EASY FOR SOUTH
Coach Ellis Boys Run Away with
the Team from st.
Paul.

i . =.
Paul.
South high had a walkaway with the st. Paul
Mechanic Arts school for time in their game
Yesterday and succeeded in running up score
pull themselves together. All the points were
run up IN the first half. and altho the visitors
failed to score the orange and black rooters re-
ceived one or two scares.
Coach Ellis had his team trained to perfec-
ton In all departments Of the game. The for.
ward pass was used repeatedly and only two or
three times failed. OF the four touchdowns
made BY South three, were made by forward
Every man on the South high team played
hard and the St. Paul team was outplayed COM
pletely In the first half. In the
second half, however, Kelhier, the
captain OF the team, who had been on the side
lines, decided to 60 to the rescue. and it was
his brilliant playing and excellent generalship
that kept Coach Ellis men from scoring in the
second half. Kelhier is one OF the fastest quar-
terbacks seen in high school football this season
and his work is marvellous. BESIDES running
well with the ball, he has good kicking leg
and several times got on some punts that
equaled those Of Gunderson.
Rdgler Stars Again. .
Rigler and Gunderson played star games for
South, with Hanson and Erickson giving them q
close run for honors. Linscog and Kelly played
their men of their feet turnout the whole
upon to carry the ball. zahner at left guard
played the best game Of the season, breaking
thru repeatedly and spelling plays and opening
large holes for Gunderson on fullback bucks
Floback and Phelps were at their best in the
halfback positions and both pulled OF some
sensational runs. Flagstad had the Mechanics
center at his mercy, at all times breaking
thru at will, and getting would-be runners for
losses. Hardy was in at right guard yester-
day, and altho light man, played rings around
Eckberg Of the VISITORS
Beside Kelhier, Larson was the bright star
for the Mechanics This little man caused the
Souths no end Of worry, as he was always in
the play and twice got an attempted forward
pass each time going over ten yards before
tackled. He was also sensational. man with
the ball, and most Of the visitors gains were
due to his running. Mc1nnes, Kenney and
Mourdant deserve mention for the way in which
they worked, and the latter made some telling
gains in the last half. 3.
