Their Nerve and Put Up Par
ticularly Bum Fight.
The Princeton football team
journeyed to Anoka last Saturday
and got such vigorous twist put in
their ambitions by the Anoka war
riors that they really did not realize
what had happened until the "cold
gray dawn of the morning AFTER"
Princeton was playing out of her
class when she took on the Anoka
team for game and the players,
coach and management we're looking
for defeat at the hands of the larger
school, but no one had nerve enough
to predict that Princeton would be un-
able to hold the score down to
respectable limit. AnOka has been
played in other years, and although
never beaten by Princeton, still they
have been held to tie score, and in
other games we're forced to exert
themselves to the utmost to get the
large end of the score, but in Satur-
days game it was one continuous
romp up and down the field, and the
touchdowns and goals came so thick
and fast that the Anoka roofing
brigade got all out of breath when
they attempted to count the score for
the benefit of the crowd. Anoka has
fast, heavy line, a veteran back
field, a heady quarterback and
lightning fast pair of ends who were
also deadly tacklers. However they
have got their bumps this season also,
having lost to St. Cloud and Me-
chanic Arts high school of St. Paul
by lop-sided scores. Rut they struck
their gait week ago Saturday, when
they beat up the Humbolt high school
of St. Paul 18 to 3, and evidently they
had reached their home stretch stride
when they encountered the orange and
black, for they simply swept the
Princeton defense off the field. End
runs were pulled, off that were always
good for from yards to a touch
down, line smashes went for the same,
and when they got tired of scoring
on this kind of football they opened
up with series of forward passes
and trick plays and also blocked one
of Princeton's punts for touchdown.
Princeton played a little real football
in the first two quarters and held the
score down to a respectable limit, but
when "Casey' Stay was sent to the
side lines with wrenched shoulder
the stuff was off, and the team became
utterly demoralized and failed to
show the first rudiments of good foot
ball. It was a sad, sad day for the
orange and black and the score, 66 to
0, goes down into local football
history as one of the blacklist marks
ever chalked up against the local
school.
Anoka was never really in danger
OF being scored on except in the
second half, when Vern Kaliher re-
ceived the ball on the kick off and
tore through the whole Anoka team
for run Of go yards and almost a
touchdown, but fleet-footed Anoka-
ite overlook him from the side and
for lack of interference the speedy
little halfback was brought to earth
just at the moment when things
looked exceedingly bright for a
Princeton score. This sprint put new
life into the Princeton players and
for a few brief minutes they displayed
some real football, but it was only
flash in the pan and the game soon
resumed it's old form with Anoka
scoring almost at will.
NOTES.
The Anoka crowd showed good
craftsmanship by roofing for the de-
feated Princetonians during the close
of the game.
The only live rooter Princeton had
was Cliff Gotten, who, in his excite
ment, forgot that he was a former
Princetonian, and rooted for the
Anoka team.
The play was clean throughout, and
although "Casey" was put out of the
game with badly wrenched shoulder,
the accident was not due to any rough
work on the part of the Anoka
players. Anoka played good, clean
football and played the game fast and
hard.
At this writing the football situa-
tion at the local school is pretty much
up in the air owing to the lack of
material and injuries to the men who
are out with the squad. At present
Princeton could not put team of IL
men onto football field unless &C.
companied by corps of doctors and
