NORTH HIGH WINS
FROM SOUTH TEAM
Burgan's Wards Were Surprised
by Game Fight Of Ellis
/. " Warriors.

Football enthusiasts who Travelled to North
high field yesterday afternoon to witness the
battle between the North and South highschoOl
elevens We're not disappointed, as the game
was one of the hardest-fought affairs Of the sea-
son, the final score being II to In Norths
favor. Both teams went into the game in fine
condition. and but few substitutes were used
The general idea was that the Northsiders
would run away with Coach Ellis team, and
for time they did. but after the South boys
recovered from their stage fright they played
just as fast and hard as their opponents But
few grandstand plays were made by either team,
both resorting to the tricks brought out by the
new rules. The North high had the forward
pass down to perfection, always making FROM
ten to twenty-five yards pass. The short
side kick was also used several times by Bur
gan's team, and this also seemed to worry the
South aggregation. Wv. ~. ~
Rigler a Star. .l.
Benny Rigler, quarterback the South high
team, was the star Of the game his long end
runs bringing the stand to it's feet on several
different occasions. Any time the South team
had more yards to make than looked possible
the little quarter would circle the ends for q
gain of from twenty to forty-hve yards. Lin
scog, left tackle, and Kelly, right tackle for
South, were also in the game for honor, and
both men seemed to get thru the line at all
times. Zahner, left guard, was a little light
for the position, but he more than held his
own, and often opened large holes In the North s
line for fullback bucks.
Gunderson, Floback and Phelps, backheld men,
made good gains for their team, and all were
game at left end, but he was injured In the
last half and was replaced by Hardy.
Chicken started in to star for the North team
again today and in the first ten minutes of play
was given the ball as many as fifteen times for
gains ranging from ten to twenty yards In dis
lance. Casey ran the team we'll and his tackl1ng
was accurate, but he was not as good at advan-
cling the ball IN this game as was the case IN

gamers for North, altho little :'Fuzz'' Rob-

his playing yesterday, and two different times he
allowed himself to be boxed, while Rlgler made
long around the end.
