stood TO in their favor.
1t appes red as if this seemingly
swift onslaught was but an incentive
to the home boys for greater endeavors
for at once they got increased nerve
and winning spirit. The Alexandria
players however, appeared to be spent
after their brilliant effort, for ar once
they commenced to breath fast and
perspire, of course this may have been
due to their extra supply of padding,
as some of them looked more like
advertisements of certain padded
clothes. which we love to wear.
The play was on again and this
time the ball was downed by Alexan-
dria after one man had run about 10
yards. We rapidly made our downs
again and again until a touch down
was pushed over the line. The ball
had no sooner been put into play and
carried few downs by the Alexandria
boys and mark you the downs they
made were few, for they lost the ball
to our side repeatedly. Then quick
as wink the signal was called and
down the field like a shot out of a
gun, was Watzke with the entire
Alexandria team trying to overtake
him. They failed to do so by many
yards, because by the time they
reached their own five yard line
Watzke was between the goal posts
ready to bid them welcome to our
city.
Sherwin was next in line to slip
one over on them and they tried every
way to down him, even to attempting
to put him out by dirty play. This
they failed in and soon Darcy was
welcoming them home.
TriescheI got sore at the boys now
because they wouldn't let him make
a touch down so in order to make him
happy he boosted the Alexandria be-
padded ones out of the way in every
direction and calmly walked around
in back of the posts, and asked them
if he could do anything for them in
the medical line.
By this time all our boys were
clamoring to make touch downs and
everyone scrambled for the ball but
Trieschel and Ortman had fixed it up
between themselves to let the latter
have the job, SO Ortman steals around
the Alexandria end and Trieschel
makes the finest pass of the season
which Ortman at once gobbled up and
with case walked around the back of
the posts and increased the score some
more.
The visiting team had at the be-
ginning demanded that we play ac-
cording to college rules Is minute
quarters-we were willing to do so
but after the first half they begged
US to reduce the time to 10 minute
quarters. This we did begrudgingly
but as long as they were visiting US
and you know we ought always to
treat company nice. so OF course we
consented, but my what a difference
there would have been in our score
had they played 10 minutes more.
Why the score would have been 80 to
instead of what it was.
This goes to show what sick look
} ing bunch Alexandria was when they
: went home. Why do you know deal
reader when they entered our felC
and saw our boys. who were incidental.
Iy, not so heavily padded, they want
ed to know from some of US if oul
. mothers know that we were out
] We only said one word-"wait!" enc
J they waited, but say their song was
so much different when they left the
! field that-oh the discord was pitifu
to say the least.
Our boys go to Breckenridge next
: Saturday and week from that or
Nov. 9th, they play Benson on the
home grounds. Come out and see the
. game! 1t will be dandy, and be-
sides it's the last game in the season
and it's your last chance to see some
playing that you otherwise spend time
) and money in going to the cities t.
? see and then it isn't the same because
here is where you see your own boys
2 do the brilliant plays.
Don think that the games will
7 all be as one sided as Alexandria
game, because they simply stepped
D out of their class when they wanted
s to schedule game with team lik'
Morris, because they are a class b!
themselves. -
Was it one? Nol!-Was it two
No !-Oh This is too strenuous
s Oh! You Poor Loosers! III
