Football At Brown City.

"Tne Yale high school football
team visited Brown City last Saturday
for the purpose of playing with or
defeating the high school team here.
The game was just nicely commenced
when the Yale team disagreed with
the judges ia "A decision and as arbitra-
ton was out of the question, the cap
tain ordered the team from the field.
The game was discontinued. After
the Yale boys ate n hearty supper at
Hotel Harrington at the expense Of
the home team they returned home"
The above Is published in this weeks
issue of the Brown City Banner. In
answer The Expositor wishes To say
for our boys that so far as their con.
duct was concerned there was no need
for arbitration. What the Brown tity
team needs, more especially the prin.
cipal of the schools, II common decen-
cy and respect towards visitors. Be
sides, it would do them no harm to
learn the rules of the game before
playing with outside teams. Principal
Sinclair, who, by the way, delegated
himself umpire, lowered his dignity
by slapping and otherwise abusing
some OF the Yale boys simply because
they would not submit to his unfair
decisions. Again, our boys paid for
their own suppers instead OF the eX.
penses being borne by the home team.
The score stood 10 TO in favor OF
Yale.
