Game

Immediately after the conclusion Of
Saturdays game with Hiram, Kenyon
players assembled at the Y. M. c. A.
and elected Charles Kinder of Findlay
captain of their next years team. But
one other name was presented and
that was withdrawn. Kinder has been
one Of the main-stays of the Kenyon line
for the past two years. He plays end
or tackle. Injuries kept him from
playing in the last two games of this
season. He is member of the junior
class of Kenyon

Hiram Presented Stronger
Team Than Expected
Kenyon Elects A Captain
After The Game

In a rough and tumble game, marred
by constant scrapping between the
players, Kenyon and Hiram closed
their 1914 football seasons at the ath-
letic park Saturday Afternoon with a
13 to 13 tie score. The first half was
Kenyon's, the second Hiram's and on
ly the inability of Guard Soller of Hir-
am to kick goal from touchdown
when victory depended on it kept his
team from winning. His try occurred
in the last quarter, when Hiram had
swept Kenyon off it's feet by plays
through the center of the line and fin
ally scored on an end run by Trotter.
The kick-out was perfect ad the ball
was directly In front Of Kenyon's goal.
Soller missed by wide margin and
time was called several minutes later.
Kenyon-did' not present so-formid-
able lineup as met and defeated
Muskingum in this city week ago.
The absence of Olenburg and McGor-
nelly was very noticeable. Harley
Vance of this city did the most con-
sistent gaining for Kenyon. On one
occasion he tore off beautiful 5O-yard
end run.
Hiram scored before the game had
got well under way, when Trotter in
! lercepted a forward pass Schafer had
thrown toward Gayer and raced acress
the line. with several of Kenyon's fleet
est runners after him. Soller kicked
Taken by surprise, but not worried the
least, Kenyon went at the game hard.
Hiram's line seemed impregnable, so
end runs and forward passes were re-
sorted to. One of these latter, Schaf.
er to Gayer, finally gave Kenyon a
touchdown, Stout tieing the score by
pretty kick.
Kenyon's next score was made after
Hiram's line had been badly shat.
tered by the furious bucks of Hall
wood, the latter making 1t. Stout
missed goal and the score was Is to Z.
Hiram started in to use the forward
pass with deadly effectiveness, her
formation being rather new and hard
to break up. This, coupled with the
wonderful charging ability of Fullback
Henry, who battered large holes in thu
Kenyon line whenever given the ball,
kept the play well within Kenyon's ter
! ritory in the final quarter Hiram at
length scored in the manner recount
ed above.
Hiram presented much stronger
team than was expected. Her back
field could hardly be improved upon.

WOOSTER
Won CfOss-Countfy Run From
Kenyon

Spectators at the Kenyon Hiram
football game Saturday were taken
by surprise when, right in the middle
C, the game, an order was cried out to
"clear the field" On looking around,
a man in gym suit was seen sprint
ing through the crowd to the south
goal post. He was moaning as IL in
great agony. Reaching there, he sank
to the ground. Instantly several 9TH
er figures, clad in the same manner,
appeared and made for the goal post.
Seven runners in all reached the goal
and then the event was explained.
1t seems that Kenyon and Wooster
cross-country teams had a dual meet.
The run was to be four miles and the
course was carefully measured last
week. The start was made from the
Harry Wilson farm, north Of the city
and the finish was at the football
field. The event was timed so that
the ending would be right in the midst
Of the game. The runners were TAX
en- to the Wilson farm in autos and
these machines returned to the city
with Timekeeper McCaughey.
Captain Goodwin Of the Kenyon
team set the pace at the very outset
and Wooster runners stated after
wards that there was no chance for
them to catch up with him. He fin
ished first and ran the four miles in
on even twenty-five minutes. Three
minutes later, Twinem Of Wooster ar
rived. He was followed by Leavitt,
Swan and Richards, all of Wooster.
Williams of Kenyon finished sixth and
Ressler of Wooster seventh. Three
Kenyon men. White, Frazier and
Platt, dropped out Of the race.
Wooster won the race, as only the
first four places count. Captain Good
win was sorely disappointed at the
showing made by his team, but ex-
pressed a hope for better things in
the future. He, himself, made won
derful race. This is the first event of
this nature that has been pulled off In
this county for good many years.

LOSSES
ENORMOUS IN THE
RECENT BATTLES
Chicago Man Declares That
the Hospitals of All Bel
gian Cities Are Full of
Wounded.

London, Aug. 11.-John Clarkson of
Chicago, a railroad constructor who
left Antwerp on Sunday afternoon and
reached here by way of Ostend, says
the number of Belgian wounded is
enormous. All the hospitals at Brus-
sells, Ghent and other cities, he says,
are full, and factories and converts
are being utilized for the reception
of wounded.
Mr.. Clarkson said he saw a long
train full of wounded soldiers unloaded
at Brussels. The wounded men were
carried through ranks OF soldiers, who
presented arms as they passed. while
crowds of people looked on in silence.
When tho German prisoners were
brought to Antwerp from the front
large crowd gathered to see their ar
rival but no attempt was made to mo-
lest them. The German soldiers, ac-
cording to Mr.. Clarkson appeared to be
in good condition. The men looked de-
jected but their officers wore a proud
and defiant air
The banks at Antwerp, said Mr..
Clarkson, were paying only 10 per
cent OF the deposits and refused to
honor American money. Very few
Americans were left there. The prices
of food were fixed by the military au-
thorities and any storekeeper caught
overcharging was arrested.
While crossing the channel the
steamer on which Mr.. Clarkson trav-
eled hugged the French coast until
near Dunkirk. where she shot across
to Dover Mr.. Clarkson said he saw
three large battleships and four sub
marines while he was making the voy-
age. but there were no signs of French
or English troops in that part of Bel
gium through which he crossed.

lnasmuch as the Algerine was laid
down in 1894, and the Shearwater in
1899, while the Rainbow is of even more
recent construction, It seemed difficult
to connect them with the date lines,

self to the bone for action not far on
