson, and Denlson had
punted when unable to gain. Two other
touchdowns were made In the first
iftiarler. It was a simple story. Denl-
son was unable to gain, and would
punt. For the last touchdown. the
Shcttnan line rushed through and
lib* ki d !*cnison'n punt on her own fif-
teen yard line.
Sherman b <t flr-*t down for the first
time in (h sccoml (puirfT, after suf-
fering a five vard penalty. Denlson
failed to giiln, however, and punted,
laud Sherman again marched down
I field for touchdown.
Missed Golden Opportunity.
Denlson missed a golden opportun-
ity to score aghlnst her op|sMH'Uts, ill*
tlie third quarter when she fecovered
In r own punt on Sherman's f fifteen
yard line. Tbe ball was advanced seven
yards, and a drop kick was tried. It
failed, in the same quarter. Deirtnon
made' first down several times by suc-
cessful me of the forward pass, which
Sherman failed t< break up.
