SEASON ENDSlNA
BLAZE OF GLORY
SAUK CENTRE HIGH SCHOOL
FOOT BALL TEAM "ARRIVED'
WITH A VENGEANCE. Il
MORRIS AGGIES THE VICTIMS
CAPTAIN LEE PLAYS STERLING
BALL WITH EVERY MAN
ABLY ASSISTING, .

Early in the season it was stated in
these columns that the High School
foot ball team was coming, and the
hope was expressed that it would
"arrive" before the season closed.
That hope was fully realized last
Saturday when they trimmed the fast
Morris Aggies 26-O and had the
break of the game been with them
the score would easily have been
doubled.
Sank Centre kicked off to the Ag-
gies who were forced to punt imme-
diately. Trick plays for the locals
with Hopkins carrying the ball to the
20 yard line from where, using the
Minnesota shift, Tanner went over for
touchdown. On this play Tanner
sprained an ankle and was forced to
leave the game.
The Aggies chose to receive the
kick but were held and punted. Hop
kins was hurt and forced to retire,
Benson taking his place. Gamradt
made the second touchdown on SEN
sational 60-yard sprint around right
end. Caughren kicked goal, making
the score 1870. With the game prac-
tically secure the locals gave an ex-
hibition of the aerial game that be-
wildered the opposition. Lee receiv-
ed long pass from Brophy and ran
40 yards before being tackled on the
one yard line from where Brophy hit
the center for another touchdown.
This ended the scoring for the first
half. When the Aggies quarter fun
bled punt early in the third period
Frank O'Gara picked up the ball and
scurried across for a touchdown, but
for some reason the ball was called
hack and given to Morris. While the
score was not counted it showed that
Frank was right on his job, which is
what counts.
Although there was less scoring in
the second half, the game was, if any,
thing, more interesting. Caughren in
tercepted one of. the Aggies passes
and aided by Gamradt, whse interfer-
ence reminded one of Hauser, travell-
ed about 40 yards before being down.
ed. Again Paul went around left for
30 yards and later, to demonstrate his
versatility, caught long pass from
Brophy for a 80 yard gain.
The only score of the second half
came when Capt. Lee intercepted
long pass and went across the line af-
ter so yard run. Capt. Lee play
ing his last game, though suffering
from painful shoulder, a relic of the
Anoka game, covered himself with
glory. He tackled the opposition for
many yard loss and was at the re-
ceiving end of most of the successful
passes.
Dewey O'Gara as a tackler was a
regular INDIAN" and fully upheld
his recently acquired reputation Of
being the 'best tackle that ever play
ed on the Ahoka field"
Gamradt was whirlwind, both on
offense and defense and with Brophy
at full, could be depended upon at
all stages to more than do his share.
In the few minutes Tanner and
Hopkins played, they demonstrated
that it was fortunate for Morris that
they left the game. They are the kind
of players that bring joy to a coach's
heart. ---
The other members of the team
played sterling foot ball from whistle
to whistle.
It must not be implied that Morris
has weak aggregation. Their team
is heavy and we'll trained. They OUT.

have struck this wear. Their backs
hit off the tackle like rockets and fire.
quently made dangerous gains but
could not deliver at opportune times.
Their ends were weak, on defense.
and the locals were too brilliant for
them. A cleaner or gamer bunch Of
players would be hard to find. The
result of this game clearly demon-
strates the local teams contention
that they can beat Glenwood in a
fair game, inasmuch as the Aggies
gave Glenwood. 90 trimming two
weeks ago and then received a 26-O
beating from Sank Centre.
NOT A sLACKER. -
