giving Day by Score Of $40.
Once again the Alumni football
team defeated the high school team
in the annual Thanksgiving Day
game, and for the second successive
year the losers failed to cross the goal
line. The final score was 800. The
game was really harder fought than
the score indicates, and had the high
school team stuck to old style foot
ball, and been content to gain slowly
but surely thru the line, instead of
trying so many forward passes, they
would have undoubtedly Jared better.
1t was an Intercepted forward pass,
early in the second quarter, that turn
ed the tide of battle. For the Alumni
Carlson, Hanscom and Nordstrom
bore the brunt of the work, both on
the offensive and defensive. The for
mer got away several times for good
gains around the ends, and Hanscom
did great work at bucking the line,
and handling the forward pass, while
NordstrOm was always good for gain
and was, as usual, terror on defense.
These three did the most work and
team
For the high school, the work of
Walt Conway, right tackle was SEN
sational at all times. He was always
in the thick Of the fight and his tack
ling was Of the best. A close second
to Conway, was Flop Johnston, at left
end. He was great at the forward
passing game and his tackling play
was fierce at all times. Pedersen's de-
fensive play was good, while Yarrow
and McEnroe were the most consist
ent ground gamers for the losers. The
play in detail: A west wind gave the
west goal the preference, and the
Alumni chose to kick, with the wind
at their backs.
