which was the second instance Of
double crossing in the bitter rivalry
between the two towns over the games
CarInvillc people bet approximately
$4,000 on the game. it is said, after
hiring ten college players for their
eleven, only to find that Taylorville
had learned of the plan and procured
nine Illinois athletes for its team,
which won, l6 to 0.
Both Desch, member Of the Amer
can Olympic team, and Mohardt, an
ai-America halfback selection, last

played in the game and to-day pre-
sentcd evidence to the Notrc Dame
authorities at South Bend. Ind that

AT South Bend Dcsch and Mohardt
presented their evidence at an informal
meeting of some members of the co..

members expressed the opinion that
the two men were innocent and merely
victims of circum stances. A formal
meeting of the committee will be held
tomorrow, at which all information
gathered will be gone over.
The reports spread through Carlin-
Vile previous to the game were that
