EAST SIDE MEN
WERE DEFEATED
Grand Forks High School
Football Team Won In
ter-eity Championship.

The football game on the university
gridiron this morning between the
East Grand Forks and the Grand
Forks high school teams resulted in a
defeat for the former by a score of
IL to o. During the first quarter of
the game things looked rather bad for
the Grand Forks squad. After the
first few minutes of play the East side
punted and Wells, the west side quar-
ter. fumbled on his own fifteen yard
line.
On a fake kick, the ball was taken
to the five yard line. Here the east
siders were held for downs and the
Grand Forks men succeeded in grad
ually working the ball away from their
goal. The first quarter ended without
any score n the ball was in the
Grand Forks territory nearly the en-
tire period. /, The east side men played
better ball than their opponents dur
ing this quarter, but in the next the
Grand Forks boys went into the game
hard and were successful in securing
a touchdown on a forward pass from
Wells to Elton. The pas was for over
twenty yards and was very cleverly
handled. Henry failed to kick goal.
After the score Grand Forks kicked
off and the ball was returned ten
yards by the opposing side. The first
half ended without any further points
being made by either team. Both
teams played a good scrappy game
during this period.
In the third quarter the east side
kicked to Grand Forks and Dryden
returned the ball twenty yards. Soon
after Wells tried u pass TO Henry at
right end, but it Was incompleted.
Henry then punted over the east side
goal line. On a punt Grand Forks
secured the ball and Wells made an
other forward pass to Elton at left
end, and he wen over the line for the
second and last touchdown of the
game. Henry kicked goal, making
the score Is to o.
Grand Forks kicked off again and
Mayer returned the ball twenty yards.
h east side tried a pass, which was
not completed, but on the next play
six yards were made on another pass
from Mayer to OLeary at left end.
Grand Forks took the ball after the
next play and Henry attempted a drop
kick, but it went wide.
Henry intercepted a forward pass
by Mayer and made several yards.
Ferguson funbled on a fake place
Kick, and Cotton fell on the ball on
the east sides fifteen yard line. May
er attempted another pass, but it fail
ed to work. During the last few min
utes of play the ball remained near
the east side twenty yard line. Dry
den intercepted a pass and soon after
this the game ended With the score
still 13 to 0.
The East Grand Forks men played
a splendid game of ball throughout
and We're very scrappy. but their OPP
ponents have had a little more ex-
perience. Not only did the east side
boys play a strong game. but they
were good, clean players. They fought
all the time and must be given credit
for being true sports. Outside of a
few personal on the side
lines everything went along very
smoothly. Mayer at full and Bank
at right half and Cotton at guard We're
the star performers for East Grand
Forks. The teamwork Of the east side
squad was very good. Halvorson at
left half played a steady game.
For Grand Forks, Ferguson and
Kneupfer at halves played strong
games and made long gains when Civ
en- the ball. DRYDEN at full displayed
his usual consistent game. Wells at
quarter played IA heady game, and,
outside of a tumble, his playing was
faultless. Henry and Elton at ends
were the two men to secure the touch
downs on passes, and their defensive
work was first class. The punting of
Henry was of the best features of
the game. The Grand Forks linemen
all worked we'll. especially when they
held their oponerts for downs on their
own five yard line.
