WAUsAU Ii. AMIGO o.


liz spite of the snow and wet field.
Nausa1 and Amigo played a good
game Saturday, game that was worth
standing out IN the cold TO watch. The
hrst half was rather slow but the Sec
Ond half was as fast as coul1 be ex-
pected with the field in the cond ton it
was. The last ten minutes of The game
was exceptionally fast for the Wausau
team as all the scoring was done in this
time. 1t looked at the beginning of the
second half as if neither team would
score but Wausau soon warmed up and
had things moving their own way.
The first half opened by Amigo kick
ing off to Wausau who we're stopped on
their 80 yard line. Amigo held and
Mumm punted to the center of the field
Wausau 10 turn held Amigo and the
ball was sent down in Wausau's terri
tory by fake punt. Wausau lost the
ball on their 25 yard line on a tumble.
Amigo, by making their downs twice
had Wausau's goal in danger but Wau-
sau held and Amigo was not able to
score. Wausau soon had the ball out
of danger as Mumm went about 80
yards on 4 quarter back run with Wick
making 20 yards around the end In
nearly every game of the season, Wau-

the first five or ten minutes of play but
each time the opposing team has been
kept from scoring. In the next play,
after Wick made his run, Wausau lost
the ball on forward pass but got it
hack again soon on similar mistake
OF Antis g. Wausau then forced the
ball up TO Amigos 25 yard line where
they were forced to kick. Mumm tried
place kick but the ball fell short
Amigo got the bali and punted. Dur
ing the remaining few minutes of the
first half the play was in the center of
of the field.
At the beginning of the second half
Wausau kicked to Drake who made
about 20 yards before he was tackled
Amigo tried forward pass but it was
so low that Sampson caught it. The
local team then carried the ball inside
of the visitors ten yard line. Here
Wausau tried pass which was fumbled
and one of the Amigo team fell on it in
back of the line making a touchback.
After the touchback, Amigo kicked
from the % yard lide to Gearhsrt
Wausau took the ball up the field for
about twenty yards and then Mumm
kicked over the goal line making an
other touch back.
The visitors again kicked from the 25
yard line and this time held Wausau in
the center of the field. Wausau lost the
ball but got it back by Sampson falling
on tumble.
Wausau saw that they had to score
soon or not at all and so by united
effort of the whole team the ball was
soon within twenty yards of goal. From
here long forward pass to Taugher
and short run by him gave Wausau
five points. Another point was soon
added by Mumm kicking goal.
Amigo kicked off to Sampson and
Wausau soon had the ball on the vlsi-
tors thirty yard line Here Wausau
fumbled but Wick picked it up and be-
fore all the Amigo team knew what
was going on he had made a touch
down. He was tackled just as he
crossed the line at one corner of the
field Mumm punted out for a place
from which to place kick but on ac-
count of the slippery field Johnson
slipped and the right to try goal was
forfeited.
There were only about two minutes
more of play and most of this time was
taken up by Amigo kicking off to
Wausau.
Taugher is generally fine on handling
forward passes but last Saturday he
was above the average. Alexander was
handicapped in handling passes by a
lame leg Mumm was punting better
than usual Saturday and in his quarter
back runs were one of the features of |
the game His generalshlp of the team
was better all around last Saturday |
than in the other games.
