Warren High School Team Wins
First Victory on Home
Grounds.

High, SChOOl team laSG SATURDAY.
incidentally itmight be said the first
victory it has ever won on it's home
ground. The game from start to
finish was full of good plays and
was hard fought from beginning to
end Both teams showed up better
on offense than defence and seldom
were three downs necessary to
make the required distance. War
ren's line was weaker than Thief
Rivers on defence while the locals
backfeld showed up stronger. The
visitors line charged quicker ordi-
narily tho at times the locals were
able to get thru the line and stop
the play before it was started.
Anderson turned this trick twice.
The game was free from rough
or foul play, which was remarkable
when the fercenoss of the play is
considered. The game of foot ball
in this city will undoubtedly receive
a more hearty support hereafter by
reason of this fact and the boys who
played are to be commended for
their gentldmenly conduct while on
the field. The writer however sug-
gests that some of the players would
do we'll to learn not to talk so much
in the game. Let the officials make
their decisions and if the player
feels aggrieved let the captain make
the complaint.
The spectacular features of the
play were the long end runs of
-Staska and Ed. Bren, and the line
smashing Of the victors when they
carried the ball up the field for 80
yds. by line plunges for their touch
down. Bergh, Brown and O'Neal
were the best ground gamers for
the visitors. To pick out the in
dividual stars of the locals would be
impossible as every man put up a
good game of foot ball.
