Leon 6, Lamont 0.

The Leon High School eleven went
to Lamont last Friday and defeated
the Lamont High School by a score
or = to @. The Leon team lost seven
of their old men this year, so it was
practically new team which played
the first game of the season, but the
boys made creditable showing, and
are naturally elated over winning
from Lamont
Leon won the toss and chose to
defend the south goal. F. Brown
kicked to G.. Gibson, who was tack
led inside the ten yard line by w.
Scott. Lamont failed to gain and
Leon took the ball on downs. Leon
failed on three attempts to punch the
line. The referee for the first five
minutes allowed only three downs.
Lamont took the ball and punted out
of danger, Lamont having the ball
in the middle of the field, at the end
OF the quarter. Score, Lamont 0,
Leon O..
When the second quarter opened
the Leon backs tore great holes in
Lannon'S line, but could not get with
in striking distance of the goal. F.
Brown was strong on kicking, his
kicks being good every time for ten
yards better than those of his op-
ponents. Just before time was
called one of Browns punts went to
the Lamont goal line, and Gibson in
his effort to recover the ball kicked
it over the line and then tried to
return it and was downed behind
the line, which, by the rules was a
safety and should have counted two
points for Leon, but the officials
called it a touchdown and the ball
went to Lamont on their twenty yard
line Gibson punted out of danger
and the half ended with the ball in
Leon's lands on Lannon's 40-yd. line.
When the third period opened La
moni kicked to Leon and the ball
was returned to the middle of the
field. Lamont had the ball most of
this period, but failed to get closer
than thirty yards of Icons goal.
Leon went on the field in the last
quarter determined to win, and be-
fore two minutes of play F. Brown
went seventy yards for touchdown
on fake play. Leon failed to kick
goal. Leon then kicked to Lamont,
who were defending the north goal.
Lamont was held and forced to punt.
Leon took the ball and started a
march down the field with a series of
forward passes, but lost the ball and
the game ended with the ball in La
moni's hands on their forty yard line.
The whole Leon line played a
great game on both defense and, Of
tense. F. Brown deserves special
mention for his kicking. Keshlear
for his end runs, o. Brown for his
generalship and r. Scott for good
work in line smashing.

Auto Turned Turtle.

There was quite serious accident
about six miles north of Leon last
Saturday evening, in which three
persons were injured. AS is we'll
known there was large crowd in
attendance at the Corn Picnic near
Garden Grove, an unusual large num-
Der of autos being present. After
the program was over there was a
rush of course to get home. Among
the first of the autos to get away was
one owned by DR.. G.. P. Reed of Davis
City, which was driven by Miss Mary
Teale. In the car with her were
Mrs. Reed, Pearl Wiley, Harry Buell.
and George Shoemaker. Following
them was the Ford touring car owned
and driven by Thos Fox, of Davis
City. There had been several brushes
between the cars but the car driven
by Miss Teale had remained in the
lead, until point about six miles
north of Leon was reached when Mr..
Fox attempted to drive around the
car in front of him. His car struck
a soft place in the road and in an
instant it was overturned and the
occupants, Mrs. Cecil Cummings, Mrs
Oscar Hagan, Mrs. Blaine Buell. and
Miss Jessie Adkins, all of Davis City,
were thrown out. Mr.. Fox, who was
driving the car, was badly skinned
up about the head and face, Miss
Adkins sustained broken collar
bone, and Mrs. Cummings was badly
shocked and bruised, it being re-
ported that her back was broken, but
this was incorrect, and she was able
to be moved to her home at Davis
City Monday.
The Fox car, Ford, was pretty
badly demolished, and when it turn
ed over directly in front of the Reed
car the latter struck the wreck and a
fender, running board and radius
rods We're broken. 1t is fortunate
that the accident did not prove more
serious, as there was mighty good
chance for several persons to have
been killed, and all the parties are
congratulating themselves on their
escape from death.
