A Punting Game. Kewanee came to Toulon and fought a hard game but were over- come by the Toulon gridders who un- doubtedly remembered the 14-12 vic- tory for Kewanee last year. There were no scores until the sec- ond quarter when Montgomery at- tempted to drop-kick a field goal, which was blocked, and the ball was recovered by C. Whittaker who car- ried it 20 yards for a touchdown. The attempt for goal failed. In the third quarter C. Whittaker made a 25 yard drop kick. In the fourth quarter Kewanee tried to play a passing game, but only once were they successful in completing a pass. During one of their attempts, Foglesong intercepted a pass and ran 32 yards for a touchdown. C. Whit- taker kicked goal. Soon after this Fell intercepted another pass on Ke- wanee's 38 yard line and carried it within one yard of the line, which he then took over on an off tackle drive. Whittaker again kicked goal. During this game it seemed to be a regular punting duel, between Fogle- song and Yanuskus, in which Fogle- song got the better of the contest. V C. Whittaker. GENESEO AT GENESEO. ' 12-2. ' Toulon Wins Muddy Victory Over Geneseo. The ball was played in Geneseo's territory a greater portion of the game, with the exception of the first quarter when they held Fluie for a safety in an attempt to punt. In the second quarter, Toulon, af- ter blocking two of Geneseo's punts, recovered the ball and carried it for a touchdown. The attempt for goal was blocked. In the third quarter Fell made a 15 yard run off tackle which brought another score. In the fourth quarter many subs were put in the game and again the ball was carried within one foot of the line when the whistle blew. LeRoy Whittaker. CAMBRIDGE AT CAMBRIDGE. 0-0. Toulon went to Cambridge expect- ing to overwhelm their opponents. Cambridge had a light, fast team, but they held remarkably well. It dis- heartened the team a little to lose C. Whittaker and C. Smith for this game, owing to ineligibility. In the first quarter Toulon kicked off to Cambridge, who after being held for downs, punted. Later Toulon was also forced to do the same. Tou- lon received a 5 yard penalty for off side. During the second quarter Cam- bridge was successful with an 11 yard pass and a 13 yard run. In the third quarter Cambridge tried a 30 yard drop-kick, but it was blocked. Heaton starred in the fourth quar- ter by making two end runs for first downs, one being a 12 yard, and the other a 21 yard run. Cole also re- ceived a 15 yard pass from Foglesong. Foglesong also attempted a place kick which fell short. The game end- ed with the score O-0. C. Whittaker.

NOVEMBER, NINETEEN TWENTY-FIVE BUREAU TOWNSHIP AT TOULON. 25-12. Toulon opened the grid season with Bureau Township High School. The game resulted in a victory for T. H. S. Fell, Stover and Foglesong piled up the score for Toulon, Fell and Stover making a touchdown each, while Foglesong carried the ball over the chalk mark twice. Foglesong also drop-kicked goal after his later touchdown. TOULON SWAMPS ELMWOOD. 22-0. Toulon staged a comeback after their poor showing at Cambridge and downed the fast eleven from Elmwood on a muddy field. The game was won by forward passes and fake plays, Heaton carrying the ball over for the first counter in the middle of the third quarter on an unexpected criss- cross. Toulon's other touchdowns came as a result of' passes from Foglesong to C. Whittaker. C. Whittaker kicked goal after the second touchdown and Foglesong kicked a placement after the third. The other two points were secured by means of a safety. BRADFORD WALLOPS TOULON. 20-0. Toulon's warriors went down to de- feat, the first time in the season, to Bradford on Armistice day, Novem- ber 11. Early in the game Bradford's right end scooped up a fumble on Bradford's three yard line and sprint- ed for a touchdown. Toulon threatened to score several times but fumbles prevented their touchdowns. Bradford's other counters came in the second quarter, a criss-cross by Terwilliger, and in the third quarter by Shaw on a line plunge. In this game Toulon was completely 15 outclassed both on offense and de- fense, Shaw and Terwilliger being the outstanding stars of the game. TOULON DOWNS AVERYVILLE. 12-6. Going to Averyville as one of the best teams in Central Illinois, Toulon upheld this name by defeating Avery- ville 12-6. The first counter came as the re- sult of a criss-cross by Heaton in the first quarter. Toulon's team was held scoreless in the second quarter, the ball being in Toulon's possession the greater share of the time. The second touchdown was made by Fell, the result of an off-tackle play. This touchdown came after a stiff defense was put against Toulon the third quarter. But Toulon could not be completely stopped. Averyville's -counter also came in the third quarter as a result of a criss-cross play by Steiner of Avery- ville. The fourth quarter was opened by a swift aerial attack on the part of Averyville but Toulon's defense made nearly every pass' incomplete. Tou- lon gained the ball and held it for the rest of the quarter. l...l...l- TOULON NIPS GALVA. 6-0. Toulon completed her 1925 grid season with a 6 to 0 win over her tra- ditional Thanksgiving Day rival, Gal- va High School. The game was a hard fought contest thruout. Tou- lon's score was made on the first play in the second quarter when a criss- cross from Stover to H. Heaton al- lowed the latter to break away for a 10-yard run and a touchdown. Both teams threatened to score later in the game. Several hundred Toulon rooters and the Boys' Band accom- panied the Toulon team. This was the last game for six members of the football squad. A
