One of the numerous possessions
that M. H. S. can justly be proud of
this term is the unlimited number of
"Bills" and "Willies'' enrolled.

- Last Saturday during the Stevens
County Fair some ambitious Hasbeens
under general Frank Harris collected
an army of "minute men" who where
hopelessly defeated by the heavy Nor
ris High School foot ball team by the
marginal score of 5 to 5. The game
opened with the high school kicking
to "scrubs' who received the ball
and were held by the H. S. two short
gains for two downs and fumbled in
the third the H. S. coping on to the
ball who made few half back and
end runs and then sent Capt. Trieschel
across the line for a touch down be-
hind substantial interference made by
Watzke, Ortman and Torrey. The
second quarter was fast even playing
but no scoring during which Darling
and Pagor done some clever tackling
and Baker, Cooley and Harris made
several nice gains for the Scrubs. -
While for the H. S. SIR done some
stiff tackling. Jimmie the whirlwind,
made repeated gains around left end
and Leuty received a dandy forward
pass at the right wing. which was the
only successful pass of the game on
account of meteorological conditions.
The first quarter of the second half
had no more than commenced until
the Scrubs made subtle criss-
cross to LeSage who made a run
around left end for touch down as
sisted with strong Interference by
Dick Loeff1er. The last quarter ended
peacefully by draw. This practice

School team. 1t brought out the
