feated again, but this time with
no sting left behind. and no alibis,
is the story of Pennington s game
last Saturday with the strong East
Side reserves. There Is no douet
that the best team won, but there
Is also no doubt that tina Farming.
ton team played infinitely better
football than they ever haYe be-
fore. The shifts In the lineup
worked admirably, and the deFen-

tho playing OF Saturday demon.
Strate that Pennington has i'm
proved but the score also shows
It. In the first 5Sme Of the season
West Monongah beat Pennington
S2-0. Last week the East Side re-
serves beat West Monongah By
two touchdoTns. These scores
would indicate that the Fair
monters ought to have beaten the
locals by moro than forty points,
but since the score was held to
fourteen points. there Is no other
conclusion that the Pennington

scores and dope, there is another
indication that the team has iM
proved. As pointed out. West
Monongah defeated the locals 50.
O. A week later, Fairview beat
Pennington $40. II the Farming

games, indications would point to
Monongah victory over Fairvlew
when the two teams met. But
since the opposite happened. AMI
Falrview won handily, Farming

their team is steadily improving.
The next game will probably be
with the Morgantown High re-
serves at Morgantown, but this
game Is not definite. smithfiei4
will also probably be played In tho
near future. Victory in one or botll
OF these games Is expected ID
