BESSEMER Gets
A BAD BEATING
Large Score Piled Up Against
Visiting Team
Michigan Team Outplayed in
Game Here Last Satur-
day Afternoon.

1t kept the foot ball fans busy
last Saturday trying to count the
score in the foot ball game played
between the Bessemer, Mich.
and Washburn high school teams.
If ever a team was given a beat
ing Bessemer came in for their
dues, and had it not been for
an intercepted forward pass dur
ing the last three minutes of the
game Bessemer would not have
a score to their credit.
The game was called at about
three o'clock and from the very
beginning the Washburn bunch
demonstrated their superiority
at playing over the Michigan
boys. They seemed to score at
will, whether the plays were line
bucks, end runs or forward pass
es, although the latter did not
seem to work as satisfactorily
as the old time foot ball tactics.
From the very first of the
game the score began to pile up
against Michigan and before the
game was half over the half
hundred mark had nearly been
reached. Convinced that the
game was an easy one for the
locals the managers of the team
gave all players an opportunity
to play against the Bessemer
boys, but the result was always
about the same.
Washburn managed to make
seventy-six points before the
Bessemer boys were able to
score. Just before the close of
the contest Washburn attempted
a forward pass which was inter-
cepted by a Bessemer player who
with clear field before him out
distanced the Washburn runners
and carried the ball over for a
touchdown. The ball was car
ried from Washburn's thirty-five
yard line down the entire field.
The try at kicking goal was sue
cessful, netting the visitors
seven points.
In the game with Bessemer
the Washburn team demon
strated that they had learned
much since their game with
Ashland. Several men on the
team had been changed to differ
ent positions which netted much
improvement in the team. The
boys charged the line much
better, were better on defense,
and were adept in getting the
ball in case of a tumble.
In open playing Washburn has
some things to learn. The for
ward passes were attempted at
too long distances with the re-
suit that many attempts failed.
This will be corrected.

The team owned by Victor
Bergquist and used in the milk
business took it into their heads
to run away on Monday after
noon and milk bottles and milk
was scattered along the street
for considerable distance before
they was finally stopped. The
milk wagon was badly de-
molished but the team was not
injured in the least.
