The Denison high school football
team defeated Coon Rapids in one
sided game at the local gridiron on
Friday by the score OF 80 to 0. Foot
ball enthusiasts had been predicting
q close game but they were disap'
pointed in this for it was Denison's
game from the blow of the whistle
until the time keepers called time in
the, last quarter. At no time during
the game did the visitors threaten
Denis0n's goal while the local team
!, pounded their line for big gains almost
at will. 1t was pretty exhibition
OF the game from Denison's stand
point however, and the boys certainly
were playing in fine form.
Denison received the kickoff at the
north goal line and carried the ball
down into the visitors territory where
they lost the ball on a tumble. Coon
Rapids managed to make the first
two downs but were forced to punt.
Denison marched down the field In q
grand offensive and Mof1it carried
the ball "over the top" for the first
touchdown Denison failed to kick
49, nd INn
standing 6 to o.
III the second quarter, the local ele.
ven came back strong and gained con.
sistently but were only able to score
One touchdown when Moffit carried
the ball for the second touchdown,
ending the half IL to 0.
DeiiisOn set their invincible machine
into motion In the second half, how
ever. In the third quarter total
OF &c points were rolled up before
time was called. Captain Finn tore
through the Coon Rapids line for big
gains while McCord, Moffit and O..
Conner made long gains around the
ends. Lehfeldt and Hultsch who were
substituted for Moffit showed up we'll
The DenisOn line held like stone
wall and many of the visitors plays
were dlOwned back of their line. With
NOrelius at center, Broderson and Hol.
loran guards, Strahan and Helsley at
tackles, and Gary and Gebert ends,
Denis0n played a game which was in
reality university style. Lally and
Bassett were substituted in the line
during the game and both made good
shOwings.
Several points OF interest in the
game Friday held the rooters ,atten-
ton. Dixon, the Coon Rapids full
hack, was placed on the third all-state
team last year and his work was care
fully watched. He Outplayed his fell
low teammates and it was evident
from the first that Coon Rapids had
a One-maif team. The big 175 pound
giant had one redeeming feature, and
that was the fight he showed when
carrying the pigskin. On defense and
interference he was woefully weak. In
comparison with Captain Finn the
local full back, he wasn't in It. Films
defensive work and his ability to run
interference stands out In the same
manner he plunges the line. ...
DenisOn has every prospect OF win
Ming the championship of western
Iowa this season and already have
Council Bluffs and Ida Grove worried.
Council Bluffs had member of their
faculty here to see our boys work out
and when asked about the game, he
said Council Bluffs had their eye on
DenisOn and hope to avenge last years
defeat. However we are advised that
the Council Bluffs team IS not as
strong as it was year ago and the
local bows should return with the bacon
B Friday night.
The Ida Grove coach and several
cars of plapers were here to witness
the Coon Rapids-DenisOn game. They
Il too, remember last years defeat anC
are confident they will defeat Denisor
In the Thanksgiving game 10 be played
at Ida Grove.
Marcus McCord, the plucky righ
I half back has developed bad-case o.
water on the knee which will keel
him out of the game the rest Of thu
season. This set back so near the
Council Bluffs game with Lehfeldt
who has been working at half back
on the side lines with sore ankle
puts damper on Denison's chances O
winning the Fridays game with Coun
Gil Bluffs.
