"Shame to Take the Money"
From V. T. S. Bunch,
Of Elkton.
AWFUL TO NOTHING.
Hopkinsville Set a Winning
Pace From First
Kickoff.

The Mclean College football team
found the aggregation from ElktOn
easy money and piled up score of
Sc to 0, in last Saturdays game at
Mercer Park.
The V. T. S. team was a husky
bunch of fellows weighing almost as
much as the Mclean team and with
their excellent speed close game
was predicted, but after the first
three minutes of play it was plainly
demonstrated that V. I. S. was not
even in the class with Mclean. V.
T. S. kicked off to Mclean, who
rushed the ball, by long end runs
and fierce line plunges to the thirty
yard line, where V. 7. s. took
brace and found a kick. Davis
dropped back for place kick, and
sent a beautiful one between the
uprights for three points, the first
sco1A of McLean's foot ball season.
Y. HG. again kicked off to Mclean,
who by the same process of line
plunges and end runs, favored oc-
.casionaly with a healthy forward
pass, rushed the "hog hide" over
for a touch down. The story of the
game, is here told for Mclean ad'
vanced the ballat will, scoring at will.
VT. S. on the other hand, was un-
able to advance the ball in any par
ticular. They did not make first
down a single time against Mclean,
aad this alone will show the relative
strength of the teams.
MCLEAN played clean, fast and
snappy game throughout, while ".
T. S. showed the orange in their
backs, by incessant wrangling, not
because they had any kick coming,
but the beeft rs"were merely trying
to kill time to keep down the score.
Prof. Morrison, their coach, seemed
to encourage them in this sort of
unsportsmanlike conduct. as he
coached continually from the side
lines and came on the field several
times; he was put off the field twice
by the referee. yet no penalty was
inflicted at the request of the
Mclean team, who thought the
victory easy enough, without punish
ing the V. T. S. boys for the mis-
conduct of their coach.
Every Mclean man deserves
special mention, but the lack OF
space forbids it. yet we must men
ton some features. Capt. Burnett.
Neel and Davis made set of backs
that you do not often see outside of
the big teams. Burnett and Davis
at right and left half, run hard and
fast and watch the openings well.
Neel is a new man in the back field
but he plays it like an old head, and
hits the line for five to ten yards at
acl&p. Alex Kuykendall at quarter
rNhis team we'll and was very eff
fective in his own plays, His broth
er Tot" relieved him in the latter
part of the game and was no mean
substitute for his younger brother.
The ends. Sheriff., Hudspeth and
Penick, worked well, smuggling
several forward passes and taking
care of their own forward passes.
The line held we'll and made good
openings. Tackles, Ashley and Fate
Burnett, should be mentioned for
the way they advanced the ball
when called upon to shoulder the
"sMine cover" Lewis was placed
as&aard in the latter part Of the
game. and hit them like he laughs
hard. Sellers might have figured
prominently in the game had he not
been suffering with Jobs affection.
Quarters 10 min. each.
