East Grand Forks high lost to Graf
ton Saturday by a TO score after the
east siders had outplayed the heavy
Walsh county eleven in every de-
partment of the. game. The Mime
sotans gained almost 100 yards more
than the Grafton players, worked
from twelve to fifteen forward passes
successfully and ran rings around
their opponents after the first quar-
ter. but bonehead plays at critical
times lost the game and the east side
nigh met their first defeat of the sea-
son. Three times East Grand Forks
had the ball inside the Grafton Ave-
yard line. Once they fumbled: once
they We're penalized. the other time
the Grafton men put up a clever de-
Tense and held.
Lukkason, the east side end played
stellar football, but made a mistake
that cost the game. After n series
OF brilliant passes and plays the ball
was run from n end of the field to
the other by the east siders. Then
another forward pass was called. Lux
kason was behind the goal line; no
received the pass squarely in the
arms, but dropped it and prevented
the tieing of the score.
Some Wrangling.
There was considerable wrangling
by the players and the crowd which
was about evenly divided. was rather
unruly. Several times the officials
disagreed and once when no rule
could be found to v the point in
dispute. a coin was tossed in order
to have the matter settled. Several
of the east side team after arriving
home blamed the officials for losing
the game, but those who saw the
game were of the opinion that buck
ever at the critical moments lost
out for the Polk county Warriors.

Good Game.
The game, on the whole. was a
clever exhibition Of high school foot
ball. While it was married by some
little features, nevertheless both teams
played hard and at times decidedly
last n some real football was not
infrequent. A notable feature Of the
game was in the. third quarter when
Grafton gained but six yards and East
Grand Forks negotiated Ill and still
failed to score. In the last five min
utes of play the cas- side midgets ran
the ball from the Grafton five yard
line to their own five yard line with
four trick plays and forward passes
n then fumbled.
\. big delegation of east siders were
at the game to cheer the team on.
Following is the detailed play and the
