MARTINVILLE HI DEFEATED BY ST. CHARLES BOYS Visitors Get Small End of Big Football Game in the Col lege Town DECISIVE SCORE FOR THE VICTORS Louisiana State Normal Team Next Team to. Attempt to Defeat the Collegians In a slow and slippery game,caused by the bad weather conditions, St. Charles College defeated the St. Mar tinville high school team last Sunday by a score of 22 to nothing. Rain had been falling for two days before the game and continued to pour down during the entire four quar ters, thus slowing up the play and making everything almost a mere matter of chance. The field was muddy and in many places covered with water; büt both teams were game for a fight and took the field at the scheduled time. St. Mart in ville won the toss and chose the eastern goal. Simon received the kick-off and advanced thirty yards before he was downed. His broken field running was a feature of the game throughout the four quarters. St. Martinville gained first down, and got dangerously near the goal line when an unfortunate fumble gave the ball to the college eleven. The Red-and-Greens then advanced the ball for two first downs, but fi nally were thrown for a loss of eleven yards, resulting from attempts at end runs that proved failures owing to the muddy condition of the fipld. A series of fumbles on both sides fol lowed, with the college team getting the edge on advancing and as the first quartet was nearing the close they made an attempt at a goal from field. This proved successful and the score was 3-0. ' The second quarter ran aalmost as the first, St. Charles team managing to score a touchdown after securing the ball on a fumble made by St. Martinville: Capt. Smith kicked the goal, thus raising the score to 10-0. The remainder of this quarter showed up the failure of several good plays on both sides, owing to the fact that the men could not get started prop erly nor could they stay on tbe'r fee.t even when they had an open f ield be fore them. A heavy rain was falling and slow playing was in order. For ward passes were out of the question and both teams resorted to c jc 1 mg. In the third quarter St. Martinville was evidently weakening but every man was game and fought his hardest to hold the college men for downs. Several times they got possession of the ball and did some fine work with the back-field combination of Simon, Fournet and the two Guidrys. Rich ard at tackle also showed up very well in this and the following quarter. St. Charles managed to score once in the third quarter on a run made down the edge of the filed which was suc cessful only because the two St. Mar tinville men who were trying to get the runner slipped and fell before they got even in reaching distance of him. No goal was kicked. By the consent of the two captains, the last quarter was shortened to eight minutes because of the heavy rain that was falling. The ball was fumbled time and again, and runs went for losses and forward passes were never reached by the men who were out to get them. St. Martinville lost ground constantly and then won the ball on a fumble but lost it again on a fumble. St. Charles advanced the ball near the goal line, fumbled, tried to recover the ball and fumbled again. • St. Martinville tried to get the pigskin and in so attempting, drove it behind the goal line where a St. Charles man fell on the ball and scored the last touchdown of the game. No goal was kicked. The one redeeming feature of the game was the absolute cleanness of play throughout the game. Only three penalties were imposed and these were the result of violations of rules caused by the bad condition of the field. The St. Martinville men fought their hardest to the last whistle,keep ing the college men constantly on "their pins." On Thursday St. Charles will be gin its inter-collegiate season by a game with the State Normal, in Nat chitoches. A large amount of inter est is being taken in this game, as it will be a first indication as to the probable champions of the season. Normal lost last Saturday to Louisi ana College and if they win from St. Charles, things will be very interest ing for the rest of the season. Grand Coteau Notes Grand Coteau, La., Oct, 15.—Rev.
