OF Battery or squad of the Rough Riders
to successfully take part in the ''side issues"

at West Grove. From tho beginning OF the
game to the end, the playing of their right
end and left tackle was crime against the
game of foot ball. This with the decisions of
the referee and the actions OF the mob-that
witnessed the play-made the game no longer
endurable. With the exception of right end
and left tackle, West Grove played clean ball
The tackling it is true was high and rough.
