Near Goal.

Central high played the strong Manchester
football team to standstin yesterday on field
Netber ad de scored n the snr baf
played, but the Central boys had the collegians
sweating on their 8-yard line. and If the slip
game there would have been few points notched
on the tallystick for Central.
The game started with the downpour threat
ening cloudburst but the opposing line Of
warriors jumped into the game as if it was a g
brisk day in November. Captain Morse kicked
the ball to Macalester's 15-yard line, where
Nelson fshed for it in the lake and caught it
In time to run back several fathoms. Shell
man was called back from tackle and putting en-
horsepower carried the ball by series of bucks
and plunges to the center Of the field Here the
Central boys threw out anchor and held for
downs. Then began twentyknot speed for the
goal line, which unfortunately for them did not
reach the harbor, causing great sigh Of relief
from the Manchester onlookers on the shore.
Finn fell the ball, and big Mudhorse Ames
was called back and plowed thru the line for his
distance Montgomery then set sail for pretty
run and the danger was past. Central braced
up and secured possession of the ball and start
ed down the course again, but time called
In time to prevent any more heart shudderings
for Manchester.
At the close of the twenty minute half the
men were covered with mud and the downpour
cided to stop with honors even, and there was
honor enough for both teams. The game was
fast and snappy thruout barring the fumbling,
which was impossible to eliminate. Both teams
| showed good all-around work and the plays were
varied, and effective. Coach Jimmy Irs-
field has rounded out a team strong enough to
bid for the championship. out of what seemed at
first very scattering timber.
