The high school football team ended
very successful season last Saturday
by defeating the Austin high school
team 10 to 6. Both teams We're i'll
splendid shape and well matched in
size and weight. Austin played the
local team even last year and the boys

win this game for another reason as it

bered that the game last Saturday had
to be cut short at least ten minutes
in order TO allow the Austin boys to

stage of the game rushing down the
field at the rate of five and ten yards
to the down. This game makes the
fifth victory this season out of a pos
sible six. The total score Tor the sea-

Schedule This Year.
The schedule this year included some
of the best schools in this part of the
state. Faribault and Austin have al
ways been strong conten&rs for the
championship OF Southern Minnesota
and by defeating them the boys feel
that they have defeated the fastest
high school football teams in this part
of the state. - -,
In reviewing the season the uniform
success of team which at the be.
ginning Of the season was made up
largely of recruit material seems re-
markable. 10 DIR. Rosenwald who gen.
erously gave his time to the boys is
due the credit for developing a fast
and clean playing machine. Throughout
the season he has given unsparingly of
his time and enthusiasm and literally
taught the boys the game and as d
result the last game showed the boys
to be possessed of a splendid line OF
plays which were executed with pre-
cision and snap, each man taking
a definite part. II can hardly be said
that any one man played a stellar part
and if anyone should be singled out
all would deserve the same honor. The
team as whole have worked hard
and constantly with the object of
keeping in the best possible condition.
The team is made up with three
exceptions of Seniors and they, of
course, have been the back bone of
the team and the success of the season
is in large measure due to them.
Second Team Deserves Mention.
In connection with the success of the
season the second team deserves men
ton. From the first day of practice
they have come out regularly and by
the defensive and offensive practice the,
furnished, they materially aided in
winning the games. They worked hard
and kept training as consistently as
did the. first team men and without
getting share in the glory which
attaches to membership on the school
team. There is some very fine ma
