1873, and consequently has seen all the de-
velopments Of that great country. He has

vast deal Of experiences as heroic and as

The most int, esting game Of the season
was played on last Thursday between our
boys and King College on the local field.
The teams were we'll matched and during
the ir,t two quarters the ball wavered back
and forth across the field but found its way
to neither goal. In the third quarter it was
making its way toward Kings goal. But
at very opporture time Bond arrested its
course and turned the tide. After some
moments Bond carried it over the goal.
After this the ball again wavered back and
forth. first Maryville would seem to have
the advantage ard then it would seem as
though King would carry the ball over.
This condition continued almost to the end
of the last quarter. Two minutes we're left
and Maryville had the ball but about forty
yards from the goal. She was determined
to have another touchdown. Every muscle
Of the team was tense, every rooter was
breathless with suspense. First down yard
or two gainedl Second down another yard!
Third down a little more made. Then the
ten yards made! The operation is repeated
Now only twenty yards from the goal but a
good part of the two minutes is gone. Slow
ly but stedily the ball is pushed forward.
Now it its only yard or SO from the goal
but the time is almost up. The question
"Will it go over?" was on every lip. Yes!
Butler carried it over just in time. The
crowd was hysterical with applause, goal
was kicked. Thus the score was 10 to In
Maryville's favor.
