SLAUGHTER DONE
BY NORTHSIDERS
Hit Superior Like Avalanche, Pill.
ing Up Fifty-five Points
Against Giants.
BY GIL.

North Side defeated Superior high yesterday
by u score of 30 to Q. The score does not tell
the story of the game. Superior did not have
a weak team, but of the strongest and
raavest football aggregations which ever played
under high-school coors. The field was heavy,
and. if there is any truth in the story South
Side tells Of its game at the head Of the lakes.
just the kind Of field to which Superior is ac
customed.
In spite of the strength Of the visitors and
the unfavorable condition of the gridiron, North
played the purple and white off its feet. Man
after man of the Superior team wore himself
out trying to break up the almost perfect inter-
ference pierce the stone-wall line of North The
Superior boys fought every inch, but could not
stand the gruelllng shock of the mass forma tions
which Coach Nye has taught his men,, Every
substitute the visitors had went into the game
fore the last thirty minutes of play up
because Superior could not fill up the last sap
made in its line. '.
''Shift'' Wins for North.
North made most Of its gains on shift for
nation which permitted the man with the, ball
to dash around or over the end behind a per-
feet curtain interference. Wilkinson ran. the
North Side team to perfection, but could not
push it to it's full speed because of the condition
of the field. In the second half he took the
ball himself for several long runs. The Oswalds
and the Kings did their share of the ground
gaining. Iberson was also good for from FIVE
to ten yards at every trial. Jack Marks played
a spectacular game as fullback, and aroused
the enthusiasm of the grandstand with an ex-
hibition of his oldtime form.
Rooney of Superior showed himself to be q
game player Every time the scrimmage pile
melted away the chances were ten to one that
he would be at the bottom with his arms around
the legs Of the man with the ball A. Buchanan,
the heavy Superior fullback, was the main re.
lance of the visitors when 1t came to advancing
the ball. .-.,
