IN SCRIMMAGE.

line Medics in Holly Con-
tested Game.
Bv GIL,

North high defeated the Hamline needles yes
terday by score Of to 0 in a game which
marred by much rough play and wranglins.
The blue and white players got the ball across
the doctors line shortly after the kickoff, and
thru the rest Of the game the play swayed
back and forth. with North having shade the
best of it, but unable to score. - -. ~ a.
Toward the end of the first half the officials
lost control of the game, and every decision
was made the occasion for a heated debate
From this the players got to exchanging more
s tangible arguments when they met in secluded
places in the scrimmage: 1t would be hard to
say which team was first guilty of using
1 direct blow, and the supporters Of each team
insist that the blame belongs to the other. Hs@ :
Blows Exchanged. =
4. This unfortunate state Of affairs came to a
! climax just before time called on the first
half. 1t is uncertain whether Valency, the
right guard Of the Hamline team, Intentionally
\ struck Frank King Of North Side, or whether,
as he claims, it was an accident Allan King,
4 according to the best evidence, saw the blow
and. angered by the previous rough play and
his brother. landed blow on the Hamline man
which put him down and out. -
i! The game came to standstill and both teams
/ proceeded to tell the officials what to do.
z, Coach Nye did not wait for the decision of
! the umpire, but retired A. King and H. Oswald,
| tho there seems to have been no real reason for
sending Oswald to the s1delines except the
| clamor Of the Hamline contingent. King should
] not be charged with deliberate foul, the
blow was struck in the heat of passion on what
b
/ wards showed his manliness by making q vol
untary apology to Vallency. - = '
Players Caught Balance.

tirely devoid, Of the ,roughness which marked

avenue boys ~braced and held the doctors fos
downs. -
The Hamline team was heavy and fast, but

d yh mad in con.
