MONETT HIGH WINS
IN PRACTICE GAME

\ Monett High school defeated the
town team in good practice game by
| the score of 27 to 0. Although the
I game was not advertised about 300
were out to see it. All said Monet
has another championship team. Some
were rather skeptical at first but by
| the time the first quarter was over
even the skeptics were all praise.
| A new rule for foot ball was shown.
Instead of the place kick after the
touch down for point the ball is
brought to the five yard line and
regular play resumed for one down.
If the ball is carried across the line
one point is scored. There was much
comment on the rule during the game.
The strongest opinion seemed to be
for the old fashioned place kick in
preference to the @resume play from
the five yard line" rule.
I There were not many spectacular
plays during the game but great
deal of good straight football was
demonstrated. The High school had
the ball most of the time and usually
made consistent gains. The town
team also made advances and threat
ened to cross the school goal several
times. A touch down ws made DUR
ing each quarter and an extra point
in the last three periods. Sheperd
made the first touch down on a re-
turned punt behind the line. Miller
made the next one around right end
and scored point on pass from
Beatty. Howerton added six more
points by good plunge through the
line and the extra point was added
by another pass from Beatty. The
| lst touch down was made by two
good passes from Beatty and a good
thirty yard run by Miller. Hulse
earned the last point by tackle
around play.
Coach Warren in commenting on
the game said that he was well pleas
ed with his line and didn't see how it
| could be much bettered. "Hulse and
Cuendet at tackles can't be beaten"
he said. Estes also was very good at
guard and was the strongest of the
middle of the line. 1t was probably
due to Estes presence that Mourglia
played the fine game he did at center
Shepherd was fighting all the time.
There was not much to choose be-
tween the ends, Steele and Reed,
Steele was good at tackling while
Reed carried the ball in fine style.
Boss played cool, brainy game at
quarter. The other three backfield
men played a good smashing game
through the line especially fullback
Howerton. Beatty uncorked some
mighty good passes to Miller.
Coach Warren acted as referee.
The education department made an
observation trip to Mrs. Wilhelm's
room in Forest Park. They report
that they saw some very good work
there.
Mr.. Rose and Mr. Roberts, who are
on their way to Teachers College, |
dropped in for a visit with their team
mate, Coach Warren. /
The schedule for the home games !
has been completed. The teams that |
will play here are Wheaton, Miller, !,
Joplin, Webb City, Mt. Vernon and
Springfield Most of the big schools !
want to come to Monet because they |
can always get good backing. That |
is the reason that Springfield con-
sented to play on Thanksgiving. |
Every date on the card has been filled |
except Oct 13. The teachers meeting |
is held on this date and it is quite
probable that no game can be sched-
uled for the thirteenth.
