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.

. I I ' ELINGti. Hi Miss Kruce was happily surprised Friday by having a cousin, Thomas McCollough, of Keokuk, pay her a visit. Duncan Moore and Fred McMillan were cleverly entertained by a couple of their lady friends on the evening - of Nov. 15. Messrs. Schall, Bard, Johnson and McCaughey assisted in the song ser- vice at the Y. M. C. A. last Sabbath afternoon. Miss Ann Wallace was the first girl in college to skate this year. She says she enjoyed herself and made fun for the other girls. The effect of J. T. Millers coaching at Canton was shown in the recent game between Canton and Havana, as Canton won SO to 0. Some of the boys went snipe hunt- ing last Monday evening after prayer meeting and left their game out of town a little distance. Messrs. Robert Dunbar and Earl Soule gave a stag banquet to some of their college friends at the home of the former on Nov. 24. R. S. Phelps sprained his ankle bad- ly the day Knox played foot ball here, but he recovered speedily and went to Tarkio with the team. Livingstone says there are not nights enough in the week for him to make his calls, so he has to make part of them in the daytime. .Tim McCraeken is grub-hustler for Sanspareil this month. To any of the girls who are interested we can say that .Jim is a good provider. John Brown, a former student of the college, and his mother opened their spacious residence to a large company of friends. Nov. 23. Rev. Renvvick, finincial agent for Monmouth College gave us a pleasant call one day. last week, and spoke very hig-hly of a business education. Some one has told that W. M. Lori- mer would rather visit God ' s half acre and decipher ancient epitaphs than call upon pious young ladies. Wm. J. Pinkerton bought Eiireka ' s Thanksgiving turkey and will provide for the temporal wants of the club during the remainder of the term. Miss Mabel Sykes. a student of the M. B. C, gave a party one evening last week, a number of the students were present and report a pleasant time. Miss Lillian Richardson received an invitation while at the Knox foot ball game to blow her tin horn after the game. We wonder if she accepted. The Misses Samson, Dow. Wallace. S. F. Graham, T. M. Graham and Richardson enjoyed skating Friday night, Nov. 23. Ask them about it. A few of the boys of the foot ball team had some experience with a phonograph and some of the fair la- dies, as well as on the foot ball field. Where did we get those hats, Where did we get those tiles? Were they not the nobby shape, Just the proper style? — Lorimer and Smith. The turkeys made their annual visit to chapel about ten days before Thanksgiving, and some one had the audacity to bring a poor, lost, old hen on Wednesday. Mr. Harry Webb very kindly enter- tained a company of his friends Nov. 13. From the arrival to the departure of the guests it was a continuous round of enjoyment. The Misses Warnoek. Richardson. Dow. Eva Smith and Messrs. F. D. Smith. Lorimer, L. E. Wallace and R. Graham drove across to see t,he foot ball g-ame with Knox. Nov. 23.
