NORTH HIGH won
FROM SOLDIERS
Smelling Team Forced to Use
Tyros, but Put Up a Stub
born Resistance.
BY Gil.

North Side won an interesting game from
Fort Smelling yesterday by a score of 80 to
u o;, me soldiers We're willing enough to out
how to turn the trick. Considering the fact
that there five in the fort lineup
who had never seen football game and not
one man who played on last years team, the
soldiers should be credited with playing a
stif game.
Fully 800 North Side enthusiasts were in
the grandstand and about third as many
in the trees outside the fence. The game
was close enough to call out any wild
demonstration, but the yell which followed
well for the roofing later in the season.
Both teams played simple football. Fort
Used not 1 + but f pp pla nem pd
more than six times. Captain Marks, of North,
was Oh the side lines and Jack Oswald, A.
King and Iberson did most Of the carrying, but
We're helped materially by their interference.
The school line invariably got the charge on
their heavy opponents. Armstrong, at center,
proved immovable on defense. He did no
aggressive work but simply got his weight
Miner, left guard H. Oswald, left tackle and
F. King, right tackle, were given the ball oc-
casionaly and made some good gains.
North did most Of its scoring in the ha rst
Coach Burgan sent In number OF second
team men and the play was somewhat ragged
as the substitutes seemed to be little uncer-
tain about the signals. .@a-
