The high school football team won
their first game of the season Monday
afternoon wnen they defeated the Nor
ris Aggies. q to 0. The game was ex-
ceedingly slow. and produced little
spectacular football on either side The
Agsies were fairly heavy. but they were
very slow and knew very little about
the game. They depended entirely on
line bucks for their gains, and the only
time they seriously threatened was in
the last quarter when they worked the
ball up to within reasonable distance |
from the goal line, only to lose it again
on downs. Their line did cause a lot
Of trouble, off and on during the game,
| by breaking thru and splitting Willmar
plays before they got a good start.
Qu1tney at right half back was the best
ground gamer on the visiting team
For Willmar Edmond Nelson was the
most consistent ground gamer among
| the backs. He was good for anywhere
| from to % yards most any time he
carried the ball. Mint Lundquist fur
nished one thriller when he circled the |
Aggies right end, and lodged his way
past the secondary defense for a 40 yard |
| run, netting the third touchdown. He |
was ably assisted by Erickson who fur
| nished some nice interference.
kleVe played whale of a game on
getting thru and splitting the Aggies |
| backs before they were started. He and
| t. Nelson also made dandy captures OF
forward passes accurately heaved by
Osmundson, both resulting directly in
touchdowns. The Willmar bunch SEEM
ed unable to get going with their usual
pep. and should have been able to run
up larger score. They were at a dis
advantage, with their open play, owing
to the fact that side wind made it
| difficult to pass any great distance
Capt Nelson Of Willmar won the toss
and chose to defend the south goal
Morris had the north goal and received
