visitors 44-0 defeat. This is Lafay-

men and three touchdowns were scored
in the first period. Another was ad-
ded few minutes after the second
quarter started. Coach Sutherland
then called it a day for his regulars
and they were withdrawn.

the regulars played. This fiashy half
back scored three touchdowns, two in
the first period and one. in the sec
ond. His first came two minutes after
the opening kickoff, dashing off right
tackle for 40 yards. This was a great
exhibition of open field running, con-
sidering the condition 70 the field

Joe Marhefka. the chunky half-back
with all-American ambitions, was the
outstanding star after the varsity men
were removed. He entered the game
| in the third period and on the second
play ran 75 yards around right end FOR
a touchdown. His speed enabled him
to complete his dash without inter
ference. Again in the final quarter he
broke loose on an end run, dashing "a

Hunting club is looking forward 10
some rare sport this season, which

sport with chase after two foxes
that make their home in a lumber

foxes were brought here as cubs last
summer and have grown into fine. big,
1usty fellows III for a showdown
with the splendid pack Of the club.
All summer efforts have beeh made
10 trap the foxes. but they ev ed all
the snares and now are fattenlng on
chickens that venture too near their
lumber yard lair. The male fox was
observed the other day pursuing a
large rooster up Walnut street in the
middle OF the day, despite the shouts
Iof the amazed spectators. II is the
intention Of the club 70 guard this
pair carefully through the season and
10 hunt them when other quarry Is
scarce. The foxes are little afraid
Of dogs or persons; they appear TO
enjoy a chase more than the Gverage
hunter does. One night recently they
challenged the Milford nunt pack 70
Ia run and kept the hounds at top
speed almost all night. After circling
the country for miles they returned
TO their lumber yard home and evi-

they were not seen again for two
ldays.
The pair usually travel together and
