ties ever seen the Olnev Higs Cubs
defeated the Crowell Wildcats on
the latter’s gridiron 7-0, Friday.
The Crowell line never gave in
and Olney finally resorted to the
air before pushing across the lone
touchdown. Although Olney led in
first downs at the half they were
outplayed. As all the Olney fans ex-
pected the Cubs came back strong
the second half and fought the Cats
back to their goal line a number of
times until finally Graves carried
the pigskin across early in the
fourth quarter. J. Todd was the out-
standing lineman for Crowell while
O’Brien and Sloan were the stars
of the Olney line.
Out of a crowd of about 2000
Olney claimed about 500. Every-
where you turned around you could
run into an Olney fan. Many of
them were somewhat worried as to
the outcome of the game after three
quartrs went by scoreless but they
forgot all about that in their cheer-
ing when Olney at last pushed their
touchdown.

ward their fourth straight title of

tackle. D. Todd punted but Olney was
offside. He punted again but it went
out on the 24 yard line.
Duckworth and Graves slashed
through the line for two long gains
to get to the 4 yard line as the quar-
ter ended. Score: Olney 0, Crowell 0.
On the first play of the fourth
period, Graves plunged over left
tackle for a touchdown. Duckworth
place kicked the extra point. Score:
Olney 7, Crowell 0.

INSPIRED COMPOSITOR
Visitor in printing office: “What
is your rule for punctuating?’’
The Apprentice (lately promoted
to the case) : “I set as long as I can
hold my breath and then put in a
comma; when I yawn I put in a
semi-colon, and when I want a chew
of tobacco I make a paragraph.”

Rich Publisher Wipes
Hand of Filthy Lucre
New York.—Bernard McFadden,
publisher and physical culture advo-
cate, announced last night he has
given away all his capital—more
than $5,000,000—because he be-
lieves that money makes for unhap-
piness and that he will find more
“enthralling happiness” in life by
living off his salary.
McFadden made the announce-
ment in a radio address and elabo-
rated his theory of wealth in an
interview with the United Press.
He attacked wealth as a menace,
likely to convert its possessors into
“flabby mollycoddles," and he
warned that we are living in a revo-
lutionary period when men of wealth
“should put their houses in order.”
“You can’t find a single happy
family in the wealthy classes,” he
declared. “Wealth for them means
ostentation and display. Families
that inherit money are even worse.
The family degenerates with each
generation. They don’t conduct their
own business affairs, but have to
hire someone to do it for them. They
have no brains and they have no
happiness.”
SCOUT NEWS
Must Make A
Complete Stop
Suppose a cannon ball traveling
in one direction meets and carries
back a rifle bullet traveling in the
opposite direction. Does the rifle
bullet stop completely in reversing
its course to travel back with the
cannon ball? The fact is the rifle
ball will have to stop a theoretical
instant before starting in the oppo-
site direction, notwithstanding the
cannon ball continues on its original
course. No moving object can com-
pletely reverse its course without
first coming to a complpete stop.
Theoretically the cannon ball will be
slowed up slightly.—Pathfinder.

New Christmas Cards and new low
pi'ices at The Olney Enterprise.
On Friday evening, October 30,
the Scouts were taken to the City
Lake by Scoutmaster Lansford to
spend the night and Saturday. Mr.
Chas. Hunt was kind enought to
furnish the Scouts a truck for this
trip.
The boys arrived at the lake about
sundown. Firewood was gathered
for council fires and after this sup-
per was prepared and eaten. After
supper, stories were told around the
fire—then, bedtime.
Saturday morning, af^ break-
fast field work began which included
[tracking, the Scout pace, signalling
and other Second Class Scout tests.
Many of the boys finished their
Second Class work and are begin-
ning on the First Class tests. Sat-
urday evening the boys came home
with a wonderful story to tell.
On the regular meeting night, No-
vember 6, there were not many
present on account of the Olney-
Crowell football game. At this meet-
ing there was Mr. Beaver, Scoutmas-
ter of Troop 49 from Dallas.
The Scouts of Olney are very
much pleased with the new basket-
ball which has been given by the
American Legion here.
Saturday, November 14, the Scout
troop of Olney is going to make a
house ot house campaign to collect
cast-aside clothes for the children
who will need them during the win-
ter.
