Rangers Prove Too Speedy For St. Joe and Win 13-0.

The North A. C., of Chicago, playing in whirlwind fashion, proved too strong for Parker’s pets, and downed them in a pretty battle on the college gridiron Sunday 13 to 0. The Rangers came here with a record of not having their goal line crossed this year, and of not having been defeated in the last three years. The visitors’ line proveed impenetrable and the St. Joe backfield was unable to negotiate any gains of any considerable distance. Red Ryan at quarterback was also a great asset for the visitors and proved to be a most efficient field general. But not all the honors went to the visitors even though they did get the long end of the score for they were forced to go at top speed all the way, before the stubborn opposition of St. Joe. Weldman for St. Joe was easily the star for his team and his great defensive work saved his team and their supporters from a great deal of anxiety, when he broke through and nailed the runner for a loss time after tinme. He also intercepted several forward passes. The individual honors for the day, however, must be given to McDermott, of the North Shore, playing at left half. He was a consistent ground gainer, and a great man on defense, while the accuracy of his forward passing could not be improved.

The visitors scored their first touchdown in the opening quarter. McDermott kicked goal, making the count 7-0. The ball remained in midfield for the rest of the quarter. The second quarter found both teams fghting Jiard but at the end of the half the score remained 7-0. The second half opened with St. Joe kicking. The North Shores, after puncturing the line at will for a time, were finally held for downs. The end of the quarter found the teams in midfield. St. Joe was forced gradually back into the shadow of their own goal posts in the fourth quarter and were forced to kick. Danford for the visitors broke through the line and blocked the kick and the ball rolled behind thfe St. Joe goal Inie, where Danford fell on it only to fumble when Bruin fcckled him. Dieckman finally dropped on the oval for the visitors. McDermott missed goal.

North Shores 13, St. Joe 0. The Chicagoans were well on their way to another touchdown when the whistle blew. At the time the ball was was on the St.~Joe 18 yard line. A great number of out of town visitors witnessed the game.
