MOROCCO VS. KANKAKEE.

Outweighed probably fifteen pounds to the man and playing be- . fore a hostile crowd that had wag-, ered heavily against them, Morocco’s independent football team swept the famous 00. L. team of Kankakee off their feet Sunday at the latter -place and -left them thankful they were not beaten. The score was 7 to 7. Morocco made it plain in the first quarter that she was out to win and her light line held time after time for downs. Ability of the front line to side-step interference and swing onto the man with the ball, kept Kankakee from gaming through the line and when they opened up with forward passes, Capt. - Purkey pulled ope down and ran 50 yards for Morocco’s touchdown. , Somebody kicked goal. The game then turned, to a kick and pass content with everything breaking Morocco’s way until Kankakee intercepted a pass and was downed in the shadow! of their own goal. Morocco held for three downs when the whistle blew for the end 6f the third period. Kankakee came back strong and scored a touchdown. A goal kick tied the score and the fourth Quarter was a battle royal in which ? neither team could break the tie. ; Either of these teams would make ' a good 'drawing card for the Rens- ; selaer Independents.
