MADISON DOWNED
BY VERSAILLES
Locals Lose by Two Touchdowns
Gentry Stars At End
For Local Team

Versailles proved too strong
for the Madison football eleven
Friday, defeating tn, locals by :,
score of II to 0. The Madison
boys played fair bail bit made
several costly fur.bles and ms
plays. Versailles kicked off t.
Madison who defended the west
agOl. Moberley received the ball
and made a so yard run, carrying
the ball within 30 yards Of the
goal before he was downed. He
had an open field just before he
was tackled, the Versailles man
getting him from behind. When
he fell he dropped the ball yell
low and white recovering. They
punted the ball out Of danger.
During the first quarter, the 10
Gals outplayed Versailles by
wide margin. After receiving ths
punt they tore great gaps in TIE
line, putting the ball on the e
yard line before they were stop
ped. However, with the close uf
the first quarter Versailles took
up an offensive game with much
! success. The Boston brothers
and Ead9er travelled for good
gains time after time. Just BE-
fore the close of the hall a pass.
which netted 20 yards, put the
yellow and white eleven in posi-
tion to score. One thrust at the
line proved unsuccessful but Fad
ger carried the ball over the next
down by leaping arousd the cen
ter of the line.
Near the close OF the third per-
iOd Farley recovered a fumbtc
about 10 wards from the goal. He
had an open field but stumbled.
Here the quarter closed. Farley
hit center for seven wards, but
referee Hansin moved the boI
back three yards, claiming IT,.
Farley had been tackled there.
The next play nctted three yards
but here Madison resorted to a
pass which was grounded, the
ball being put in Versailles poses
sion on the 20 yard line. Then
the Versailles backs started down
the field for another touchdown.
Eadger got away for two long
runs while the rest of the back
field plowed thru for many yards.
Within 10 yards Of the goal Bos-
ton hit the line as Farley had
done in the previous half, for !
yards. The whistle blew when
he had Travelled only half the dis
tance, the locals claimed and that
he had been tackled there. Han
sin allowed the gain, however.
Williams Boston carried the bail
over on the next play.
For the locals Ralph Gentry
was the outstanding man. He
broke up every play around his
end with the exception OF ore.
Versailles resorted to the other
end after finding a stone wall in
Gentry. Time after time hc
broke thru and threw the Yer
sailles backs for losses. But for
his stellar work tie score woul
probably have been much larger.
