Chelsea's 44 to 0 win over Saline
Friday at the victor's field meant the
clinching of the Huron League championship for the home eleven and
showed: up some good material for
the Purple and White griddiron crew
of next year. During the second
half Coach Ray Shaw put in nine
substitutes in order to give them
experience and' to save his first string
men for the encounter with Manchester this afternoon.
The Friday game was a foregone
conclusion after the first five minutes of play. Saline kicked to Chelsea and they started off on a march
straight down the field that ended in
a touchdown. The winners made
another touchdown in this quarter
and added two more in each the second and third stanzas. In the fourth
quarter  they  chalked  up   one more.
The route to most of the scores
was straight football with a few
good runs and- a pass or two .mixed
in. Chelsea collected 20 first downs
while Saline could only gather two.
both of which were made while the
second team was holding the fort.
Kern played well for Chelsea, accounting for two of their seven tallies. He made both of the touchdowns after over 20 yard runs. Harwood at center showed up well for
Saline. He has usurped the regular
berth at center and-is at his best on
defense, taking part in a good percentage of the tackles at his place
as roving center.
During the second half the substitutes showed up remarkably well on
the defense and! held the aggressive
j Chelsea outfit „as well if not better,
I than did the first string players. A
20 yard pass' from Arend to Marion
was completed in this frame which
was one of the few substantial gains
made hy the Purple' and White during the afternoon's festivities.
In the one other Huron League encounter, Milan defeated Dundee, 13
to 6. The game meant nothing in
the standing for Milan, but a win for
Dundee would have put the -Monroe
county school definitely in third
place instead of sharing the position
with Roosevelt. Friday's gridiron activities end! the season so far as the
Huron League is concerned. Chelse?
has a clean slate which gives it the
undisputed title, while Milan is enthroned in second place. Dundee and
Roosevelt are tied for third, Clinton
has the fifth berth and Saline also
ran. ' ''   ■
Manchester is to be met today at
Saline in the last game of the year.

In his talk .the speaker brought
out1" the horror of the war and des-
scribed many of his experiences
while in action. He spoke of the potential force for peace of such organizations as Rotary, -but expressed a
doubt as to the real power for peace
which is expressed- in the many utterances for international brotherhood
without any action dl. a constructive
nature being taken.   *

Koopman and John. L-RRue and T.. JfcjJ.

Italian Leathercraft
In beautiful Italy where art ever
survives, hosts of skilled craftsmen
are busy creating intriguing handbags of finely wrought leather. A]k
most unprecedented enthusiasm,
marks the present vogue for bags of
the type illustrated, the leather of
which they are made being hand illuminated and tooled in the inimitable
Italian way. Some have zipper fastenings and leather-laced edges. Others are mounted on rare frames with
handles. No Christmas gift suggestion one may make will outrival that
of one of these choice bags. One of
the many attractions of these bags is
that they are obtainable in all the
fashionable' costume colors.
