Hi, this is really fun to read about my uncle, and of course to see that he played football is great! If these are taken from the Morland Monitor? I wonder if there is any way for me to obtain a loan thru my local library? I tried all of the newspapers they listed in their reference books, but everyone came back saying interlibrary loan was not available. I wonder if there would be any way to initiate something like that from your end? I could write to ? or email ? maybe? Do you have any ideas? Thank you very much for your information. I am printing them out and am going to save them for further reference. ----- Original Message ----- From: jaws64@comlinkusa.net Sent: Tuesday, May 14, 2002 6:25 AM To: KSGRAHAM-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [GRAHAM CO., KS] Morland-Quinter football game 11 Nov 1924 This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

The students were represented a hundred per cent. Lets all of us, students and town people, be out to cheer our team on to victory at the WaKeeney-Morland game next Friday, November 14. Lets be back of our home team! Lets help them win! Morland High School Tigers won a moral and technical victory over Quinter. Coming from behind in the third and fourth quarters, Morland beat Quinter 11-10 November 11th. Although the decision was 10-9 in favor of Quinter, Morlan really won a victory. We outplayed Quinter in the first period of the game, after which Quinter stiffened and piled up a score of 10-0 at the end of the half. Morland went to the dressing rooms during the half and received a good lecture which put the old pep into them which accounted for the first score. Morland forced Quinter to the 25 yard line where the unexpected happened. Laurel Born one of Morland's tackles stepped back of the line and sent a perfect drop kick sailing between the goal posts. In the next quarter Morland fought with the same old spirit, making gains at every play. Then again came a great moment. Keith, Morland's end, raced away with a 40 yard pass, for a touchdown. Born failed to kick the goal. The sefety came at the end of the game, when a Quarter man was tackled behind the line, but the referee fuled that he had blown his whistle, which "if so" did not allow the extra score. The line-up for Morland was as follows: Keith--------Right End. Lotridge----Right Tackle. Butler-------Right Guard. Boss--------Center. Prout--------Left Guard. Born---------Left Tackle. Pratt---------Left End. Rawson----Quarter. Harris-------Right Half. Pruiett------Left Half. Collins------Full Back. Substitutions: George Richmeier for Harris and Harris for Richmeier. Trosper for Pratt. We sincerely thank the people of Morland and vicinity who so loyally gave us their support at the Quinter-Morland game. Friday we play WaKeeney. Lets have as good acrowd as we had Tuesday and let us beat WaKeeney by a large score. ==== KSGRAHAM Mailing List ==== Interactive search of the KSGRAHAM-L archives: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl?list=KSGRAHAM-L Threaded archives: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/KSGRAHAM-L/ ============================== To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237
