Great Game Against Morris
Team Last Saturday.
Showing reversal Of form that far
exceeded the expectations Of their
most loyal supporters, the local high
school football team defeated the
speedy aggregation from Morris last
Saturday afternoon, in a one-sided
game The final score was $50. =
With the exception Of short time
early in the fourth quarter, the locals
were never in danger Of being scored
upon and they had things pretty much
their own way. At the start of the
last period Morris received the kick
off and on a series of line plunges by
the backs they carried the ball
straight down the field to the ten yard
line, only to lose it on downs. The
backtield men, Ormand, Outman and
Captain SIR, did most of the ball car
rying and during this time they tore
the heavier Willmar line all to shreds.
However, they couldn't keep it up.
The first play Of the game nearly
resulted in touchdown for the visit
ors, too, as SIR 'got lost" and had
clear field for touchdown, as he slip
ped by Aim, who was playing safety.
Yarrow, however, caught him from be-
hind and prevented the score.
The work of the high school team
in this game was revelation as they
played with snap and vim that had
not been shown in any of the previous
games The victory is all the more.
glorious as four Of the regulars were
unable to take part in the game as
they were not up to grade in their
studies. Even with these four men.
out of the line, the locals line out
weighed the visitors altho the back
fields were more nearly of equal
weight. =<~.. e. -z
This victory has put lots of pep
into the practice Of the boys, and this,
with the added incentive of winning
letter if taking part in games should
prove 3 big help to the team. g =,
We have contended all along that
tie material was there, and If the
team could once get going it would be
hummer. This seems to have been
attained at last and now they should
wade thru the remaining games with
ease. Even the victory for the Alumni
team that has been predicted may not
materialize. If the boys play as good
game on Thanksgiving afternoon as
they did last Saturday, they should
win, or at least make the game the
most interesting that has ever been
played here. b.. !: ..s=
It might be a good idea for the mem
bers or at least certain members of
the high school squad to keep away
from the Alumni bunch when they
pratice. These pratices will be linn
tied in number anyway, and the least
that can be expected will be for the
members of the team to keep away.
It has always been the practice in the
past for the members of the Alumni
team to work without any interfer-
ence. ... .s.... ::
The game last Saturday was devoid
| Of any features. The locals scored Is
in the first half and added to it al.
most at will during the rest of the
game. An interesting fact was that
they were not forced to punt once
during the entire game, altho once Or
twice it seemed to the spectators that
the play warranted a kick but it was
not tried, and as it turned out, the
kick was not needed. =
Occasionally a forward pass worked
for fair gain, but on the whole, most
of the gains were made by Walter Err
ickson on straight line smashes and
on end runs by Holt and Cramer.. u.
| Altogether the game was good one
from a local view point and the boys
have entered into the practice this
week with spirit that bodies ill fol
any and all opposition. With the reg
ulars back in the game again thi!
week the team becomes more formid
able than ever. ..
