TARkiO WILL GIVE
ALL OF THEM A
BATTLE.
North Missouri College Has a
Team That Seems to Be
Second to None IN
Missouri.

Special Core spondance Of The Sunday Republic
Tarkio. Mo, Oct. 5-The renaissance in
football seems to have reached TarliO this
fall Last season was disastrous one. and
the determination to make this seasons
team a winning one is uppermost in the
minds Of all.
Several members Of the championship
teams Of 'g7 and '9S are again in school. and
these together with n nucleus Of last year 5
team and some excellent new material. are
u hand. ready for work.
@Cartain Tdrup. one of the veteran
guards, IS again ready for work, after
eighteen months of service I'm the army
amid the swamps of Luzon, and "A comrade
of his nafned Clark, from Red Oak, IA. who
had played several years on High School
teams. also entered school. and is one Of the
acAive candidates for a position at end. 1t
was necessary to develop new center. and
Iaupt. who had been on the team several
seasons. is filling the position very accept
ably. At right guard Lynn and Laur are
the active candidates. The latter is a pres
ent disabled. however. leaving the former
in undisputed possession. At tackles, Bal
mer and Allen. both old men, are hard to
duplicate. Both carry the ball well, and
are good ground gamers. For ends there
are about half a dozen active candidates. In
the recent game with Doane College Clark
and White filed these positions acceptably.
and when called upon TO carry the ball al
ways succeeded in making their distance.
The other contestants for these places, Mar
tin and Glenn. are both good men.
At quarter back Bell handles the team
veil, passes accurately and gets into +! -
Interference In good shape. Graham and
Salmond, while not so heavy, are quick, and
fin case of accident could substitute with
out loss Murche and Lowe are both
pround-GaininG backs, follow their intertcf-
ence reasonably well and if successful in
breaking away are hard to catch. ouncan
is fully as good a back. without quite as
much experience
Manager Nicoll, at fun back, plays fast
game; punts long and low, and hits the
line hard. Rankin makes very creiitaoie
substitute for this latter position.
s. Moore is an all-round substitute ana
plays a heady game. In addition TO tk"s-
/ n mentioned, second eleven, wcil-traiaed,
Aners additional substitutes.
In a recent game with Doane College on
the Tarkio gridron, the visitors Were un-
able to make a single gain against TarkiO's
magnificent defense. Carter Brown Of chi
caEo coached the team for two weeks. ard
instiil-d into il many excellent tactic.
Through lack of sufficient practice the
team as yet plays rather slowly. ana some
fumblinG in the Doane-Tarkio game result
ed i'm the loss OF many yards. but the score
Tarkio 43; DOane, o-HaS very satisfactory
for an opening game.

most. daring bank robberies in the
history Of the state occurred early
Saturday morning at Prairie du Sac,
a small town near Baraboo, Wis. The
Prairie du Sac bank, at that place,

means of dynamite and it's contents.
looted. The robbers secured $3.50 in
silver and about 500 in gold coin, be-
sides several valuable checks. In all
about $1,000 was stolen. While there
is but little trace of the thieves, it de-
veloped that there were three Of them,
and it is further believed that they
left town. by means Of saddle horses,
heading for the north. The explosion
of dynamite was so loud that it woke
several persons who lived near. the
bank, and it was but . short time be-
fore they were awake and realized
what had happened. They did. not
dare to oppose the burglars, who
were, from all appearances desperate
and fully armed. AS soon as the
crowd could get together however a
