McCauley attempted a drop kick. The whistle blew just as Callaham was passing the ball, and although Wampie put the ball squarely between the uprights, the game was over and the score did not count. H. P. C.. 19-SIMPSON, 0 Highland Park closed its 1915 football season with a 19 to 0 victory over Simpson. A strong wind t'rom the north made it disagreeable both for players and spectators, and kept the attendance lower than al' any game this year. The game was Highland Park's clear through, Simpson furnishing but poor opposition to the Purple and White team, and l-lighland's goal line was not once in danger. Simpson was unable to advance the ball either through the line or around the ends, the heavy Highland linesmen breaking through and smothering the majority of Simpson's plays before they had fairly started. Simpson was es- pecially poor in the kicking end of the game. McCauley outdistanced White, even when the latter had the wind in his favor. Highland Park kicked into the wind, and the ball was downed on Simpson's forty-yard line. Here they were held for downs, and l'orced to kick. By several long gains and exchange of punts, Highland put the ball on Simpson's ten-yard line. Simpson punted, but the punt was blocked by Sett, who also recovered the ball behind the goal line, for the lirst touchdown, the goal l'ailing. In the second quarter, a long punt with the wind put the ball close to Simp- son's line, from where they were forced to kick. The punt went but a short distance in the face of the wind, and Highland took the ball on the thirty-yard line, l'rom where they carried it over on line plunges. McCauley made the touch- down, but t'ailed to kick goal. A fumbled punt near the end of the period gave Simpson their only chance to score, but a drop kick l'rom the twenty-yard line ai ec . ln the third quarter at twenty-yard run by Steadman, followed by a forward pass for another twenty yards to Hardy, put the ball on the two-yard line, from where Ferrell carried it over on a line plunge. The remainder of the quarter was played without decided advantage to either side, and ended with the ball in the center of the lield. Simpson fought hard in the last period, but were never close to a touch- fl0WlL illthough they prevented l'urther scoring by Highland Park. They held Hltllllllllfl for downs on their ten-yard lille near the close of the game, and kicked to the middle of the lield as the game ended. i-Q I . .-I .1 -1?2i.:,iJ?Ki-gagg--:g1.-1
