kicked off. Tony Marshall caught
the ball and made a good run. The.
man who stopped him was hurt and
sub had to be put in. Crescos had
to punt, but soon recovered the ball
on a tumble. Tony and John Long
made some good line plunges and
Cresco seemed to be showing the ball
along nicely. A Preston man was
hurt again and Preston minute
later got the ball on a tumble. A.
Preston man got around our end for

The whistle blew and the game
was over. Cresco added one more
game to her list of victories.
The boys deserve great credit for
the game Friday. Preston thought
sure she would win as their goal line
had not been crossed this season.
Preston has won from such teams
as LIE Roy, Rushford. Spring Vail
ley. Rochester and Owatonna. The
Cresco team played the best game
that we have seen in the last four
years. The team work was great
and that is what won the game.
Preston. too, has great team, al.
most as good as ours. Both teams
showed careful coaching. Preston
tried more open plays than Cresco
but our boys broke them up easi-
ly. Rathert was told to open up
just in one quarter and it took our
breath away to see the boys so down
the field. Preston tried 81 forward
passes and completed four. Cresco
tried four and did not complete any
The spread plays did the work.

room Monday night, Nov. %, at
