game Saturday.
That's Macomber," replied her es-
cort.
%, I do wish he were Tiger" sighed
the girl.
And many others in the bleachers
wished often during the game Macomber
was Tiger. He it was who booted
the ball thirty-tive or forty yards when
ever his team was held for downs, who
stopped many Tiger play behind the
line, who executed the forward pass
for ROlla and carried the ball for fully
two thirds of the total distance gained
by the Miners.
'ROlla is One-man team, and good
team at that" said Captain Miller of
the Tigers to a reporter for the Uni
versity Missourian after the game.

"Silent Yell" from Girls.

Owing to the absence of the band and

Woodruff, Harry Hunt, Red" Wilson

The sensation of the evening came when,
ut the request of the men, the Uni

some yells. The response was the most
silent instant Of the meeting.

SIDELINE NOTES ABOUT THE

The tone of the yelling told the
progress of the game. 1t started slow
ly and without much volume. For a
while it was flippant and challenging.
Then early in the game when Rolla
ran the ball dangerously near the Tiger
goal, it changed to an appeal COM
mand to the Tigers. Hold that line,
hold that line" the bleachers chanted
desperately. And Missouri held.

heavy in northern portion Thursday
Fair and colder in central portion T"

alarm, that the North Pole has not
blown down, or anything out of the

blast pass off to sea and all will be
