Belding Wins From Portland -,
The Bedding High school foot ball
team staged a comeback" Saturday
afternoon when they defeated Port
land High 60 to z. After their over
whelming defeat at the hands OF
Grand Ledge High two weeks. ago,
the boys have greatly improved and
it was an altogether different looking
team that took the field when Ref
eree's Dunham's whistle blew, start
ing the game last Saturday. Beldlng
won the toss and chose to defend the
south goal. At the kickoff, Bedding
worked the ball to Portland's twenty
ward line by a series of end runs
and lien drives, but lost the ball when
the forward pass failed to work.
Portland slowly showed the ball back
and then one of their fieety backs
got away with an end run and took
the ball over for their only touch
down. They kicked goal. Jersey
was then substituted for Mehney at
right half and on the next play
"Herl" carried the ball over for
Belongs first counter. Jersey kick
ed goal. From then on, the game
was decidedly Belongs. The visit
ors put up a stiff fight, but the fierce
drives of the local backfield ripped
their line to pieces, and on long end
runs Bedding never failed to make a
good gain. Portland showed their
ability as fighters when Belding was
held for downs within a yard from
goal. 1t was a good clean game and
he locals showed their good sports
man ship. Penalties were few. yet

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Last Thursday morning Mr.. An
CELL, Ionia County Y. M. c. A. secre-
tary, and Mr.. Rieman, secretary
Barry County Y. M. C. A. visited High
school. Mr.. Reiman gave an excel
lent talk to the High school pupils
and the faculty on the subject OF
athletics. He had played half back
on the u. of M. foot ball team in 1914,
when they played Harvard and gave
most interesting description of that
game. He brought out the fact very
forcibly that the best type of athlete
does not find it necessary to use a
great deal of profanity, nor does he
indulge in habits that steal his vital
ity and efficiency.
There will be no school this week
Thursday and Friday as the teachers
are to attend the Michigan State
Teachers association at Grand Rap
ids.
Thursday night seven of the boys
of the High school met with Mr..
Hockstad to organize a Y. M. C. A..
group for the school year. Officers
were elected as follows: President,
Raymond Peabody; Ed. Johnson, vice
president, and Ray Forman, secre-
tary-treasurer The next meeting
will be held at Mr.. Hockstad's home
November z.
Monday afternoon some new yells
were suggested for the High school
and little time was spent in prac-
ticing them.

Well, il has come and gonei What
is it? Why the big party at Ravell's
Mills. Last Friday night the Seniors
and the High school faculty were en-
tertained at a Halloween party by
Misses Mary Ravell and Helen Lap
ham at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.
Ravell.
When we arrived we were request
ed by two ghosts to Follow the
Rope" which led us over the biggest
part of Ravell's farm and up to the
house where we were heartily well
coined by the hostesses.
Many interesting games were play
ed and every one enjoyed CD the mu-
sic furnished by the boys. 1t was
demonstrated during the evening that
the teachers were good blowers;
of course, that was merely proving a
theory. An imported witch made an
admirable fortune teller, still we are
wondering where she received all her
information concerning our private
lives. Anyone seeking further infor-
nation about the games, inquire of
Ernest Rummler, EletIia jerks, or
Leone Hoyt.
The best part of the entertainment
Ito the boys) came later when the
lunch was served. It was so good
that Mr.. Reed forgot to keep the foot
ball men in training; which alone
shows the excellency of it.
After expressing our appreciation
to the hostesses, we withdrew to the
