FROM FRESHMEN

Game, 5 to O..

Scoring touchdown during the first five min
utes of play and defending their goal successful
~ from the fierce attacks of their opponents,
the fast North high team yesterday defeated the
university freshmen by a score Of S to O.. Su-
perior weight the part of the high school
team and disastrous fumbling by the freshmen
We're the two factors which gave victory to the
blue and white. t=sE
Realizing at the start that the freshman line
was outweighed. Quarterback Wilkinson began an
onslaught the gopher forwards using the
heavy men Of his backfeld, and from the 40
yard line the high-school team marched up the
field for touchdown. With the King boys and
Ibberson the high-school team seemed invinct-
ble and by sheer weight forced the ball over
the line. The plays which brought North high
its touchdown were well planned and well exc
cuted. andsthe team worked with the precision OF
q machine a.
During the remainder of the first half the adj
vantage was with the high school team, but the
freshman line held at critical times and the
gopher 25-yard line proved impossible.
Smash Thru Tackle. --.su
during this period was the star feature Of the
freshman play, while Marks and the Oswalds
proved the best ground gamers for North high.
Most of the North high gains were made thru
tackles, Foker and Kiser being outweighed by
the Oswald brothers.
The second half saw the high-school team or
the defensive. Using Eakins, Bly, and Frykman
with occasional end runs by Little Rasmussen
the freshmen early in the half forced the bal
to the Syard line. Here BLY, was given the
ball for line buck. but fu1nbled and the high
school team punted out of danger
Again the freshmen began their onslaught
this time taking the ball to the 1O-yard line
Fumbling seemed contagious, however. FrykmaI
dropped the pigskin and again North punted ou
Of danger. After this the freshmen weakened
! and North high carried the ball into the fresh
man territory. The half ended with the bal
in possession Of the freshmen on their OWL
| 2O-yard line.
Little Stellar Work. .
The game was conspicuous for an absence O
individual play. Straight line bucks were re
! lied On by both teams, altho toward the fnisl
! North high resorted to end runs with good sue
cess. BLY,, Frykman and Eakins were the fresh
man manstays in the ground-gaining line, bu
| the work Of Bly, and Frykman was marred b.
| the disastrous fumbling which gave North higl
| the ball two occasions after the Freshmen
had forced it to inside the 10-yard line.
All three Of these freshmen ground-gai
were worn out and forced to leave the gam
. before the second half ended. Merrill, VIII
J took Bly's place, played a steady game an
backed up the line well. Little Rasmussen a
quarter the freshmen with good speed an
was steady in handling the ball. He surprise
the crowd on several occasions by getting ava
! for good gains.
Wilkinson must be given much credit for tn
victory of the high-schoo1 team. He ran th
! eleven without a skip and displayed good ger
eralship. In the line the Oswalds and 3
King the high-school strength, while tn
whole North high backfeld came in for shar
Of the glory. = .. a
Roofing a Feature.
One Of the interesting features of the gam
| was the roofing contest between the freshma
rooters in the grandstand and the yelling IL
gions Of North high. Even after the game tn
| university rooters remained on the field an
cheered the defeated players.
