PINE VILLAGE WINNER AGAIN Defeats Hammond Clabbys at Lafayette Sunday 3’ to 0. The much talked of football game between the Pine Village team and the Hammond Clabbys was played at Lafayette Sunday afternoon and resulted in a victory for the village team by the score of 3 to 0. It was one of the best football games seen in northwestern Indiana for many years. Throughout the first three quarters of the game the ♦wo teams surged back and forth along the field, neither side being able to score. The village team, was much the heavier of the two, but the plucky Clabbys held them for downs three times. There remained but two minutes and eleven seconds of the last quarter to play when Dick King of Harvard, former all-American man, caught a perfect pass from the Pine Village center and booted the ball from the ‘ twenty-two yard line squarely between the goal posts for the only points made in the game. The game was witnessed by several thousand people, several from Rensselaer going on the special train arranged for the occasion. There was quite a little betting on the game, the odds throughout being in favor- of the villagers. It was reported that Charlfes IT. Preston, owner of the Honticello Herald, put up SSOO against S2OO with James Clabby, Jr., that Hammond would be defeated. • The prevailing odds were ten to eight in favor of Pine Village.

FOREIGNER VISITS KENTLAND

English Breeder of Note Visits McCray Stock Farm. W. G. C. Britten of Hereford, England, was a guest of Warren T. McCray last Saturday. Mr. Britten is secretary of the Hereford Herd Society of Great Britain, and this is his first visit to the United States. Since his arrival in this country, on October 2, he has visited practically every -large Hereford herd in the States. In an interview following his inspection of Orchard Lake Stock farm, he said: "Mr. McCray’s'farm is by far the finest of the kind 1 have seen in this country. The buildings and equipment, the Entire arrangement, surpasses anything I have seen in my travels, and, of course, we have nothing like it in Great Britain. Many of the buildings on our largl est farms are 200 to 300 years old, and have been added to in a higgledy-piggledy fashion.” He was somewhat amazed at the size of the herds in this country compared with English herds. Over there a herd of 100 head is a large herd, very few of them numbering that many. When he viewed the McCray herd of more than 500 head of pure-bred registered Herefords he was enthusiastic in his praise. “Farmer,” one of the herdheaders at Orchard Lak‘e, was imported from Hereford, England, in 1913, and was looked upon as the best two-year-old bull in Great Britain. Mr. Britten considers “Farmer” one of the greatest bulls of the breed. In speaking of the cattle condition in his country, Mr. Britten says that owing to a regulation effective at the outset of the war, bv which no calf could be slaughtered under thirteen weeks of age, they now have over 1,000,000 more head of cattle in Great Britain than at the beginning of the conflict. From here Mr. Britten went to the big, international show at Chicago, and from there to New York to take return passage.—Kentland Democrat. . v
