DEVILS LAKE GOOD TRIMMING
With Crippled Team Wison Easily Defeats the Devils Lake
High School Team and Wins Clear Title to the State
High School Championship

Last Friday afternoon the Willis
ton football team met the Devils Lake
eleven on the latters ground and fin
ished victorious by score of 81 to
20. At no time was the outcome in
doubt but for a time in the End and
3rd quarters Willistons crippled back
field played carelessly enough to al
low Devils Lake to score three touch
downs, two of which were of the
lucky kind. Williston scored early
and had the game nicely tucked away
before this however.
Jaynes, Left Half Tor Williston was
injured in the play for the first kickoff
and was replaced by Mcdonald. Kulas
and Gorden were both in very poor
shape to start but were used through
the whole game, Kulas doing the bulk
of the work.
Mcdonald, playing at Left Half for
the prettiest run of the game when
the first time, did very we'll and made
he carried te ball on an off tackle play
and ran so yards evading about half
dozen Devils Lake players. After
he broke into the open field he easily
ran away from crawford of Devils
Lake who was following him and is
supposed to be their fastest man.
The first three passes Williston
made went for touchdowns, twas there
nothing scientific about that Devils
Lake, Two, Scott to Bruegger and
the other Scott to Greengard. They
tried two passes after this both being
incomplete.
Devils Lake started about twenty
passes and completed eight, CThe lat
ter we're scientific, the others were
hard luck), Two of which resulted in
touchdowns. The first of these was
intercepted by "a Williston halfpack
but it bounced away from him into the
arms of Devils Lake End and he
raced 40 yards for this touchdown.
The End touchdown came after a Will
iston man fumbled the ball on an at
tempted dropkick on the ten yard line
and Devils Lake got the ball. A pret-
ty catch of a forward pass by Husegan
gave them a second score.
The last score came at the begin

Lake got the bali in the center of the
field on tumble, and pretty for
ward pass and run carried the ball to
the five yard line and then over. !
Williston scored in every quarter
and lost two touchdowns. One when
Scott fumbled on the one yard line
and second when te half ended with
Williston in possession of the ball on
Devils Lake third yard line.
Devils Lake was forced to play an
open game as they were unable to
gain through te Williston line. How
ever they did make two or three good |
gains off tackle.
Williston intercepted many of the
Devils Lake passes and made good |
gains that way. They had no trouble
making ground by carrying the ball !
through the line or off tackle. and
only twice were they held for down,
and by the way. this wa sthe only
time they had been held for downs
this season.. The 'Williston line play
ed its usually good game, both on
offense and defense, Bruegger and
Greengard doing especially good work.
The loss of Jaynes weakened the team
both on offense and defense consider
ably. It did, however, weaken the de-
fense more because it caused several
changes to be made and the men were
