IOULTON HOLDS HUMESTON TO SMALLER SCORE THAN EXPECTEDBy Howard McCallWell, apother Friday afternoon as passed, and Moulton has met on le gridiron with another football ;am. The battle was fought by our cal high school team and Humes-rn’s undefeated squad. Humeston aowed a very good team, which as defeated several of the larger :hools that have beaten Moulton reviously. So, by all indications it joked as if Moutlon was to lose by large margin. But, a surprise was ist over the spectators, when Moulin held their opponents to a 8 to score. The Moulton boys played a ery nice game, holding their rivals j a 0 to 0 tie at the half. The fourth eriod Humeston scored two points y a safety. That is, a Moulton play-r was tackled behind his own goal ne. The last quarter they scored touchdown by a lucky pass.Due to the fact that Moulton did ot control the ball as much this ame as they did the last game the ackfield’s average was not as good s before, but the line made up for lat by showing very good block-lg and holding the line plunges lade by Humeston.The Moulton line-up follows: q. b., linton Spurgeon; 1. b„ Junior tansberry; r. h., Marvin Rogers; 1.., Francis Davis; r. e., Aubrey Lriegermeier; 1. e., Jack Lee; r. t.. eorge Singley; 1. t., George Ballew;g., William Starr; 1. g., Charles ischel; c., Clinton Rutliff. Substitu-;s: Max Tharp, Richard Southern, irris Starr, William Swartz, Orin tarr, Bob Southern.Yards gained by ball carriers in he game—Junior Stansberry*, 20; jeorge Ballew, 17; Jack Lee, 15; larvin Rogers, ,11; Clinton Spur-con, 8; Richard Southern, 6.All of the yards gained except iallew’s and Lee’s were made while loulton controlled the ball. George’s ardage was gained when he inter-epted a Humeston pass. Jack’s yard-ge was made when Francis Davis Dssed him a neat pass for a first and cn.First downs, M., 1; H., 9. .Yards [ained by rushing, M., 63; H., 188. fards gained by passes, M., 33; H.,0. Passes attempted, M., 6; H., 13. ’asses completed, M., 1; H., 6. Pass-s intercepted, M., 1; H., 1. Penal-ies, M., 0; H., 15.Scoreless Tie At The End Of TheThird QuarterAs the ball game opened, Humes-an kicked to Moulton. The ball was eceived, returned to the 25 yard ine, and from there the long and xciting game was started. Several ilays were made but not much ain. Punts were exchanged several imes, and the ball was moved up nd down the field. Moulton drove he visitors back into their own ter-itory by punts, but the ball was eturned to Moulton’s 10 yard line, /here it was forfeited to Moulton m the fourth down. So, as it hap-ens in every ball game the first (uarter ends. The boys get a drink it was a pretty hot day), rest as nuch as possible, and get ready to ontinue the fight to win the ball ;ame.The “ref” yells, “Come on boys, et’s fight her out!” Ready and rip-jing, the boys start out. Moulton vas in hot water, so they punted »ut of their own territory. Holding he opponents to no gain, they punted back to Moulton on the 15 yard ine. Advancing back to the 40 yard ine, Moulton kicked trying to drive heir rivals far back into their own erritory, but they made a long run returning the ball to midfield. A jass was attempted, but intercepted cy George Ballew, and run back nto the visitor’s territory. Moulton passed, and it was Intercepted by flumeston. Moulton held them to no gain. The gun went off, bang, and the half ended. All of Moulton’s spectators were very well pleased to see the high school boys hold the powerful team to a scoreless tie at the end of the period.ScoringFor some of those who had not even seen a football game before, might have thought it was a double feature, but it wasn’t—the second half had started. Tne entire third quarter Moulton played a defensive game, because they did not have the ball once. Humeston received the ball on the 8 yard line and when the quarter ended, the ball was given to Moulton on the fourth down, on their own 4 yard line.The fourth quarter had excitement to spare. Humeston was not holding out on us because both scores were lucky. They did not turn on the pressure, because it was on all the time, and Moulton’s pressure had been equal to theirs. Old man luck must have been flying over and saw the undefeated team getting beat by a much weaker team and gave them a boost in the pants.On the first play, Moulton was on their own 4 yard line. They tried an end run, fumbled, a Moulton man recovered and was tackled behind his own goal line. The chance to score was bright for Moulton and Humeston had only a 2 to 0 lead. Moulton kicked to the visitors, and held them back, until the ball was forfeited to Moulton on the fourth down. Moulton punted back into Humeston’s grounds, and the ball lay on their 36 yard-line. On the following play, they passed a short flat pass which was blocked by a Moulton boy. The ball went high into the air, lit in the arms of a Humeston player, who turned around and started toward his goal. A MoultonNEWS FROM THE CLASSESEnglish 3 and 4—We had “The Renaissance,” the “Reformation and Humanism.” We also studied English Literature during the Renaissance. One of the most interesting studies was that of the London Theatres of Shakespeares Day and The Shakespearean Drama.Economics—We have been studying the use of credit as an instrument of exchange. We have studied the use of checks and other private banking practices. Our credit study has included: The nature of credit. The basis and kinds of credit. We have also studied about the disadvantages of the use of credit and credit instruments. Finally we have studied the meaning of frozen credit and the function of the U. S. Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Our next study is to be the practices of Commercial Banking and its meaning.Bookkeeping—Some of us had progressed into special journals by the .end of last week. We are steadily going forward into the text. The ones farthest ahead is Rex Murdy who hopes to start the second set sometime next week.Secretarial Training—In Sec. Tr. class we have been taking shorthand dictation and transcribing it on the typewriter. We also have been doing some hectograph and mimeograph work.Shorthand—In shorthand we have been studying the different means for getting more speed. These include the use of special formation of the shorthand characters include the reverse writing of the circle vowels to indicate the use of ar, or and er. If the circle takes the form of a loop it indicates the suffixes illy, ally. If the loop is reversed it indicates the ar is plural at the end of straight strokes.We are finding shorthand nons too easy, for we have absolutely nothing to tie it up with. It is entirely new to all of us. But we learr something every day and some time hope to be able to write it fluently and with a fair amount of speed.Typing—There really is not much to repor for the typing class. Our work : steadily going forward, and we ar attaining a degree of accuracy anlt; speed. The one leading the class i Robert Newcomer. He has passe; Lesson 24.

We do almos nothing that a machine would no do for us. Also we have been study ing the steam turbine, and how i works to transform the energy o steam into the energy for motion. Ir connection with this we learnec that there were^ three kinds of boil ers: water tube, Scotch and fire tubeFarm Management—Last week we studied or rathe figured out how much corn a mech anical ,corn picker would leave ii the field. We arrived at the figur of 2 1-2 bushels per acre. This mean that a mechanical picker is not sup erior to the hand picking method ex cept for speed. This comes under ou general heading for the study c corn.Public Speaking—We finished the unit in debatin Monday.
