and the ball was not returned more
than few yards as they we're downed
after making short run. The first
quarter was very exciting from start
to finish. Their large back field did
not make the runs they expected to
but instead they run it back couple
of yards. Our line showed the stuff
they were made of. The first half
ended 0 to 0 in our favor. 1t was in
the first quarter of the second half
that the fireworks were started.
Torrey went thru for touch down
after some great gains by the other
two backs. 1t was this quarter where
Morris showed what they could do
when it came time to hold them on
our five yard line. This quarter end
ed s to 0 in Morris favor as the wind
prevented goal kick. The last
quarter was the scene of our second
touch down when Torrey smashed the
line thru for another touch down not
caring whether or not he had his
sweater with him. Don't you care
Pewee? The wind favored US this
time with goal. The final score
being ID to o. Our peroxide blonde
was there like rubber duck when it
came to getting thru and passing the
ball at center. Don't you care Wick?
Remember that Saturday is your
opportunity to see this team work,

School at the fair grounds. Alex
andria has reputation that is known
by all as this promises to be a great
game. Game called at 2:3O at the

The games at Benson were certain
ly score in our favor! And Morris
ought to,be proud of the H. S.. teams.
The basket ball game was called at
] 80 and latest court rules were used
six on side. From the, first, the
better playing was evident and even
Benson cheered US on our team work.
Morris got the benefit of foul right
after the ball was put in play and
Milly fairly dropped it in. At the
end Of the first half the score was 5
to 2 in our favor-Benson' 2, being
gained on fouls. The second half
was much faster and neater play
could not have been witnessed. The
ball started at our left guard and
passed thru all six hands on our side
and landed in the basket! At the
end of the second half The" score was
/ g to 6 in our favor. sa"~ ~
/ The crowd left the school grounds
for the fair grounds where the foot
bali game was played. The game
was called at 3 80. Benson received
the ball on the kick cff-in fact every
time; but our team was down almost
as soon as the ball was gathered up
by one of our men.
The game was an exciting one as
no one got away-and it looked good
to see their men run the ball back on
their end-runs for loss more than
gain. This seemed to "get their
goat for we had them going from
the start. Our line certainly held
stonewall' and there were some
swell gains made by our backs. We
tried some forward passes but with no
effect as the wind carried the ball
away from our ends. Thus, the first
ha'f ended nothing to nothing.
The second half is where our men
cut loose, and Tory went across the
line for touch down after we worked
it down by our off end and tackles.
Then they got the ball to our FIVE
yard line and we held them the four
downs and we got the ball and worked
it Down the field for another touch
down-Tory again ripping them up.
We we're ready to take up a collec-
tion to get Peewee another sweater
but we see he's got another. We
, made the goal kick adding one more
point making it ID to 0 in our favor,
Pappy you are certainly there wher
it comes to getting those big fellows
, all alone. But team, don't YOU fee
