EAIL TO SCORE
No thrilling end-runs, sensation
al forward passes, or spectacular
playing was embodied In yester
day's football game between the
Marshrield high Bchool eleven und
the ltosebnrg high school squad,
which resulted In a scoreless game.
Only once did Murshfleld make
their yardage, while the Hoseburg
boys were successful In making
(heir yardage twice. At one time It
appeared as though Marshfleld
would score but the locals rallied
their strength and bucked the line
so viciously thut the visitors were
driven back and a hefty punt by
"Kusty" Irwin placed the ball
away from the danger line. It ap
peared that Marshfleld'B Une was
much heavier, than Ruaeburg'B but
the home town team seemed to ex
hibit greater spoeil and developed
some real fight towards the end of
the contest.
In the last quarter, Itoseburg
Btarted to rush the ball duwn the
field unit once attempted to kick a
goal. Limited time brought forth
forward pusses and other last-niln
ute erforts to make n Bcore, but
the timekeeper's whistle closed the
game Willi the final score of 0 to 0.
Couch Doubet'B boys must be

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4. In
the presence of veterans of the
first division of the American Ex
peditionary Forces. President.
Coolidge dedicated a monument
to their dead here today as "a
lesson of the supreme blessing of
peace with honor, a symbol of
stern warning."
The peace now established must
be nourished, the president de
clared, In this country's Interna
tional relations. The constitution
Itself still must be defended, he
suld, to preserve Individual free
dom through non-interference
with tho courts and fair oppor
tunity by the prevention of gov
ernment monopolies in business.
While recalling his wish for
American membership In tho
world court and further disarm
ament, the president warned In
reference to the countrle's Inter
national relations, thut "we do
not propose to entrust to any
other power or combination of
powers, any authority to muke up
our in I ud for us."
