LANCASTER WINS.
Second Team Defeats Cassville
1910.

A very interesting exhibition of
football was given at the fair
grounds last Saturday when the
second team of this city defeated
the husky Cassville aggregation.
The visitors outweighed the home
team by several pounds, but were
outclassed in speed and team work.
The wiry Lancaster lads had no
trouble whatever in pushing or
squeezing the opposing line for
touchdowns, and were seldom held
for downs.
Cassville played both of their
professors, as we'll as several town
lads. They played consistent game,
but were not strong enough to stop
the Lancaster scoring machine.
Archie Taylor, former Lancaster
boy, played most of the game for
Cassville, and it was owing to his
persistent efforts that the score was
not larger on the side of the home
team. The Lancaster backs played
an excellent game, and the work of
Morse at right halfback was a
feature. Probably no other school
in the county can boast of SO fast a
second team as can Lancaster.

promises to be the theatrical treat
of the season. Presented by nome
talent, it carries with it a more
tangible interest than does produc-

and this event is more than up to

play Of the talent in Lancaster in
