The dis- pute was caused by several unfair decisions by the Milton referee. The Quincy High School refused to be robbed of a chance to win the game, and left the field. Our team lined up as follows: 0. Magnuson, r. e.; Pendis, r. t.; Marnock (McDon- nell ) r. g.; McDonald, c.; Wales, 1. g.; Dorley, 1. t.; Barry, 1. e.; Foss, q. b.; C.

Friday, Oct. 29, we defeated the Ilingham High School in a hard game. We had the best of it ail the way through, and won easily. The game was made most uninteresting by the frequent delays caused by disputes, and injuries to the players. Our team was rested from the hard games of the preceding weeks, and played better than in any other game this season. A few changes in the positions improved the effectiveness of the team play. The line-up of the Quincy team was as follows: Wales, r. e.; Pendis, (Dorley) r. t. Marnock, r. g.; McDonald c.; Lewis, 1. g.; Ford, 1. t.; Briggs, 1. e.; Foss, q. b.; Magnuson, r. h. b.; Barry, 1. h. b.; Scharnagel, f. b. Touchdowns—Magnuson, 2, Wales. Goals—Magnuson, 3.

THE GOLDEN-ROD. stairs, while Papa’s was farther clown in the hall. As I came clown the stairs I saw in the little linen closet at the end of the hall, that man, bending over a pile of sheets, with his back to the door. I saw this by the gas jet burning dimly. Without thinking whether the man might turn around and see me coming, or what might happen, the thought came to me that I might catch this burglar, so moving for- ward cpiickly I slammed the door and turned the key. The bird was caged. I had no sooner gotten the door closed when a series of screams broke forth, and to my amazement I recognized my brother’s voice. I opened the door as quickly as possible, and found my brother had turned around. lie had a much ruffled expression upon his counte- nance, and was very indignant at being shut up. As he said after- ward, he didn’t fancy sleeping in that place at the risk of being smothered. Mamma, hearing Jack’s yell, came into the hall and found us two stand- ing there, I with my hand on the knob, and Jack standing just inside the door. She looked from one to the other for an explanation, and finally turn- ing to Jack, asked him why he was not with Papa. He explained that while they were at the office Papa received a telegram saying that Grandpa was sick, and Grandma wanted him to come home at once. Papa thought that Jack had better come back home, and let him go alone. Jack saw Papa off on the train, and then met a friend of his, with whom he talked until he missed his train, and he had to wait for a late one. Finding the house all dark, he thought we must be in bed. Not wishing to wake us up he said he tried to get in without any noise. He tried the front door almost un- consciously, then remembered the window in Papa’s room. After going to his room he found his bed minus bedding, and had gone to the linen closet for sheets etc., when I put an end to his hunt. Then my turn came, and I ex- plained my taking him for a burg- lar and shutting him up. I never could understand why I did not recognize him, but I suppose that fright and imagination did the mischief. That is the way I caught a burg- lar. Nan E. Woy, 1900.

THE GOLDEN-ROD. niGH, 18; WEYMOUTH, 0 IVith a crippled team, the Quincy High school easily defeated the Wey- mouth North High school Wednesday at Merry Mount park. In the first half Quincy played poorly and fumbled repeatedly. Weymouth played slowly and wasted time as much as possible. The play was wholly in the territory of Weymouth, but Quincy was unable to score at all. In the second half Quincy played much better. They kicked off and held Weymouth for downs in the centre of the field. On the first rush C. Magnuson cot around the end and ran 50 yards for a touchdown. A moment later he kicked the goal. Weymouth kicked off and Quincy soon worked the ball up the field for a second touchdown. Magnuson kicked the goal. It was getting dark and Wey- mouth delayed the game as much as possible. Finally they kicked off and good rushes brought the ball back to the 25-yard line. Here Quincy lost it on a fumble, but recovered it a minute later on downs. A criss-cross brought the ball to the 5-yard line, and Mar- nock went over the line for a touch- down. Magnuson kicked the goal. This ended the scoring, and when time was called Quincy had the ball in the centre of the field. Marnock and McDonald played the best game in the line for Quincy, and all the backs played well. Drown did the best work for Weymouth. In the first rush of the second half, Pendis, the Quincy fullback, broke his leg. He will be unable to play again this year. He is an ex- ceedingly fine player and will be greatly missed. The line up: QUINCY HIGH. O.
