The Twin Falls high school has rea-
son to be proud of its foot ball team
in the clean, hard fought game played
last Saturday against the older and
more experienced men on the Albion
Normal. Although the only score made
went to Albion, yet comparison of the
play for the whole game shows that
Twin Falls out-played it's opponents at
nearly every stage of the game. When
Twin Falls visited Albion and lost by
score of SO, it was with the know
ledge that it had played better game
and the one touchdown of the Normal
had been made by accident. In the
Saturdays game the same thing oc-
CURED when Girdner's kick was
blocked and the ball carried short
distance for touchdown, and Twin
| Falls again took the small end of it.
Saturdays game, attended by
large number of ex-collegians and
| football experts, was conceded to be
for the first half, the snappiest and
| fastest game ever witnessed between
| high school teams. Both teams were
playing fast game, the ball being
snapped and the plays started with
| speed that was equal to varsity work.
In the second half, although both were
| still making a game fight, the pace
| through we'll timed throws.
Albion with almost perfect interfer-
ence, was making good gains around
the ends by boxing them, but lost on
every line buck which she attempted,
and was usually forced to kick after
making some yardage. All through
| the game the visiting team through
some of it's members, should have
been penalized for holding, dirty tack
ling and hurdling, all of which was
overlooked Forward passes were at
tempted by both teams, frequently the
locals making some very heavy gains
through pretty passes
The first quarter resulted in no
score, with the ball being confined
mostly to the center of the field. AL
though several spectacular runs of
twenty yards were made by each side.
In the second quarter the only score
of the game was made by Albion, who
had advanced the ball by end runs
and forward passes to Twin Falls f1f-
teen yard line, when the line held and
the ball went to Twin Falls. One at
tempt was made to advance on fOrma-
ton play and then the signal given for
kick. Girdner received the ball,
but was delayed second for the kick
and the delay was fatal. An Albion
man broke through and blocked, the
ball landing a few feet from the goal
line and was carried across. The Wis
itors failed to kick goal and the quar-
ter closed with the ball in the center
of the field, although Twin Falls made
desperate effort to get a touchdown
in the few minutes left to play.
The second half showed the visitors
playing their end runs for some gains
through clever boxing of the ends, but
which resulted in no score, although
at one time a field goal from the
twenty y-five-yard line came very near
E ly netting them another score. Twin
Falls at all times was able to make
