esting Throughout.


Defeat was administered to eleven
young men from the Mankato Normal
by the New Ulm high school football
players Saturday afternoon in we'll
played game. The score was II to 6
and it demonstrates that the locals had
far and away the better of the argu-
ment. They played faster, had better
team work and outclassed their oppo-
nents in all the departments.
A very good crowd turned out to
witness the contest and, for the first
game of the season, the locals gave
their supporters a good exhibition,
their work showing the result of hard
and diligent practice. In the center of
the line Alvin, Brei and E. Mowery
distinguished themselves and Normal
found it next to impossible to gain
through their positions. Leibold and
Wicherski acquitted themselves credit
ably at the ends and Quarterback
Book passed clearly and played a
neat defensive game.
Behind the line Capt. Dengler, Clar-
ence Mowery and Fred Hubbard an
nexed territory in a way that was pleas
ing and their tackling was also of the
best. The team has still to overcome
tendency to tumble and must devise
amoreeffectivedefense upon end plays.
For the Normal Halfbacks Olson
and Griffin were easily the stars, but
Capt. Giblin and End Gilbertson We'd
with them for the honors.
At the opening of the game the Nor
NAL, for some unknown reason, chose
the south goal, giving New Ulm the
wind and the ball.. Leibold kicked off
and the ball was downed we'll into Nor
NAL territory. The latter possessed a
slight advantage in weight but they
were Immediately held for downs, New
Ulm losing the ball in the same man
ner little later. Short gains carried
it outside the 25-yard line but there
Clarence Mowery obtained possession
of the sphere on a tumble an trotted
over for New Ulm's first touchdown.
Leibold kicked goal. Score 6 too.
After the kickoff the locals played
the best ball of the day. Starting I'M
der their goal posts, they carried the
ball to the center of the field and there
Liebold skirted the end for a long gain.
He evaded all of the opposing players
and would have scored easily had he
not been interfered with by the crowd.
AS it was he was downed on the 15-
yard line but on the next play
Wicherski followed his interference
into a>clear field and tailed another
for New Ulm, Leibold missing goal.
Score II to 0.
When play was resumed Normal
took the ball almost the entire length
of the field on a SERVES of end plays,
only to lose it on downs at New Ulm' S
30-yard line. A moment later, however,
and with but two minutes left to play,
Capt. Giblin captured a tumble and
darted toward the goal. He was tackled
neatly by Wicherski but gained half
the distance. Then the New Ulm boys
resisted stubbornly. Twice the visitors
were stopped within foot of the line
and when at length the ball was pushed
over the visitors found that their work
had been for naught, as time had been
called before it was put in play and
Ethe touchdown was not allowed.
In the second half Normal was able
to score. Straight football was adopted
and the ball carried from their 2O-yarC
line to touchdown. Just made the
score and goal was kicked. On the
kickoff Leibold sent the oval across
the south goal and, while the Mankatc
crowd stood in doubt, Fred Hubbard
fell upon it for touchdown, Liebol6

and when time was called for the enc
