football game they ever participated
in-perhaps the first they had ever
seen--even their loyal supporters were
prepared to see an exhibition Of SIM
on-pure. stage fright and bewilder-
ment. 1t failed 10 materialize. They
/ waded into the first scrimmape like
veterans and came up smiling as tho
they liked it, and from that moment
to the end of the game, they did about
as they pleased and the Strongsville
eleven could not say them ray. VAL
ley City scored touchdown within
the tlrst few minutes of play and kept
on scoring with remarkable ease un-
til they had rolled up score of Sc
to U. Unless we are greatly mis-
taken there is some real football tai
ent in the making in Valley City
these days. In spite Of the rain a
large crowd attended and from all an
pearances they like football. The next
game is to be played Friday after
noon when the boys will take on Ohm
stead Falls, reputed to be quite a
formidable bunch Of players. The
valley City fans are urged to turn
out and "whoop 'em up"
The many boyhood friends of Ar
thur Gienke will be pleased to hear
that Art has boy all his own to
play with now. Robert Arthur Gienke
Jr., was born Oct. I'd. Congratula-
tions!
The rain Sunday morning failed to
"wet-b blanket" the enthusiasm of the
Rally Day services at the Valley City
church. The building was crowded,
the singing was spirited as never be-
fore and the prospects for an inter-
esting ard eventful winter season for
the Sunday school are very bright.
An auto race contest will commence
in this school next. Sunday which
promises as many thrills as the
Speedway-if you like speed" inves-
tigate this matter and ride along.
i Mr.. and Mrs. Crittenden of Cleve-
land, together with their daughter,
Naomi, visited Valley City Sunday.
Her singing has made Miss Critten-
, den general favorite in the COM
munity and she was prevailed upon
, to sing at the Rally Day service. Her
offerings were received with much en-
thusiasm and efforts are being put
forth to place her on the program fo1
r the Christmas festivities.
