The battle was fought by our local high school team and Humes-ton’s undefeated squad. Humeston showed a very good team, which has defeated several of the larger schools that have beaten Moulton previously. So, by all indications it looked as if Moutlon was to lose by a large margin. But, a surprise was cast over the spectators, when Moulton held their opponents to a 8 to 0 score. The Moulton boys played a very nice game, holding their rivals to a 0 to 0 tie at the half. The fourth period Humeston scored two points by a safety. That is, a Moulton player was tackled behind his own goal line. The last quarter they scored a touchdown by a lucky pass.Due to the fact that Moulton did not control the ball as much this game as they did the last game the backfield’s average was not as good as before, but the line made up for that by showing very good blocking and holding the line plunges made by Humeston.The Moulton line-up follows: q. b., Clinton Spurgeon; f. b., Junior Stansberry; r. h., Marvin Rogers; 1. h., Francis Davis; r. e., Aubrey Kriegermeier; 1. e., Jack Lee; r. t-George Singley; 1. t., George Ballew; g., William Starr; 1. g., Charlesen-induitas-yeta-th-ced;tteinginderstoim-lcktim:fleorsm-acea-Llg-iogledbelowFischel; c., Clinton Rutliff.

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 none too easy, for we have absolutely nothing to tie it up with. It is entirely new to all of us. But we learn something every day and some time hope to be able to write it fluently and with a fair amount of speed.A1The ber tl nesda; school and lc Bet very part. . tough; sensit Dewe; Rober was pi ial ca by thi were Ellen ' Doris ton as Dorotl Rober Israel Mildr-Rilla derwo of me succec Swart Steele and \ very c vis, di Rober ther. i erts, i devot Louisi maidsf leu it:out tleitherleachtPriceKlineattractremeboy,WaybwaysportuiFUSthedu-thetheingght.po-Dneionsi.rity too-ters lec-e is the that ect-lard lingThird QuarterAs the ball game opened, Humeston kicked to Moulton. The ball was received, returned to the 25 yard line, and from there the long and exciting game was started. Several plays were made but not much gain. Punts were exchanged several times, and the ball was moved up and down the field. Moulton drove the visitors back into their own territory by punts, but the ball was returned to Moulton’s 10 yard line, where it was forfeited to Moulton on the fourth down. So, as it happens in every ball game the first quarter ends. The boys get a drink (it was a pretty hot day), rest as much as possible, and get ready to continue the fight to win the ball game.The ref” yells, Come on boys, let’s fight her out!” Ready and ripping, the boys start out. Moulton was in hot water, so they punted out of their own territory. Holding the opponents to no gain, they punted back to Moulton on the 15 yard line. Advancing back to the 40 yard line, Moulton kicked trying to drive their rivals far back into their own territory, but they made a long run returning the ball to midfield. A pass was attempted, but intercepted by George Ballew, and run back into the visitor’s territory. Moulton passed, and it was Intercepted by Humeston. 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.Typing—There really is not much to report for the typing class. Our work is steadily going forward, and we are attaining a degree of accuracy and speed. The one leading the class is Robert Newcomer. He has passed Lesson 24. Friday we cleaned the machines and noticed an improvement in the way they worked.Advanced Science—We have been studying steam engines, and how Hie primitive men in olden times divided the work between themselves and the machine. Now the division is more complete than ever before. We do almost nothing that a machine would not do for us. Also we have been studying the steam turbine, and how it works to transform the energy of steam into the energy for motion. In connection with this we learned that there were^ three kinds of boilers: water tube, Scotch and fire tube.Farm Management—Last week we studied or rather figured out how much corn a mechanical .corn picker would leave in the field. We arrived at the figure of 2 1-2 bushels per acre. This means that a mechanical picker is not superior to the hand picking method except for speed. This comes under our general heading for the study of corn.I w part coope assist expre aid J princTh.sente24th.Ch;BacCle Cai Ch; Fiv Joan ette ‘ Th Floyc Shobt Fi\ Oldhs Dona Tl the c Hi FlaIOW.the. cid-I’ve id I due ion. the that of lere om-We our /hat He tion,eive six A’s. andhose and eory vays pore The who t re-arley 'ancee are e forScoringFor 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 MoultonPublic Speaking—We finished the unit in debating Monday. The affirmative side seemed to be able to present the greater amount of evidence.We are beginning work in dramatics. In this unit we start with pan-tomine, we are pantomlning a play without speaking words. This is to enable us to make our actions speak.In Speech we are also keeping a notebook of class work and speeches, original and speech notes. Keeping a speech notebook is beneficial in that it adds to our knowledge by watching other’s mistakes as well as being a good pasttime.player tried to tackle him, missed, and the result was that a sad story was enacted—8 to 0 was the title of the gloomy tale.• Moulton received the ball on the kickoff, and began to advance down the field trying desperately to score. They lost the ball on fourth downs. One minute to play. Humeston took the ball, but Moulton held them. Blooie!!! The gun ended the game.This was the best game Moulton has played the whole year. Moulton was playing a very fine team, which played a good game.Moulton’s most outstanding player, Friday, was George Ballew. George did his part on the line, on defense. Neither did I see a ball carrier of Humeston, go by George. They went to him and from him to the ground. He intercepted a pass which could have meant a touchdown for the visitors, if he had not caught it. Jack Lee caught a nice pass thrown by Francis Davis. Junior Stansberry, Clinton Spurgeon and Marvin Rogers, backfielders, also played a good game.Friday, Moulton plays Seymour. Come out and see a really good game. Our team is getting better with each game.To: the It read: Spoo ware a gi turns edy. carte greal and 1 A agair Satui Elvii Gra quite tain Co Suna a m; scant terri: Duni scree supp Patr whei bridlt; whei fromit, tgood even hunt Fc men nigh so y and the Tht prist hit, levj roff A will ball reel ing che .
