Leroy Is, Cresco o.
The foot ball game last Satur-
day went contrary to expectations.
The Cresco team went into the
game overconfident, and as a re-
suit they received good drub-
bling. As we look back now we
can't figure out why the score was
MT 80 to 0 instead of 10 to 0. lie
Row has an exceptionally fast bunch
this year. In fact, she has the
same team that Cresco barely de-
feated last year. The Cresco team
of this year is made up of new
men, all Of whom are small but fast.
We have been relying on our
speed to win games, but Saturday
one would have had to have a mi
roscope in order to have discovered
any speed in the team. Our line
held remarkably we'll. 1t was our
back field that was woefully weak.
All of us remember the sensation
al runs that were pulled off last
year. Saturday there was only one,
by Davis, who received the ball on
a delayed pass. The boys have
been coached to play the open game
but due to stage fright or some
thing akin to that, they tried to
make their gains smashing the line.
Needless to say, no gain was
made as the LIE Roy team out
weighed us about ten pounds to
a man. The defeat Saturday was
undoubtedly a good thing as the
bows will now practice and train a
little more consistently. We go to
Usage Saturday for one of the hard
est games of the season, and If we
can get our back field speeded up
there is no reason why we can't
win the game Kakac is probably
one of the best open field runners
in this part of the state. Davis and
Donegan can play their positions
fully as well. But so far there has
been a lack of playing together.
Saturday they made no interference
at all and they were always tackled
and thrown for l. loss. Theis week
it is hoped that these defects Will
be remedied and if we can get Sor1-
ben out to practice the boys Will
put up a strong fight.
Cresco high school has for some
years belonged to the Iowa State
Debating League. They are enter
ing this again this year and are
doing so with strong hopes of Win
ming. The question for the debate
this year is, Resolved, that all
corporations engaged in Interstate
commerce should be required to
take out federal charters, it being
conceded that such requirement
would be constitutional and that
federal licenses shall not be an al
tentative plan" This is good
question and one much discussed
at the present time. We have many
good debaters in high school this
year and with the support Of all
good school boosters we are sure
they will do their best to win this
| debating championship for G. H. S.
There are about ten students en-
tering to try out for the team.
