success, mostly less at times, VI must
be admitted. but the forward pass
was the pippin play. II appeared 10

here let it be said that young Ed
Conarty, the local quarter was clever
ness in the extreme in making the
passes and the ends and halves who
received them were fully as nifty in
getting the ball and hiking for adj
vances of from fifteen to twenty-five
and even as far as forty yards.
Marion Scores Early.
Hardly five minutets after play had
started Schoenlaub went over the line
for the first touchdown on a play
off tackle. Copeland, a clever booter,
missed placing the pigskin between
the uprights and above the cross-ba
The advantage gained in the first few
minutes OF play was followed by the
forward pass and some classier line
smashing by the Marion backs bring
ing the ball to within striking dis
tance of the goal when Templeton re-
ceived a long forward heave from
Conarty and sped over the line. Cope

Then LaRue braced up q bit and

too quickly. The big LaRue captains

should be Demon. He is that, believe
me. Its n icinch that his opponents
will at least. At fullback his work
was the feature of the LaRue effort.
| The big fellow was in every play and
whenever he could not get to the
play there was not much doing for
LaRue At line plunging he is a reck-
less and nervy chap and 1t usually
took three of his opponents or per-
haps more to pull him to earth. Much
OF his work was faulty though, pro-
badly due to his lack of knowledge
OF the game. But he Is young. lie
weighs about 1SO and is overi six feet
tall, a splendid specimen of physical
manhood AS he ages he will be even
more powerfully built. CUTLERY goes
to college next year and lie should
choose school that is prominent in
athletics lor there is in him the max
ing of a gridiron star of the first
magnitude. Coaching he needs and
probably lots OF it but the real merit
Is there and what is better tan all
he has the spirit. His work Friday
was hampered by the fact that hC
played too closely to the line and hat
no chance to get good start for his
line smashing. Then. too, he usually
had to mike his own hole to get
through and fight his own way wher
tackled. But he could do it. and more
