CR0OKSTON AFTER
SATURDAYS GAME
Battle Will Be Stag
ed Saturday Morning at
u. N. D. Gridiron

Although the Grand Forks high
school eleven expects to defeat the
Crookston pigskin chasers when the
latter play here on Saturday morning,
they will run up against a triie harder
proposition than they are at the pres.
ent time figuring on. The Crookston
team has the advantage Of one more
game played this year and they have
been putting in all Of their time in
getting ready for their old rivals in
h Forks. Grand Forks won the an
nual game last year by a score of 8
to 6. This game was won by the To-
cal o ma touchdown and a drop kick
by Bacon. The game was too close
Tor comfort and If Bacon had not got
ten the right slant of the ball. the
story might have been different. From
seat OF Polk county. the C%rookston-
ties intend to reverse hat score this
year.
Coach Smith, who is teaching the
Crookston lads the principals of the
game is right there with the coaching
ability and 1t is expected that he will
have a bundle of trick plays up his
sleeve to spring on the locals. The
game will be played at 1880 o'clock
on Saturday morning. This morning
game was necessary as the annual

In the afternoon and the high school
players will be unable to secure the
gridiron. It Is expected that Tom
johnson will do the refereeing.
Owing to the rain Of the past few
days very little scrimmage work has
been done by the high school eleven
which is what they need the most Of
all to make a successful winning team
ON than can cop the state title.

squad got out for a thirty minute
scrimmage. In this they showed that
they had learned a trifle more about
the signals. but they still have much
to learn In the ways Of the great fall
sport.
However. the boys show promise Of
something better before the end Of the
a II they get down and work
and not run through the signals for
the sake Of getting owe with the
practice. but with a vim as though
they were tearing holes through the
line Of the Central high school of Du-
luth, whom they expect to meet some
time this season.
The practice of the past week has
not been going along to the entire
satisfaction of Coach DOC" O'Keefe.
In regard to the chances Of the team
taking the state championship he
stated today that while there may be
plenty Of material, that material is
ward the desired goal unless they get
out for practice" -.
Feetham, who has been tried out at
fullback the past week. will be given
a chance to hold the job permanently,
providing he makes good in the
Crookston game. The trouble with
the backfeld men is that they feel
that they have their positions cinch-
ed and are not showing up as they
should all the time. Hassell at left
halfback is a fast man and much ID
expected of him. His main fault is
in fumbling and unwillingness to put
himself In practice scrimmage. "--nip''
O'Keefe at the right back job, is an
old experience player and should
make the best showing this veal that
he W. has"
Payne at quarterback. is a heady
player and with more actual expert:
ence he undoubtedly will be marked
as the best man at the job the high
school has ever had. Albert Arm
strong at center. needs a little more
practice In passing the ball more &C.
curately. Burfennihg and Coulter at
guards r showing up well but what
they need most is the practice in hit
ting the line low, in which at the
present time they are very weak.
Lynch and Ferguson are doing we'll
at tackle, and will prove to be several
tons of brick in the proverbial stone
wall. Fishman and Welsh at the
ends will work we'll together. and will
give their opponents plenty to wor-
ry about. Fishman can also be work
ed as a backield man and would be
a star in that position providing he
were more regular in attendance at
practice. Lodmell. a new man, will
likely work at right end in the Crook
ston game. Dryden. a line man, may
also be given a chance to show what
he a do in the Crookston game
and Batten may also be played.
Lack Of Spirit.
According to several members of
the football squad and Coach QKefee
there is a big lack Of spirit in the high
school over all Of the athletic sports.
A crowd Of rooters on the sidelines.
a cheer for a good play. recognition
Of good team work and backing Is
necessary for a good football team.
No matter how strong an eleven the
high school has. they will not do their
best work unless they get some en-
couragement. It is understood that
there is a movement on foot at the
present time to organize a rooters'
club at the school.
