Normal VS.. Menomonie Here
Next Saturday.
Normal came back" after an aw-
ful slump, during which they al
lowed New Richmond to hold them
to tie, and administered 10 TO 8
defeat to the Superior Normal eleven
here last Friday afternoon. Super
ior outweighed the locals between
ten and fifteen pounds to the man,
and when the two teams lined up
just before the game it looked like
a sure victory for the visitors. But
the locals turned the appearance of
things right at the start, working
series of shift plays for big gains
until they had the ball on Superior's
fifteen yard line. Here the visitors
braced and got the ball on downs.
They Immediately punted, Foley
getting the ball near the thirty-five
yard line and carrying it over the
goal for River Falls first touch
down. Peirce missed goal and the
score was 5 to 0 in favor of River
Falls. Superior then kicked off 10
Moser, who made brilliant run, re-
turning the ball to the center of the
field. River Falls kept the ball in
Superior territory the remainder of
the quarter but failed to score
again. In the second quarter Nor
NAL secured the ball on Superior's
twenty-five yard line, and, after a
couple of trys through the line,
Bergh cleared right end for another
touchdown. Peirce again failed at
goal. River Falls 10, Superior
Superior kicked off to River Falls.
On the second play Condit
fumbled and Superior secured the
ball on the locals twenty-five yard
line, from where MCGOWAN made a
successful try at field goal. Score,
River Falls 10, Superior g. The
last half was an exciting encounter,
Superiar trying desperately to score,
and River Falls playing a sensation
al defensive game, keeping their
goal out of danger all the time.
The Superior team went to New
Richmond the following day and
played the high school team of that
city. The Superior boys were pref
ty we'll played out after their game
here and New Richmond managed
to put over 6 to 8 victory, Brickley
scoring a touchdown from fake
play through center and MCGOWAN
kicking field goal.
lin reviewing the Normal-New
Richmond game we dropped the re-
mark that Brickley, star performer
of the latter aggregation, was not
eligible to play with other high
schools on account of having played
or six consecutive years. We were
given this explanation at New Rich
mond as the reason why Brickley
did not play against Cumberland
high, 1t now comes out that Brick
ley is eligible, but felt it little
risky to go TO Cumberland on ac-
count of smuggling bee in which be
figured largely in the Cumberland
game last Year,
Next Saturday Normal will play
Menomonie high here. 1t will
surely be good game. Don't miss
| it.
Saturday afternoon high school
defeated Galahad on the local grid
iron by a score of 6 to 0. The game
was one of the most closely contest
ed football encounters ever played
here. The locals seemed to have a
shade the advantage, keeping the
! ball in the visitors territory most OF
the time, but Galahad made q great
defensive showing in the shadow OF
their goal, holding high school for
downs on three occasions when the
high had the ball on first down
within Galahad's five yard line.
Maier scored highs touchdown on
a three-yard plunge through tackle
in the last few moments of play. @tt
was a grand, clean, hard fought
game and the players on both teams
deserve much praise for their gritty
and manly playing.
