line. The final score deciding the game came late in the fourth quarter: it was a touchdown by Benedict from the one yard line, ending a determined drive down the field and climaxing a hard fought game between two square fighting teams Whose rivalry is not bitter but earnest. Not a substitution was made by either side during the entire game. A touchdown in the last minute of play broke a seven to seven tie and gave Monroe a 13 to 7 victory. SIEIUDNID TIEAIVII l The record of the second team does' not fairly show all the hard work and effort the boys have put forth. They have worked diligently all season, but every game they entered was on a soggy field that gave them no chance to show their passing attack and end runs. All through the season they have shown the pluck and fight characteristic of all Monroe teams. We hope they show the same spirit next year and feel sure they will have a much better record. The boys have been coached all season by Coach Sisco, whose fine work will do much to make a better team next year. Those who will receive their R's are: Chason, Stein, Jones, Hall, Moose- man, Phillips, Brodie, Beck, Meyer, Gaynier, Dull, Winkworth, Maul, Renner, Kehrer, Hoffmas, Gruber, and Lazette. The first game was played at the South Monroe Townsite on October l0. with the Wyandotte Reserves. Two punts of Monroe were blocked by their own players and several mistakes were made but that was to be expected in the first game. Two complete teams were used and both showed up to advantage. Wyandotte made the only score in an off-tackle play from the I2 yard line. Monroe went to Wyandotte on October 24 for a return engagement with the Wyandotte Reserves. The game was played on a muddy field and many fumbles were made by both teams. The game ended in a scoreless tie. On November 14 the River Rouge Reserves came to Monroe and played at Greening's Subdivision amidst mud and a continued slow drizzle. Neither side scored until the last three minutes of play when Monroe slipped and River Rouge carried the ball over for a lone touchdown.
