sided Game. ::.sss;
The local high school football team
played the st. Cloud high team at the
latter place last Saturday afternoon.
The final score was $50, with Will
mar on the nothing end Of it. In the
first place several reasons caused the
locals downfall. They didn't know
the game was to be played until
some time around midnight Friday.
Then it was necessary to get an auto
and round up several Of the team
who were out hunting. s.... i
When it came time for the train
to leave at six o'clock Saturday morn
ing but nine men had put in an ap-
pearance. One was picked up out at
the junction after the train had
started while two others, Roy Carl
son and Tim Norling were sent out
by freight on the local at z o'clock.
The latter two had oversight and
nearly succeeded. in spilling the.
beans by doing so. 81. .s:,.>+ r.
AS if the absence Of Halle Styles
and Fred Danielson was not enough
handicap for the team, Walter Erick-
son thought he needed rest in or
der to get in shape for the big game
with the Alumni on Thanksgiving
Day, so he very obligingly fell down
the gymnasium stairs and twisted his
ankle, so he was out of it for the day.
That made it necessary to put San
ford Osmundson at fullback and as he
didn't know the signals he failed to
distinguish himself. very much. The
weather was wet and so was the ball
SO open football was out of the Ques-
tiOn. ~->.-.--
The St. Cloud bunch used the "Min-
nesota shift with deadly effect and
seldom did they fail to gain the re-
quired distance. Their forward pas
ses, however, failed to work, as the
man receiving invariably fumbled the
ball. 1t was no disgrace for the boys
to get beaten so bad as the winners
have not been scored on this season
and have won all their games by big
scores. ..

Time Set for Battle.
Weather permitting, the people Of
this city will witness the cleanest,
fastest and most sensational game
OF football ever staged in this city on
Thanksgiving afternoon, Thursday.
Nov. n. :s.
This annual meeting |: between the
high school and alumni teams has
always been an event of general In
$terest because all the members Of the
two teams are Willmar boys. AS q.
general rule most Of the spectators
have yelled for the old timers,pro-
badly because they thought the sup
port was needed as the High School
would win anyway. We have q sort
of hunch that this year things are
going to be different, and the Alumni
this year has at least an even chance
of winning. ~ ss5 :. +.
Should they do this it will be the
first time in the modern history OF
the local school that such an event
has happened. Usually the superior
condition and training Of the school
team stands them in good stead, and
along about the fourth quarter their
wind is better than that Of the Alum
nj. Such was the case last year. For
three quarters the game was close,
the score being 60 in favor Of the
High School, However, in the last.
period the school team scored two
more touchdowns and won out 300.
This year it will be different story.
AT least five Of the regulars to be
used in the game are in training for
the contest, while the other six are.
in, good physical condition. Add to
this the fact that there will be four or
five goods subs on hand, and that all.
those who will take part have at least
two or three years Of football expert
ence to their credit, it can be seen
that the chances for an Alumni vic
tory this year are bright indeed. To
cap all this they will have the bene-
zfit of all the ideas Of modern foot
ball obtainab BILE. Those who are to.
play on the team this year are bent
on making this an Alumni year, and
they have an idea that 1913 is the
year to turn the trick. With John.
Feig and Viggo Larsen, two Of the.
best and fastest tackles the local
school has turned out, a line that will
prove invulnerable to the onslaughts3
