BIZ FRAZIER VANCE.


Augustana completely walloped
Monmouth Saturday on Ericsson
field, the final score being Is to 3.
Monmouth's aggregation out
weighed Augustana's considerably,
but they evidently lacked coaching.
! and mixed up several shifts. With
four regulars on the sidelines, and
an entirely reorganized line, Augie
outplayed the DOWNSTAIRS from the
outset, securing the first touchdown
within four minutes: then settling
down to an easy gate, saving the
/ men with timely punts, Duffin pi-
loted the men through to an easy
victory.
Monmouth Captain Ont.

laid up this week with a couple of
cracked ribs, and Harry Clark serv-

and white lads in his home town.
Harry is clever punter. but worked
at disadvantage yesterday, Augie's
Zine breaking through SO quick

ones. but was forced to play so far
back that his team was robbed of
a good deal of their effectiveness.
| Pattison and Hofsteter starred for
Monmouth, the plucky right end be-
ing without doubt the star of Mon
mouths outfit. He was exception
ally deft at grabbing passes out OF
the air. and on the defense, he nail
ed anybody who tried to come
around him. Angles interference
