Grove Warriors Will Contest With
McFerrin This Afternoon On
Barton Field.

Agreed to be one of the prettiest
and hardest fought games ever played
between two prep schools was be.
tween Grove and Union City Train
ing School at Union City on last Fri
day afternoon. Up until the last 81
seconds of the game, neither side had
scored, and with only IL seconds LETT
for the Grove boys to equal it, the U.
G. 7. S. boys romped in with touch
down. y
Coach Taylor is commenting on the
splendid showing that the Blue and
White boys made, said that they were
in splendid form and that they held
the Union City players on every
trick and turn, and that the enemy
only were able to score, by means of
a forward pass in the last few Sec
onds of the game, after three Of the
Grove boys had been injured.
From the moment, when Union
City won the toss off, and the uphill
lay of the field fell to our boys, 1t
seems that they held the line, broke
up forward passes, and otherwise ac-
quilted themselves quite nobly. JUST
before the end of the first quarter,
the Groveites retrieved he ball from
a close call to Union City's goal line
by as pretty bit of skilled playing
and head work as is ordinarily obser-
we'd in prep teams.
Dinwiddie, Littleton, Hopper, and
Morgan, all did pretty work for the
home team
The boys were not in the least
crest-fallen over so slight miss OF
victory, because OF the most cor
dial welcome extended them by the
Union City people. 1t put a goo
taste in their mouths, particularly af-
ter much less cordial, almost hostile
welcomes that they have received else
where.
Grove will play McFerrin Of Mar
tin at Barton Field this Thursday
afternoon. A football game is a
splendid diversion for a Thanksgiving
afternoon, and in view Of the facs
that this is the final game of very
successful season, for the first foot
ball team that Paris has had in sew
eral years. team that has worked
hard and done it's best, it is to be
hoped that a large crowd will be
present to witness this last struggle
over the pig-skin.

We find it everywhere. 1t is the pop

nation. How clearly the light Of this
day reveals its hideous features.
What sin it is. What hearts it has
broken, what lives it has ruined. o.,
how the arrow of sons or a daugh-

it has shattered, what hatred and NAL

qualities of character it has dethron-
