The Target 'too, showed the peak of their form in this game. It was a battle royal and a thrill from whistle to whistle. It was witnessed by the largest crowd of spectators that attended a high school game through- out the whole season. On account of our inexperience, Fairheld tricked us out of it and got two touchdowns on flukes, pure and simple. The line played their best game against Fairfield. Keith showed up exceptionally well at end. Payne and Lee did excellent work as guards. Ford did his usual accurate passing and exceptional good' work on defense. The Keokuk game was played in the midst of the season's slump. lt was a peculiar one at that. The first half was decidedly Mt. Pleas- ant's. VVe had our chance to score late in the second quarterg but like that in the New London game, we squandered it. The second half be- longed to Keokuk by about the same margin as the hrst belonged to us. The only diliference-they put the pig skin over the line with hfteen sec- onds' to spare. The most disagreeable game was played at Ottumwa. The day was cold, and the held was muddy. We held our own nicely during the hrst ,quarter and it looked as though the game was to be a close one. But as the game grew, old Ottumwa picked up pep and Mt. Pleasant lost all of theirs. This game ended badly for us, but we evened it all up in basket ball. The last game of the season with VVintield was forfeited to us by them. They refused to come and play us on account of the weather. l Considering all things we think the high school did very well tak- ing the season as a whole. VVe lost games, true, but the team was young in experience, and besides, every school played, except one, was a larger school than we are. Above all this, every one had an experienced team. .X , F . - X iii 1 ll! ii, 2-5 i ll? .nl ig. ,, f a aa -3275 0' u
