The greatest athletic event in the history of Monmouth College took place last Thursday afternoon when the Rush Medical foot ball team, of Chicago, lined up against the home team at the college ball park. Not withstanding the cold and threatening weather, acrowd of about one thou and people gathered to see the game. The time for calling the game was but long before that hour the crowd began to gather and carriage after carriage, gaily decorated with the college colors, came rolling in. The magnificent turnouts and the brilliant display of the red and white by the large number of citizens and students present gave the park quite a gala appearance. About the teams stepped into the field and began warming up by a little practice work. At the game was called. Rush won the toss and took the ball, Monmouth taking the east goal.
