GOPHERS WANT . ANOTHER GAME
The speedy East Chicago Gophers climbed one notch nearer to the cham
pionship goal Sunday afternoon when
they easily defeated their lighter op
ponents, the Indiana Harbor Ironsides
and ran up an overwhelming score of
101 to 0. At no time was the Gophers
goal line in danger of being crossed and the huge .score is probably the largest that has ever been made In a football game in the history of Lake
county. Keenan and O'Brien were the Gophers' chief scorers and did some brilliant work for the East Chicago-
uns. Keenan took the pigskin over the goal line for 37 points, while O'Brien scored 24 points. Piper, Karlin, Thomas and Leavman also deserve
special mention as their playing was of stellar variety. The game was simply a walkaway for the Gopher warriors, who took the ball down the field for ' large gains. Several touchdowns were of the sensational variety, the Gopher warriors breaking away from the mass of players for a touchdown. The one-sided struggle was witnessed by nearly 500 fans and was the Gophers fourth consecutive victory this I season. The Gophers feel keenly the
loss of "Red" Nicholson, star guard, who was called to hla home' In the southern part of Indiana on account of the illness of his mother. The Gophers would like to arrange games with any team averaging 120 pounds. Phone William O'Brien, S27-W. Eut Chicago. ,. -'
