TWO FIELD GOALS +.
AT NORTH FIELD
BY Lewis L. Collins.

In spectacular game of football East high
school yesterday afternoon defeated North high
by a score of 10 to 4. The game played on the
North. high field should go far in removing
prejudices against high-school football, for as
q clean, gentlemanly exhibition Of the way the
game can be played and the skill which can be
attained by high school teams, the, contest has
never been surpassed in the twin cities. The
fact that two goals from the field were kicked
this in "a high-school game-ises sufficient
indication of the merits of the game from a
spectators standpoint. = A&
At the end Of the first half Of play tile score
stood to 4, and altho the ball had been for the
most part in North high territory honors were
practically even, and the rooters of both teams
spent the interval between the halves in a
pleasurable state Of anxiety. The even score
was the result two pretty drop kicks by Casey
North high quarterback. and Martin, quarterback
and captain Of the East high team. Casey 8
kick came ten minutes after the start of the
game when North high, on the tumble, of
quarterback kick secured possession of the ball
on .East's 15yard line Frykman's line braced,
and after two unavailing tries at the line Casey
dropped back to the 2O-yard line, received a
beautiful pass from Center Armstrong and booted
the, ball square between the posts.t 1910 Z, !
During the remainder of the half the East high
team kept the ball in North's territory and on
several occasions were within striking distance
Of the North high goal line. Time after time,
however, the North high defense held and avert
ed touchdown. Twice Captain Dean Martin Of
the East high team attempted drop kicks from
the field, but 1t was not until the very end Of
the half, when North high. fighting desper-
ately, had held the. Eastsiders the 25-yard
l1ne that the East high captain succeeded in boot
ing the ball between the bars. With five seconds
to play, Martin dropped back to the 30-yard line.
and standing in mud which seemed to preclude
the possibility of successful kick, sent the ball
above the bar, tying the for his team.
The kick was the prettiest made in Mime
apol1s high school football.
The first part Of the second half developed q
puntfng duel in which Martin for East had the
best of the argument The ball was forced into
North high territory, only to be brought back
into East Side ground by a brilliant 3O-yard
run by Leighton. Here East Side got the ball

North high line and ran the ball thirty yards to
the North high 35-yard line. determined at

by Kingsley, Woods and Hunt. the East team
forced the ball to the 5-yard line. Here East
was penalized five yards on account of an en-
thusiastic rooter who offered advice from the
side lines, but Woods and Kingsley made up the
distance, and Kingsley, diving thru center,
showed the nose Of the pigskin over the line for
the Eastsiders. Martin kicked goal, and after

ground, but he more than re-
trieved himself before the game was over. He

up the North high line in the second half, and
Woods, by his defensive and offensive work,
proved himself one of the best tackles in the
city Ellison, the East high center, also deserves
credit for his work, as he was heavily out

handled the ball well, and followed 1t with I'M
erring instinct, while Hunt, the fast East Side
halfback, altho he had trouble in getting start
ed. played splendidly on the defense.
For North high Leighton and Casey played
the most spectacular games. leighton made
several splendid runs and Casey handled the bali
