BENSON WESTLAKE, ’14, Department Editor. Foot Ball Season-1912 The first game of the season resulted in a victory for Jackson, when we met Kings, ton on the local field, on September 28. The teams were evenly matched and every man on his respective side battled shoulder to shoulder; but with a little encouragement, our boys soon awoke to the condition of affairs and waded in with more confidence. Before the game had progressed far, one of our fellows carried the ball over for a touch-down, but we failed to kick goal. We were progressing very well and affairs were moving along smoothly but we were suddenly surprised when Kingston also pushed the pigskin across the line for a touch down. They too, failed to kick goal. From now on it was anyone’s game until in the last few miuutes of play Jackson succeeded in scoring and kicking goal; thus the contest ended with a final score of 13-6 in our favor. On Oct. 12, we journeyed to I ronton, where we played the second game of the season with the team of that place. Prior to this game the local field had been in poor condition for practice, hence the team was not in the best trim; again the team was handicapped in that all the regular players were not present. The Irontonians workout before the game showed that they were in the pink of condition, notwithstanding all this our fellows trotted out upon the field with that spirit of victory, that feeling which is always present in their camp. However they were forced to acknowledge their handicap when the game ended with a score of 0-19 in favor of the Irontonians. The big score with which Ironton won would seem to indicate that the game was one sided and uninteresting but on the contrary it was not; at no stage of the game did the enthusiasm displayed by the fans lapse, for our boys were the aggressors nearly as often as their op. ponents, and though they failed to score they bored in with a nonceasing fire. We next played the return game with Kingston on their grounds, Oct. 19th. The team went over on the 18th, and on the following morning the boys awoke fresh and near the field of battle upon which they were going to fight that A. M. Kingston had trained hard for the game because they wished very much to win this game so that they would break even with us for we had one game on them. It could be seen that they were confident of winning, still they knew that they would have to fight hard for it; Jackson was no less confident, if any difference existed our boys were a bit too sure of the decision. They relied too much upon their previous victory. However, a few of them lost some of this conceit when during the last few minutes before the game was called, Goth, Kingston’s big man, stepped into line, but our terror soon left when he proved to be a novice at the game or at any rate he did nothing out of the ordinary. The game was an even contest through the first half; at one moment we were on the aggressive, the next we were
