The high school football team lost
he opening game Of their season last |
Saturday at Montevideo. by q score
81 ~ to 6. The game was q hard test
Tor the inexperienced and green team
the school Of this city
and while they came of second best
In the score, they earned for them
selves nothing but praise from the
whole Monte crowd, who freely ac-l
knowledged that the Willmar bunch
were the gamest losers who have ap-l
peared at Montevideo in q long time. |
The winners have a we'll balanced |
team, all the men being about the |
same size, and the team as whole |
averages between 157 and 100 lbs, so |
it can be seen that the light team sent
against them did we'll to hold the
score as it was. Showing absolute i'm
partiality, Montevideo scored one
touchdown and kicked goal in each
of the four quarters, while it was not
until the fourth quarter that Willmar
managed to get man across the goal
line. Then it was with the aid Of that
time honored trick Of but any how
it was q time honored trick. Art Linn

bed a long forward pass from Nelson
defense, fifty yards to the goal. Con.
way failed to convert the goal into
another point for his team.
The winners relied mainly on old
style football, using the Minnesota
shift to a great extent, but trying but
few forward passes during the course
of the game. One Of these was sue
cessful, one was blocked by Conway
and the rest were incompleted. Will
mars pony backs, Stockwen and Lar
son, showed up well, managing to
wriggle thru the line for short gains
time and again.
On the defensive game Otto Kuntz
put up crackerjack game, and taken
as a whole the boys are not In the
least discouraged. The line showed to
poor advantage a good share of the
time, the Monte backs sliding off
tackle for good gains.
Walt Conway, Art Limperich and
Edmond Nelson failed to catch the last
car on the return trip, and as result
were forced to spend Saturday night
and Sunday with friends at Monte.
video and Granite Falls. They re.
turned Monday morning from the lat.
ter place.
Paynesville will undoubtedly play
here on Saturday Of this week and this
should be good game for the locals
to pen up at home on, as the Paynes
vile team is about even up with Will
mar on the weight proposition.
On Saturday the 10th, If present
plans go thru, St. Cloud will play in
this city. The Sanity city bunch
haven't the crack team of former
years, but still manage to turn out
eleven men who can hold their own
with anything in this vicinity. The
big game of the local season, will, OF
course be with Litchfield the latter
part of this month.
Here is an echo of the base ball
season of 1915, taken from the Clara
City Herald of last week:
Murdoch defeated Benson a week
ago Sunday by score of 3 to /. This
was the third time these teams met
this season and Murdoch won two out
Of three. Klevyer, Clara City,s bril-
liant third baseman played in all three
games and was largely responsible fol
MurdOck's victories. The first game
he won by his stick work and in the
last game he made two out of the five
hits Murdoc1 made. AS Clara City
i defeated Murdoch two out Of three
this season and Benson overwhelmed
Willmar and the best teams in this
part of the state, Clara City car
