Anglo-French Forces Capture Twenty Miles Of

London, Sept. 27.-Heavy and con-
tinuous attacks by the British and
French have cost the Germans more
than twenty thousand unwounded
men taken prisoners and twenty
miles of trenches in the west.
Souchez has been stormed and cap
tured and an advance is reported
north of Arras. The assaults began

While the allies we're advancing
into German entertainments, British
battleships were battering away at
German positions between Zeebrug-
ge and Newport.
For several weeks there had been
an almost incessant bombardment
with big guns, which increased late
last week in intensity, particularly in
the sectors where infantry attacks
took place. This prepared the way
for the general assault.
The French, who have the most
important gain to their credit. made
their chief onset around Perthes,
Beausejour and Suippes, in Cham
payne, where in December they made
a considerable gain. This attack,
backed by a tremendous artillery
fire, gave them possession of more
territory than they had retaken from
the Germans since the latter dug
themselves in after the battle Of 3.

HIGH SCHOOL
OUTCLASSED
Heavier Team Defeats Them Is
to 0 in Opening
Game.
BAD START MADE FOR SEASON
Plenty Of Speed But Too Light
in The Line---Lineup
and Score.

The Montgomery Bell eleven de-
feated the Hopkinsville High School
football team in the opening game
Saturday at MERGERS park by the
score of 1870. Outweighed 15lbs. to
the man, the High School boys fought
gsmely but their little advantage of
speed was not sufficient to overcome
the odds against them.
Montgomery Bel lost the toss and
kicked to Roberts at the north goal.
The ball see-sawed in the center of
the field for the first quarter of the
pay. An intercepted forward pass
gave it to the visitors on the 80 yard
line at the end of the quarter.
Line plunges, made possible by the
weight of the opponents, carried t e
ball to the 6 yard line, where High
held for the most exciting part of
the game. On 4th down with foot
to go for a touch down, Hager, the
plunging full back, carried the pig
skin in terrific smash through left
tackle for the first score of the game.
Blair failed the goal. M. B. 6, H.
H. s., O.
At the beginning of the 3rd quar-
ter, long forward pass to right
end. Letter carried the ball 80 yards
through unobstrueted field for a
touch down. No goal.
The third touch down was made at
the middle of the last quarter. Rob-
erts had dropped back to the % yard
line to try pass. The line was I'M
able to hold, and Wilson, Braley and
Letter, hitting him at the same time,
knocked the ball cut of his hand
Herzig, the roly-poly center, fell up
on it on open field. and seeing an OPP
portunity passed ir from his prone
position forward to Deadrick, who
carried it unobstrUcted fer a touch
down. NO goal. This ended the
scoring.
The last touch down was thought
illegal by some of the officials, but
Referee Foster declared it = touch
down, and was unable to reverse his
decision.
The game as a whole was a poor
article of football. Beefng, Raging
and kicking by the visitors were the
orders of the day, with slight in
terspersing of rough stuff. However,
Montgomery Bell knew football, and.
when they did play, put up a credit
able game. Muck Brown, of Wander
|bilt, showed them that. Ezell and
Doubleday deserve little credit for
sportmanship by contrast
For the High School. Brown, Lack
ey, Roberts and Breathitt deserve
mention. Although handicapped by
line that leaked like a sieve. theg
played football the entire time and
fought to the last. Coach Mallary
deserves just credit for the machine
he has built up. which although prac-
tically new. played consistently and
headily. The handicap is with the
line. for whose lightness and green
ness he is not responsible. The coach
realizes his handicap. and is working
to give them speed enough to Offset
this.
