the last half when they played a
fast, snappy game.
The line held like stone wall and
Wausau made very few gains through
it.
Wausau made all it's gains by for
ward passes. The Rapids line could
not be punctured for any substantial
gains and the ends killed practically
every thing coming their way be

game.

ing the game and played the posi-
ton good He showed remarkable
ability in getting down under punts.
Coach Brown has been paying par
ticular attention to the work of the
