Champions, disposed of a worthy
rival Sunday, Oct. 29th, in well
played game at the Oliver park in
this city, when they defeated the
fast Monroes Of Chisholm by a
score of II to 3. The game was
very interesting at all times, and
was deserving Of a much larger
audience than was present. One
pleasing feature was the work OF
Referee Myers, which was very
satisfactory to both teams, and
the wrangling on this account, so
much in evidence in previous
games, was conspicuous by it's
absence.
Chisholm scored first by the air
route, when in the first quarter,
Stanckie drop kicked a pretty
goal from the 25-yard line after a
series of end runs and line plunges
had brought the ball within strlk-
ing distance. Up to this time, the
local boys had played indifferent
football, but with the game going
against them, they braced up and
Chisholm never again threatened
to score. In the first part Of the
third quarter, Half-back Eaton OF
the locals, after taking a forward
pass from Virginia's 35-yard line,
with excellent interference from
Lindsay, ran the length Of the
field for a touchdown. Goal was
kicked and the score was 8 to 5
