that had assembled here since the
Marietta road opening several years
| ago. Following the parade, was the
football game between M. & M. and
Caldwell at the Malta athletic field.
The crowd was fifty percent larg-
er than any previous crowd
that had ever assembled there on
any occasion. In all there were sew.
the game was SO splendidly played,
and teams so evenly matched, that
everyone got more than their mon
ey's worth
In the evening was the Mardi
Gras. 1t was first planned to hold
it on the public square, but because
Of the chilly weather, it was in the
firemen's headquarters, and at the
American Legion hall. There was al.
special shows in the opera house, all
of which were splendidly attended.
The only accident to mar the day
was in the afternoon when an auto
moile, loaded with young people,
coming here to the football game,
left the road and overturned east Of
Sharon. One occupant, Robt. Tar
Teton, had his collar bone broken.
The accident was caused by driver
running into dusty stretch of road,
and not being able to see the way,
ran off to one side, and the machine
upset.
High school reporters from M. &
M, furnish this paper with the fol-
lowing report of the parade and
football game:
The Parade
The parade started from the high
school building, headed by the
three bands, namely, Caldwell high
school, Malconta Post, and M & NJ.

Just before the game started 80

their appearance in semi-circle

The spirit of M. e NJ, as we
might call Catherine, was dressed
in white satin ornamented with
red and white cape. Her costume
was topped off with red military
hat trimmed with gold tassels.
During the half of the game the
Caldwell band very strikingly dis
played their talent in letter forma-

red ribbons showed the loyalty for
the school. Mrs Edwards entertain

which they SO graciously gave in

The crowd was estimated around
1900 and 1900. Receipts to date
are $277.25, with still a few yet to
report on the sale of their tickets.
NJ. & M.-Caldwell Break Even
was topped off Thursday, by the
the tss "Big Reds" fS of M. & NJ. and the
Caldwell high school team. The
'sBig Reds played by far the best
football they have this season. They
had many new surprising plays
which completely took the Caldwell
eleven off their feet. The boys
from Caldwell, however, stood up
well and managed to tie the score

Both teams were determined to
take the trophy, but because the
score was tied as 1t has been for the
past two years, M. & M. will keep
the cup six months and Caldwell
will take it for the next six. We
shall have another battle for it next

years ago the teams tied, 90; last
year it was 6-6.
