Bearcats Again
Get The Worst
Of Grid Battle
Although playing splendid defen-
sive and holding their opponents from
out the hard fought bottle, the Bear-
cats again went down in defeat before
Daniel Raker seconds on the home
field last Friday afternoon. The only
score of the game was made by a
“Bearcat”, but he was lof the team of
1923—Gayle Toland—who is one' of
• the stYongest on the Daniel Baker
T«Kih. u •
The play that brought the sensa-
tion, and in fact the only count in the
entire game was when Toland, in | J
midfield, recovered one of the costly •
fumbles made by th# locals anti ran J
to within a yard of the D. B. C. goal •
line when a lad named Joo Stalcup *
plunged over for s touchdown. The •
punter failed of a goal and the score. ; p
was 6 to 0. •_ r* ’ •
Tn this game Fred Howe showed up e
, some real qualities of a football plav- *
er. Howe Will develop into tha-^ort of •
player that can take hard knocks and «
7 stay in the game. -He receives a paste J.
well, and isu«Vl>ad at petting through
the oppefient’s line. Butler is “right
Jhefe*’ on catching a pass and is a
good side-stepper. Whaley Smith,
Bender ahd Howard— in fact all the
boys played hard; consistant football,
_ and such’ efforT will 44rn them win- —-
