THE COMMENT 1930 have gone deep into enemy territory were checked regardless of the team and the final curtain fell on a scoreless tie. November 2. This game was in all probability the most disappoint- ing ofthe season in that the Keokuk team showed less football than at any other time. Holes that were always tight leaked, plays that generally worked failed, and Keokuk journeyed home, smarting under a defeat of 20 to 0-Mt. Pleasant. November 6. Hamilton, our neighboring town across the river, came over with a large following to give battle on the local gridiron, and they did just as they planned to do. Their big fullback got away for a splendid run early in the first quarter, for a touchdown, and the Keokuk lads were never able to rally enough to best them. The game ended with Hamilton on the big end of a 6 to 0 score and all the glory that goes with beating a rival team. November ll. Fort bladison, traditional rival of Keokuk, came down on Armistice Day to repeat the victory of the year before. Keokuk outfought the boys in the first half and at times it looked as though they would score, only to be held by the upriver boys. However, in the second half of the game the heavy mud and water had done its work and Fort Madison, through the brilliant run of its fast halfback, was able to score the lone touchdown of the game. It was a good game even though the Keokuk fans were very much disappointed in seeing Fort Madison walk off with the victory. November 24. Keokuk enbussed for Ottumwa at an early hour and landed in Ottumwa in fine shape. Everything looked good for a real scrap, and that is just what it turned out to be. At the end of the first half Keokuk led by a score of 7 to 6. Every member of the squad had played his best and when they returned to the field they carried a determination to win. However, Ottumwa seemed to come to life and when the final whistle blew the score stood 24 to 0, in favor of Ottumwa. November 28. Thanksgiving Day has always been a day of real scrap for Keokuk and Carthage. This particular day gave more promise than usual because of the fact that several of the boys were to be graduated in the spring and the added stimulus of having had a losing team during the season. From the first whistle until the final there was never a let- down, and may it be said that Keokuk had a wonderful team of stellar players in this, the final game. The season, although marred with defeats and dis- appointments had a certain degree of success connected with its experiences. A realization of what mighit be at- tained and a firmly planted determination to be un- defeated in 1930. Ten letter men will return, most of whom are seniors, with the hope of being undefeated throughout the 1930 season. Ti FIFTY-NiNl-1
