walked olto the griairon at the
Fair grounds in this city yester-

of a large crowd of enthusiastic

ascendant, they having a material
advantage both in weight and
team work.

giving Mo Valley the kick off.
The play of the visitors was fast
and furious and to the dismay of
the High School rooters the ball
WAS slowly forced into the dan
gerous territory of the High
School team. The students would
take Il brace aud hold the Normal
ites for q short time and the con-
test wsged back and forth across
the white lines for several min
utes. by an end run superbly
protected by perfect Interference
the visitors carried the ball down
the field for gain of many yards,
the runner finally being downed
when within seven inches of the
Missouri Valley goal. Here the
high School students took a
brace and secured the ball on
downs, the visitors failing to gain
a single inch in three efforts the
ball going to the High School stu
dents. Cook punted for about
thirty-Eve yards down the field.
A member of the Normal team
again carried the ball towards the
goal line, being downed once more
when within two feet of the goal
line. Again the line of the High
School team held and the visitors
lost the ball on downs failing to
make their two foot gain in three
downs. AT the time of the close
of the first half the ball was in
possession of the High School
team on their five yard line. After
a five minutes intermission the
battle was resumed once more,

ing equally divided. AT FIVE
