This was the slogan that greeted the
Sleepy Eye aggregation when it lined up
before the New Ulm eleven at the Driy-
ing Park Saturday afternoon, and that
the words Of the high school ..yell'' were
prophetic Of. the result of the coming
contest the rapidly following events Of
the game gave ample evidence. Through
untiring activity the managers of the
local team had succeeded in arousing con-
siderable interest in the game and fully
800 people were Oh the grounds to wit
ness the first game of foot ball ever
played in this city and ultimately to re-
joice in the victory of the home eleven.
Inspired each in turn by the outcome
OF the game at Sleepy Eye two weeks
ago as we'll ss by the presence of liber-
al quota Of fair admirers both teams
went on the field equally confident of
success. These favorable conditions,
added to ansalmost ideal day, made the
start seem everything that could be de-
sired when referee Hoke sounded his
whistle at ESQ p. m.
For the FIST half Urqhart kicked off
for New Ulm and McPeek brought the
ball back is yard sbefore Emmerick
downed him. A series of plunges net
ted Sleepy Eye 10 yards more, and the
little bevy of Sleepy Eye girls on the
size line went villa with enthusiasm.
But their hopes were soon shattered for
the ball Wps New Ulm's on downs.
Quickly New Ulm closed up and almost
before their antagonists realized what
was coming next the reliable little Hub
bar,is, aided by pretty interference, were
stealing around the ends for 10, Is and
20 yards at q jump. 1t was hard work
but the play went steadily on until few
minutes later Frank Hubbard literally
fell over the line and scored New Ulm's
first touch down, and from this time on,
though the braves from Sleepy Eye
fought gamely and disputed every inch
| of territory surrendered, the superiority
| of the New Ulm team was only too ap-
parant and all that remained was the
question as to what would be the size of
| the score.
Only once was New Ulm's goal in
anything like danger, and then Capt
Current responded to the occasion with
pretty punt which Sleepy Eye failed
to handle and aaother touch down was
the result. At the end of the first half
the score was Ito, which was increased
to 81 for New Ulm at the close of the
game, ,each half netting two touch-downs.
New Uim's play was characterized by
quick. decisive work and their weighter,
less scientific opponents were simply
carried off their feet. New Ulm's team
gave evidence of careful, all round coach.
ing while that of Sleepy Eye showed
lack of system and too great reliance On
individual play. McPeek and Blake, the
Sleepy Eye backs, showed commendable
pluck and determination but found
themselves practically helpless without
the organized assistance of their team:
mates.
| For New UIm little Bert Hubbard was
again the bright particular star. Lei
bold played his usual plucky game al
end. Urquhart directed the game with
excellent judgment and much credit is
due him for the quick succession OF
plays which helped New Ulm so much
Coach Fisher, the old Purdue university
player, may be justly proud OF
his victories understudies.
