4? I mia: I Mqgqg g get football llfiynderse at Starkey Starkey started her football season by playing llffynderse Academy, of Seneca Falls. The game was played in the terrific heat of October first. In the first quarter, Starkey succeeded in making a touchdown just as the whistle blew. The second quarter went to the opponents for a touchdown. This made the score at the beginning of the second half, six to six, and anyone's game. The opposing team proved to be the stronger in line plays, and crashed through for another touchdown The last quarter found Starkey still fighting to make the seven points needed to win her victory. The game was played in Starkey's usual sportsman-like manner and on her own field. The score was twelve to six in favor of Seneca Falls. Cook at Starkey The following Saturday, Starkey was favored with perfect football weather. The game scheduled with Cook Academy was thought, by most of the people and students, to be a foolhardy undertaking. Even as the twenty-eight men from Cook filled the dressing room, the fourteen Starkey men only remarked on the gigantic size of these Cas they expressed itj l3ozos. The game started and Starkey rushed the line and ran end runs to Cook's four-yard line. Starkey's second down and four to go, when a fumble was covered by one of Cook's players who ran ninety- six yards for a touchdown. The point was also made. This was supposed by all the spectators to be the downfall of Starkey. The team quickly rose in spirit, however, and instead of lying down, they fought all the harder. By the splendid judgment of Capt. Boyce who quarter-backed, and by Starkey's exceptionally hard tackling, she managed in the remaining three quHI'tCl'S to raise the score to 13-6 in her favor. Painted Post On Saturday, October 15, Starkey played at Painted Post. The Post beat Starkey 20-O on the Post field last year, and tied 0-O on our own Held. So the game was looked forward to with kecnest interest by the students of the Seminary. In the first quarter, Robinson received the ball from center and plunged through right side for a touchdown. Then Starkey lined up and Sammy again plunged through the line for the point. The second quarter was hard fought, but nothing was accomplished in the raising of a score. In the third quarter Chuck Corwith intercepted one of Painted Post's passes and ran for a touchdown. Red Davis received Radley's pass and scored the point. In the last quarter, the Post mustered up strength and pounded Starkey's light line for a touchdown, but one kick for the point was blocked which left the score 13-14 in Starkey's favor. .Shortsville On Saturday of October 22, while the sun shown brightly, the Starkey field was put in order for the coming onslaught, which was to occur in the afternoon between Fifty-nine
