played. and = prettier or more stub
hornly contested match. it would
have been impossible to see. Mon
mouth came here with her laurels
unta-nished by a single defeat. while
Augustana. though not as exper-
pericnccd. went into the game with
the same bright record. although. of

games. The men seemed full Of
ginger. and from the start the game
was one not often seen in the foot
ball line. as the closenc>s Of the score
shows.
The struggle step ny step.
The.first half begun with Mon
mouth starting the ball. The strug-
gle was very exciting. Monmouth

forced back by their antagonists, and

Monmouth boys worked their way to
the vicinity of her goal. and then
Miller. Monmouth's golden-haired
right half and captain. got the ball
and made very pretty run. and Sc
cured touchdown counting four.
McGaughey failed to kick goal. and
| position being taken. the men
started anew. Augustana had the
ball, and by strong and scientific
work the vicinity Of her goal was
reached. when Cedarquist. Angus
tana's right half. secured the ball.
and, like a comet from the heavens.
he started for the goal, and secured
| n touchdown for his team amid the

hog skin under his arm and fairly
flew for Augustana's goal. He Sc
cured a touchdown. and Cedarquis
made the second kick for goal. Thi
added six to Augustanas score. max

II was Monmouth's ball when tn,
men again took positions. and form

pleasure of meeting. but unfOrtun

after a short time the Plucky fellow
got on his feet. and after walkin!
around for short time. he resumed
his place, amid the loud cheering q
the audience. After some very sharl
struggling McGaughey. Monmouth
