The second Benson game played here

score in favor of Willmar. twenty-five

the cold weather and the slippery condi-
ton of the football field. Willmar start
| ed the game with four regulars out Of
| the lineup. This weakened the team
considerably but in addition to that the
boys failed to play their usual snappy
| game. Benson on the other hand played
| better than usual and was ready to pro-
| tit by all the mistakes made by the Will
mar team. Archie Carlson and Herbert
| Hengstler ofhciated. This was the last
home game Of the season and we wish
| to thank the people of Willmar who
