The Twin Falls high school football
team scored its third victory of the
season by winning from its old rival
Bull high, last Friday, in the hardest
fought game of the season, by the
score Of 10.
Last years defeat, at the hands of
the same opponents was well remem-
bered by the local boys, who were de-
termined to even the old score Meth
er team had lost a game this season,
and both were anxious to maintain the
standard
The grounds were In ideal condition,
and the boys were in splendid form,
after week of hard practice. A close
game was anticipated, and none were
disappointed, as the game proved to be
one of the hottest contests held within
recent years on local grounds.
Bull won the toss and received the
ball, returning it to their thirty yard
line. Then in a series of hard line
plunges they carried the ball almost
to the Twin Falls goal, before the
local boys awakened and held the ag
gressors for downs on the ten-yard
line. Upon gaining the ball, the Twin
Falls boys returned it almost as fast
as it come by several end runs, in
which McCracken made splendid
showing
During the rest of the quarter the
ball was carried to all parts of the
| field and to within a few yards of the
goal lines, neither team heing success
full in registering a score. J'uhl at
tempted a goad from the field but a
tumble placed the ball in the BOSSES
sion of the local boys. The quarter
ended with the ball far from either
goal, and the game scoreless.
The second quarter was largely a
repetition of the first, each team MAX
ing furious, but futile attempts to car
ry the pigskin over the goal lines. A
touchback was made by Twin Falls in
the latter part of the quarter, which
ended soon after without score.
Twin Falls received the ball at the
beginning of the second half and re-
turned it to their thirty yard line. At
this point both teams apparently had
equal chances of winning as they
seemed evenly matched in weight and
endurance. Thus far the play had
been largely line plunges and end
runs, which were fairly successful. In
the second half the Bull quarter re-
lied largely upon forward passes for
recovering lost yardage but they were
intercepted in almost every instance
by local players. Twin Falls held the
westenders for downs again and car
ried the ball toward the opponents
goal with a rush. Holderman, who
played right half, tore some big holes
in the line by furious plunges. With
the ball on the twenty yard line, Bal
ley, the husky left tackle, made huge
gap in the Bull line, through which
Neuman plunged for a touchdown.
Neuman lodged and straight-armed
the entire Bull backfield, while Twin
Falls went temporarily crazy. Neu-
man also kicked goal. A few minutes
later the quarter ended with the score
10 in favor of the local school.
The last quarter opened with Bull
: fighting gamely to overcome the lead
pressing the local team a number of
times, forcing them to punt for safe
r ty. Forward passes were used more
successfully during this period of the
game but at no time did they prove
dangerous. The Twin Falls team adj
> vanced the ball to their opponents
+ ten-yard line, at one time, but failed
to make yardage by a few inches, and
Bull punted to safety.
With but a few minutes to play, the
visitors came back strongly and
threatened several times to even the
score Holderman picked a Bull pass
out of the air at this period of the
play, and escaped for thirty yards
Soon after, Neuman performed the
same feat and made practically the
same gain. A moment later, the whis-
tie brought to a close, one of the hard
est contested games of recent date.
