Found Little Comfort in Them

The weather man failed to favor the
onlookers from the sideline at the Lew
iston- -Grangeville football game last Fri
day afternoon. Although a high wind,
and snow and mud hampered the play
ers, Grangeville proved the superior Of
the two contesting teams and piled up
score of 25-12 against Lewiston. In the
early stages of the game Lewiston bs.
came very confident on account Of
lead which was assisted by the adyant-
age of the wind behind their backs,
carrying their punts well down the
field, but soon found themselves fight
ing desperately to hold their husky op-
ponents.
Local Team Improves.
Since the first drubbing administer
ed to Coach Robinson 3 boys when they
lined up against Nezperce, four weeks
ago, the local team has made wonderful
improvements in their playing, playing
Nezperce tie game here in Grange
vile two weeks ago last Saturday, and
outplaying the Lewiston bunch who
heretofore have boasted of a clean
sweep with no defeats.
Hayden and Robinson Classmates.
Hayden, coach Of the Lewiston boys,
is well known in Grangeville and FORM
erly attended school here in this city.
He and Coach Fay c. Robinson
are both graduates Of the U. of I. and
attened at Moscow at the same time.
The work of both men in turning out
spendid teams is creditable. Both be-
ing from the same school naturally the
plays of both teams were somewhat
similar. 49,
Lewiston had some good line plung-
.ers who gained thru the line on a great
many plays, but after Grangeville had
been pushed back for a while, their line
stood like stonewall and prevented
further gains Coach RobiHson . work
showed splendidly in the playing Of
Grangeville, and the boys easily out
classed the Lewiston players in open
field playing. They gained much
ground on forward passes, Of which
} feature of playing Lewiston found
little use and with which they had poor
success. In punting they excelled and
they had good drop kicker.
