THE MONMOUTH GAME SALEiM f IOYS NOT ONLY LOST GAME, BUT HAD AN UPSET. On Staurday. November 1st, the Sa lem High School football team met the Monmouth team on the latter" grid iron, at Monmouth, In a game which resulted In a walk-over for; Monmouth to the tuno of .91 to' 0. . . . Most of ' Monmouth's ' gains werjs made through Salem's light line, and they would again and again send their heavy full and line-men through the Salem's tackles' for gains of five to ten or twenty yards. All of the Salem players did espe cially we!l. considering the size of their opponents, "but the stars were Bcan. C'atlin, Hughes, Rhodes and Ru- II f son. i-! -'-.:-: '': ' ;; ; ." -. Th way our center (Rulifaon) be Id his 175-pound opponent how that h only needs the weight and age to make a center good enough for any team. Hu hm and Rhodes tyth got in on several "grand stand plays, ' but the ones who played half of Salem's game were Bean and Catlin. Time and again they would break ' up Mon mouth's heavy Interference and pull down the man with the ball, v .-1 i About seven or eight minutes before t be end of the : last hal f, Bean, . with both eyes swollen nearly shut, and so sick and weak that he could not Walk alone, was led from th field.; At this time Monmouth bad made ntiit 45 nolnts. Bean was followed'f by Catlln,.who, after being lei to the gymnaeiom. was completely "done up. In the remaining six or seven minutes Monmouth had some 45 points. v 4 Catterlln Salem's captain) played ap excellent game at right tackle ; in , BeUe's place for a, few minutes, but j waa compelled to stand out on account j of a minor ipjury. lie also piayea iuu the last' few minutes of the game. 1 Monmouth played clean ball from start to finlshj and nobody received any very serloua injuries on either team. ' .' .. , ' The Salem boys were visitors at the formal School Society In the evening.. and after an; enjoyaoie aay siarieu home, at about 1 o'clock. i When they 'were about half-mile this side of Independence, the hack, driven by Charles Ramp, npset over an eight or ten foot grade. - Things looked, or rather seemed, serious, for a few seconds, because two or three of the occupants, as 'well as one horse, were pinned to the ground by the overturn ed hack, i The' horse made such a ter rific struggle that he partially raised the hack -from, the ground, and the boys thus liberated clambered under a barb wire fence and out of danger. The other, rigs came up from behind In a minute or two, and a lantern was procured at a nearby house, and the horse was stripped of his harness and liberated. ; None of the occupants of the rig were seriously injured, and the entire party got In the other rigs and on the horses of the upset rig, and put back to Independence, to return next .day, when the road could be seen. The crowd hired another rig in Indepen dence and returned to Salem Sunday, and with the exception of $10 or $12 on the hack, were little the worse off for the accident. ' . The occupants of the overturned hack. were Ramp (driver), Paul Miller, Teddy Burton, Warren Hunt and pa vid Hanshaw. " ' . It seems almost impossible that a loaded rig could upset over such a place, and fall on some of the occu pants, without breaking any limbs, but it must be remembered that these boys were football players.
