II IS To LAUGH
Merrill Sport Writer Tries to
Tell About Foot Ball Game at
Merrill.

1t took the sporting writer On the
Merrill Herald nearly a week to dis
cover what the Reporter said about
the Merrill Grand Rapids foot ball
game. We don't know who she is,
but we do know she doesn't know
much about foot ball. We are glad
to note. in her comeback that she
refers to Spaulding's foot ball guide,
for it gives us the impression that
she knows there is such a book al
though the original account of the
game shows that she has, never
looked inside the book. In the fol
lowing we shall quote from the Mer-
rill Herald of Monday, Nov. 10 and
comment on it. People familiar
with foot ball plays and rules will no
doubt laugh at the Stiffness and alb
surdity of some Of the things said.
Actually, 2 according to the story
printed in the Herald, the game was
won by the Rapids team 8 to O.
Here is what the Herald said: "One
peculiar instance of play caused
much comment and haggling by the
players and officials Grand Rapids
attempted a drop kick, which went
over the pole" Now if the child
who writes sport dope up in the back
woods town will read Rule 6, SECTION
/ Il, she may learn that when a kick
from the field goes over the pole
it counts three. So, We have it from
MerriIlis own sport writer that the
Rapids won the game.
| Another quotation, Weather con
dftions were not ideal and this in
terfered greatly with Merrill $
chances, for they were practically
able to punt against the wind. .
Now maybe the sport writer does not
know that the sides change goals
every quarter and that Merrill had
/ the wind in its favor just one half
of the time Why MerriIl's chances
were interfered with any more than
their opponents is difficult to I'M
derstand.
Another gem, Play for the most
part was in the vicinity of the
Grand Rapids goal on this account,
( (referring to the previous quotation)
but there were several times that
Merrill threatened them severely.
Once Merrill held Grand Rapids for
downs within their three yard line
and with remarkable work too; The
fact is that during three fourths OF
the playing time the ball was in
/ MerrilTs territory and only during
the third quarter when Merrill resort
ed to kicking did the ball get into
the Rapids territory for any length
of time. The quotation last given
contradicts itself.
Thet fact of the matter is that at
no time could Merrill penetrate the
Rapids line and theRapids men went
through the Merrill line almost at
will except when Merrill driven to
desperation when close to its own
goal line held and, held well.
At the very opening Of the game,

PROVIDE AGAINST
ACCIDENTS

Our attention has been called to
the fact that somebody is going to
get hurt on the wagon bridge unless
the city authorities take the pre-
cautions to erect or provide some
kind of a ariIing on the inside of the
bridge As it is now it is COM
moG tAing to see children, wemeR
men aud boys, cross and re-erOSs
from one side to the other of the
bridge, or in other words from side
walk to sidewalk Automobiles and
other vehicles cross the bridge at
more or less speed and several
very close calls have already occur
ed where automobiles were unable
to see persons making these cross
ings until very close to them. Us
uaIIy a person decides quickly to
run across from one side to the
other without taking the precaution
of looking both ways to see what
the probabilities are of safe cross
ing. On a busy day if a person will
stand at either end of the bridge or
in some place where they can watch
the travel, they will notice a great
deal of crossing on the part OF
pedestrians from the north to the
south side of the bridge and vice
versa It would cost the city small
amount to either wire the inside OF
the bridge or erect a railing of some
kind Until this is done we would
suggest that automobiles or othel
vehicles travel on the bridge very
slow. If this was always done. nc
accident could occur.
