Carmel. Cully's eleven-cylinder imachlne tore through the Mt. Car¬ mel entry like a knife throngh a London fog and dragged it ali ovar the field for many dozens of yarda before being halted by a couple of stop watches and a platoon of whis¬ tles on the titty yard line.
Mt. Carmel made ftrst dowa only a few times and never would have made It If the home gang had Unded (o business In a little belter shape. The   visitors   reached,   but   did   not

MBRRIB MATRONS
Mrj. A. L. Carn?y delightfully en¬ tertained the members of tht Merrie Tiiatrons Club at tier home ou l^it B'ou.Ill atroet, November ,lRt. A pleasant atternooQ of coaveioutton and needle won- was sp«at. Tnu season of Hallowe'en was observed in decorations of black cats, bats, etc Beautiful yellow ckryaatilihemums were Ubcd effectively.

AT  LIBRARY   HALL,   NOV   17
^     ,_, . J ,,       ^ .      ,       , senden of Clay City. Others present:
pass the thirty yard line, being fore-, jj^ Ferdinand Tonney. Mrs. Earl ed to boot the ball dov:i the field Arbuthnot, Mrs. Rex Cunningham, with only small gains. ji,,  jjarl 'Taylor, Mrs. F. L. Brissen
Renfor'a suprerlor kicking showed to good effect in this game, averaging perhaps forty-five yards to the sock. Mt. Ctrmel's kicking was tbe poor¬ est seen here this year. Several o:: their punts only went forward tea or fifteen yards and two did not cTOiin the line of scrimmage. Their kick¬ er would do about as well to go at It orawfsb fashion and kick backwards.
Mt. Carmel showed a classy pair of ends aud a backfleld man, SUIwell, who certainly was the hyena's giggle. This last mentioned man is a likely candidate for hulf back on the atl- sectlonal team, his running with tho ball, tackling and ail around play be¬ ing the equal of anything seen here to date.
Ned"   Venable   played   his   usual classy game, gaining a total of 193* yards,  probably  more  than  th* en¬ tire Ht.  Carmel  team  made  in  tho whole game.
Renfro, who started a Uttle late, played his usual game both oftensive- yl and defensively. Had he been given as mucb interference as there is stretch In a pair of nlckle suspen¬ ders he would havei made a toUl of about a million yarda.
Flora's line took a daf off Satur¬ day, putting on about the punkest exhibition they have sUged this year in some respects.
Features of the game were a for¬ ward pass pulled by Mt. Carmel at tbe start of the second half on a play whch Rip Van Winkle learned from tbe dutchmen In the CaUkill moun¬ tains—tbe old camper-on-the-Blde- llp«s play. The man who receivod the pass galloped fifty yards down the fleld before "Ned" finally cor¬ ralled him. This was the oue play of ihe year which sent flutters of "will he or won't he?" up and down the spine of ye scribe. We thought for a minute the Flora goal line would be crossed but Venable pulled tbe Horatius at the bridge stunt and the day was saved. Venable pullod off several    30-yard    dashes
