EAVELINGS. Miller, the captain, played as he never played before. When he made a tackle he never failed to bring down his man. Again and again he broke through the interference and his line bucking was wonderful. • Campbell did excellent work in his position as rig ' ht tackle. He runs the lowest of any man in the team. A great deal of credit is due to him for Monmouth ' s touch down, as he secured the ball in a brilliant rush when it was fumbled by the opposing team. Beitel. the running half back, showed his bucking qualities, as run- ning around the end was almost im- possible. He did some excellent work in breaking the interference, and sev- eral times advanced the ball for good gains. Our boys came out of the game in fine shape and ready for the games with Tarkio and Amity. Rush did not fare so well. One of their 220 pound men had to be helped off the field the first time Miller charged through their line. The average weight of the Rush team, as given by one of their players. is 1S4 lbs. That of Monmouth 166 lbs.. the Rush team averaging 18 lbs. heav- ier. When this difference in weight is considered, remembering that Rush ' s men are all old. experienced players. the wonder is that Monmouth was ev- er permitted to score. It was a defeat that has all the effects of victory. Monmouth has a strong team and one of which she is justly proud. Monmouth College aggregation of foot ball players started on a trip west Nov.. 30th. They will play Tarkio College at Tarkio Missouri Dec. 1st and Amity College of College Springs. Iowa at Clarinda, Iowa Dec, 3rd. An account of their trip will appear in the next number of the Ravelings. ALUMNI. ' 92 J. H.
