Ing uT6C real 1OOC Ud1A SS1Iuo over
played in Little Falls was pulled of
at the ball park in the southern part
of the city Friday afternoon. The
contesting elevens were the teams of
the Little Falls and Sank Centre high
schools. The game had a rather un-
fortunate ending which left the de-
cision of the score of the game with
Referee Hutchinson, who decided the
contest to 0 in Our favor.
The crowd at fridays football
game was somewhat diminutive in
comparison with the crowd which
usually attends a baseball contest in
this city. This was presumably due
to the fact that such an athletic ex-
hibition wassomething new to Little
Falls people and beingsomething out
of the ordinary was not patronized
as readily as a game with which we
are more familiar. The game yester-
day consisted of two Is minute
naives. 1t was called at 1868 by Kef-
cree Hutchinson. After = minutes
actual playing Lang scored the first
touch down. Owing to his good
interference and a fine run from the
25 yard line it was an easy win. With
a safe kick for goal the score stood 6
to 0 in our favor. The first half ended
with the ball belonging to Sank
Centre in the centre of the field. After
the first touch down the ball was in
our territory most OF the time. Sank
Centre managed to get the ball
within 10 yards OF their goal line but
our boys held them down and rushed
them back to the center OF the field.
After a 10 minute rest the second half
was called at 4:55 O'Clock. After 5
minutes playing Tesfeldt make a
touch down for the visitors. A goal
kick made the score to g. Sank
Centre would not have made this
touch down but owing to the crowd
being on the field they easily broke
through our lines and made the run.
1t was after this touch down, and
within 4 minutes before the end of
the second half and the end of the
contest that the unfortunate part Of
the game occurred. Sank Centre had
the ball in the center OF the field.
They misjudged their own signals
and their quarterback made q run
without the third touching the pig
skin. H7 ran to the 25 yard line and
was downed. As it was a foul play
Referee Hutchinson called them back.
Their captain, James Tesfeldt, and
Manager F. NJ. Mccormick, objected
to the decision of Hutchinson and
after useless arguing quit the field.
The only trouble was Sank Centres
work was a little coarse and after
getting caught at it they did not
want to acknowledge their mistake.
Knowing our boys were green they
thought they could work them with
trick plays but they were not sharp
enough. They say they met a tougher
proposition than they ever expected
they would and were surprised at
our boys playing. Referee Hutchin-
son decided the game 6 to 0 In our
favor.
Such an ending to the contest is to
be regretted. 1t was pretty game
up to this time and ought to have
been finished in the same manner.
The Sank Centre players are inclined
to be kickers but they found that it
will not go here, Their professor
scored and shamed them for act
ing as they did and regretted exceed
ingly thai his boys were not respect
