heavy field and against an eleven of
heavy experienced men the Grand
RAPIDS high school team triumphed
over the Stevens Point high school at
the latter named place last Saturday,
by score of 10 to O.
At no time during the game was
Grand Rapids goal in danger, and the
fast play brought out by the boys
from the Rapids evoked applause from
the Stevens Point rooters many times
during the afternoon.
When the coin was flipped before
the game Capt. Jensen, of Stevens
Point, found that Dame Fortune"
had favored him and that he had won
the toss. He chose to receive the
kick.
Promptly at 2.30 Brennan kicked
off, and Young ran the ball back 20
yards before he was downed. Stevens
Point at once tried Grand Rapids
line, but it held firm and after three
futile trials the ball went over to
Grand Rapids on downs.
Nimtz Immediately gained five
yards around right end and CorcOran
three around left end. Brennan went
through left guard for five yards and
NimtZ made fifteen yards in a pretty
dash around right end. Grand Rapids
continued to gain on every down until
after seven minutes of actual play
Nimtz was pushed over for a touch
down. Little missed goal.
Grand Rapids kicked to Stevens
Point and the ball was brought back
ten yards. G. Jensen gained four
yards on line smash but an attempt
of Krembs to circle left end resulted
in no gain for Stevens Point, Jensen
again went through the line fol-
another four yards. Jensen couldn't
do all the work and after poor attempts
to run Grand Rapids ends Stevens
Point lost the ball on downs.
Nimtz got to working again and
went through right guard for five
yards. Brennan negotiated ten yards
through the same spot. Stevens
Point picked up in its play and threw
Nimtz for no gain-Corcoran for q
loss. Grand Rapids lost the ball or
downs.
1t was up to G. Jensen to try a line
smash at center but Hayes stopped
this by pretty play. Stevens Point
was held for no gain. Two more.trials
netted them nothing and the bal
went over to Grand Rapids.
NImtz went twenty yards around
the end and Brennan gained seven or
line smash. Nimtz made ten more
around the end.
Capt. Jensen here introduced side
issue, not called for on the bills, anC
endeayored to entertain the Grove

yards of Stevens Points goal where i,
was lost on downs. The half ended
