FOOT BALL
NORMAL SUFFERS FIRST DEFEAT
AT CHIPPEWA. SECOND TEAM
WINS AT GALAHAD

The Normal grld1ron warriors
ran up against snag at Chippewa
Falls last Saturday, losing to the
high school team of that city by a
score of II to 0. The high school
boys outweighed the pedagogues
several pounds to the man and this
fact was largely responsible for the
home team victory. Neither side
scored in the 6rst half. In the
last few moments of the third quar-
ter Chippewa got over for touch
down on straight line bucks. In
the fourth quarter they added two
more, the first resulting from a
blocked kick, a Chippewa man fall
ing on the ball behind Normal's
goal, and the last one came when
Normal fumbled punt and Chip
pewa man recovered it and went
over for a touchdown. Normal's
lineup was as follows: PIERCE, r..
e.; Raegen, r. t.; Baird, r.g; Sher-
burne, c.; Bliss, |. g.; Cook, |. t.;
Foley, Kowler and Sakrison, l. e..
Keith and Dopkins, a.; Bergh, r. b !;
Condit, |. h.; Moser, f. The Nor
nal team will go to New Richmond
next Saturday to play the high
school team of that city.
The Normal second team went to
Hudson Tuesday afternoon and ad-
ministered Il to defeat to the
Galahad eleven. The Galahad boys
we're somewhat lighter than the
pedagogues but put up a plucky
game. Their offense was consider
ably faster and better executed than
Normal's, but the Normal defense
was excellent and kept the goal line
out of danger and the ball in Gala
had territory during all but few
minutes of the last half, when a
series of forward passes and fake
kick nearly netted a score for Gala
had in the last quarter. Normal
scored touchdown in each quarter.
The first score was made in two
minutes of play, Normal kicked off
and Galahad fumbled in the first
scrimmage, Sakrison getting the
ball and clear field for the goal.
In the second quarter Kowler block
ed punt and fell on the ball back
of Galanad's goal. Dopkins kicked
goal. The score at the end of the
first half of the game was IL to in
favor of Normal. The third quarter
was REPETITION of the first. Nor
NAL kicked to Galahad and Galahad
fumbled in the first Scrimmage,
Cudd getting the ball, and, after
considering the proposition mo-
ment, carried it over for a touch
down. In the fourth quarter Nor
NAL carried the ball to Galahad's
vineyard line on off-tackle plays.
The attempt to score on third down
nearly resulted disastrously on &C.
count of a tumble, but Burrows re-
covered the ball and squirmed
through the line for the last touch
down The final score was Fl to 0
in favor of Normal. The Normal
lineup was Sakrison, r, E.; Cudd, r.
T.; Ginsbach, r. g.; R. Chinook, c.;
Fuller, |. G Shaw, |. t.; Dopkins,
e. Burrows, q Kowlar, r. h.; Ward,
/ h, Olson, f. b.
