LADS FROM COUNTY SEAT DO
THEIR INEFFICIENT WORST IN
CLASH AT McGILL, THE SCORE

Eberly II, Walker Il. stroup IL,
McGill 10.
This was the story In last Sundays
game However. inasmuch as the
three wearers of the moleskin here
inbefore mentioned are members of
the smelter football team, the score
will go into the rule book as McGiIi
46. Up to date Ely has not found
it necessary to hire an expert accoun-
tant to keep track of the points made.
And for two cents we would tell what
Ely got. Their efforts during the
four quarters would be largely repre-
sented by a hole in a doughnut.
Ely was outplayed and outguessed
at every stage of the game, and never
even threatened the goal of their ad-
versaries on a single occasion. The
lads from the County capital we're
humbled by an eleven that was supe-
rior in passing. rushing and kicking
and possessed of defense that held
its opponents safe at all times.
To those who watched the perfor
nance there was not any more excite
ment in witnessing the efforts OF the
|floundering aggregation than In drop
ping clamshell in the Atlantic ocean
or giving the up and down to the
squash on its native heath. Even
lemon might be libelled for the pur-
pose of comparison. Now let's con-
slider the squash. 1t is large, un-
weildy and absolutely devoid of am
bition and just content to be a
squash. As far as the Ely football
team is concerned-ah. well. Lei
them rest in peace.
The writer of this piece could not
stop a football with fish net or hit
flock of ducks with a tennis rae
quet He could not run down the
length of football field in thirty
minutes to save his neck and even
then he would pull up with severe
attack of lumbago. If he tried to
sneak around one of the ends his
frame would undoubtedly be the
worse off for wear. Nevertheless and
Notwithstanding he is going to tell
lot of intelligent football players
from the city of courthouses why
they lost the game last Sunday
They possessed weak and feeble
crew that was incapable of resistance
Ely would not ask any one to record
that they played football. They went
through lot of motions Also they
went through lot of discouraged
motions They were slower than an
investigating committee in the Unit
ed States senate, the news from Ber-
lin or the complete dissolution of the
Federal league. The individual mem
bers displayed a machine-like preci
sion in tossing off what few oppor-
tunities were available.
The gang from the burg that boasts
OF its lawns were about as efficient
as a quart of water at full-grown
fire and as soft as a Calliaux love
letter. On the defense they seemed
to need the services of a skilled law
yer. They couldn't defend themselves
The jury that stood on the sidelines
accused them of all sorts of crimes.

millions. When a football team car
canter down the field without serious
opposition there is no limit to what
they might accomplish.
