The orange and black waved triumphant over
Norton field yesterday afternoon, while the
plucky Mechanic Arts team went down to defeat
before the plunging attack of Coach Goldblum's
South Side high machine. At the KICKOFF Solem
Of South ran the ball back ninety-fiye yards for n
touchdown. Three times more the ball crossed
the St. Paul goal line. Each time after march
down the field with Holmstrom, Rose and Dahl
quist carrying the ball.
South scored two touchdowns in each half and
4kicked no goals. Mechanic Arts got its single
score near the frstsSof the second half while
the Minneapolis boys were suffering with stiff
ness and oyerconfdence. While all of South's
gains, with the exception of Solems spectacu
lar run. We're made by three men they We're
largely due to the fine interference given them
by, thr teammates.
On the defensive South Side was very weak
There has never been an adequate second team
at South Side, and the line has not the slightest
idea whta to do in defense. The backs are
even more at sea and yesterday their hesitation
cost about three yards per hesitate. All that
the team knows about defensive playing it
learned on the field, and while 1t was learning
Mechanic Arts marched eighty yards down the
field for touchdown. 49,: .. .F- .e.
The attendance was not large, but made up
for its lack of numbers by enthusiasm. Next
to Solem's 95-yard run the roofing of the South
Side girls was the feature of the game.
