| Our High school foot ball team met a
| Waterloo on Saturday at the hands of
! strong team composed of Mt Carmel and
| Shamokin players. The game was played
| at the former place. The score was g
to T. The game was an interesting and
hard fought one, but from the start it
was evident the Mt. Carmels had the
stronger team. The rush line was the
weak part of our team and the constant
breaks that the Mt Carmel men made in
it were such that those behind the line
were unable to make much headway when
running with the ball. Behind the line
our team was very strong, as such players
as McGraw, Cuff, Rhodes, and B. Fortner
would naturally make it. These are the
men who are to be thanked for keeping
the score as tight as it was, for their
brilliant plays and tackles made it So
Mt. Carmel made the first touchdown
after 25 minutes of hard fighting Then
Centralia got the ball and had but >
minutes of the first half left to play. 1t
looked as if our boys would not score in
this half but they made a noble effort
and, thanks to one of Charlie MCGraw's s.
cute tricks, they succeeded in making a
touchdown. This is the trick Ceutralia
made a fying wedge and when Mt
| W
around their left end with arms folded, as
if ne had the ball this drew Mt. Carmel
to that end, at which Cuff skipped around
their right end and straight down the
, field, making the first and only touch
, down we succeeded in getting. 1t was
certainly brilliant run and our boys
were so overioyed that they put the little
half-back on their shoulders and carried
him all around the field. In the second
half Mt. Carmel made two on a safety,
making the score as before stated.
McGraw's playing was a feature of the
game and such kicking as he did was
never seen in Mt. Carmel before. His
tackling was also splendid. Rhodes can
q not receive too much praise for his good
: work, He is certainly good runner and
splendid tackler, as some of the Mt.
Carmel men he caught will admit. Cuff
is also good runner and tackler Jones
. played right end and no Mt. Carmel man
could pass that point without kissing the
earth. --,--.-..--- .a,,r
The man who tried to referee the game
is mistaken if he thinks he knows any
d thing about foot ball. Another claim our
d boys have is the lack of protection al
/ forded them. Whenever a discussion
arose gang of Mt. Carmel toughs
crowded upon the field and interfered
Our team did not undertake to play the
Z whole town, and whenever Mt. Carmel
a players come here they are treated prop
3 erly. A returned game is talked of, but
y | if it is played Shenandoah or Ashland
y will be the scene of battle. Mt. Carmel
) will not play here and our team does moi
