Ravenna Bojrs
Very Sore
Last week the Ravenna football
gladiators came over to Loup City ex
pecting to eat up our boys just as an
easy pastime. The fact that our
boys held them down to an' even
| score made them so sore that they
went home and made our innocent;
friend. Bro. Cass, of the Xews believe I
I that the score stood t> to 0 in their i
favor, and that the game was only a
sclioolboy affair after all. The referee
and all exponents of the national'
game agree that the score stood 6 to 6. j
so what's the use of the Ravenna boys!
using the truth so sparingly. Here
is what the cry-babies made Bro
Cass say:
"A iiastily organized squad of foot
: ball players went to Loup .City last
week, to engage the Loup City team,
and won the game by a 6-0 score.
The game was something of a joke
for the reason that tbe Ravenna tew
had never before played together,
some of the players had never played
the game, and for the further reason
that the Loup City warriors instantly
caught on to the ancient code of sig
nals used by Ravenna. The boys had
good time, however, although some
of them were tin subjects for the
hospital by the time Loup City got
i through with them.’’
And that tlie game was no scbool
[ boy affair, the following excerpt from
i the News proves conclusively, or on
the contrary proves their great fistic
gladiator McCarthy, whom they claim
the greatest "whit* hope-’ in the
state, can be easily disheartened by
| even a pack of school-boys:
"Tom McCarthy, the gladiator of
i numerous prize ring contests, passing
through sucj ordeals with no injulr
whatever, sustained a dislocated
shoulder and numerous other bruises
and contusions in the school-boys’
game of football, at Loup City, last
week. He declares that in future he
will prefer to devote himself exclusive
ly to comparatively harmless sport in
the.roped arena, rather than cm the
gridiron.■’
