CATION of saiarIed stars There was no
disgrace in the defeat, not by any
means, and the home boys covered
themselves with glory. NOT one Of the
400 spectators left the Island ball park
with anything but praise for the stub
born defense W. A. c. put Up. The To-
Gals fought hasd for every inch OF ter
ritory, and The score rs to 0 represents
the best Greensburg could do In % and
20 minute halves.
The weather was perfect for football.

comfortable for the spectators. The
opposing teams liued up as given In
Saturdays EntellIgencer. with the e&-
ception that SiHmRn played fniibaek
for Greensburg Two touch-doWns were
made in each half. Donohue failing oil

points. Mathis fell on the ball behind
Wheeling's line, making safety and

safety aggregated 20 credited TO the
stars.
The game was replete with brilliant
plays. It was gall and NORWOOD to
Wheeling people TO see big Rinehart
wade through ". A. C.'s line, or see the
Indian, Jimason, leap over the line, and
by rolling and wrlggllng across the
ground add several more yards. Bar
Clay's runs were another feature. The
clever Greensbug coach plays desper-
ate game, on the ''DoggF" Trenchard
daring style, and one wonders every
minute II he isn't going to break his
reck. Like Jimason, he Is a leaper,
and he was almost put out OF the busl-
ness once when Curtis tackled him,
throwing him several feet in the air.
That tackle stopped Barclay from
certain touchdown.
The leaping style OF play must be
lught at GreensburR-the town where
1 e preachers have drawn up an elev-
enth commandment, Thou shalt tackle
How," and where lovers talk to each
other not of the ethereal. but OF the
longed-for defeat OF their bitter rivals

than his wheeling admirers supposed.
He made two OF the touch-downs, and
shared the honors with Rinehart. He IS
the best ground-gainer at tackle, In the
country. The team is all stars but the
GIltterlng quartet In made UP OF Rine-
hart. Barclay, Mcfarland and Jimason.
Rinehart scored first, Curtis,
who for the rest of the game tackled Ike

among the three Edwards boys. Curtis.

Wheeling made a desperate stand
