Willmar High School football eleven
as it set out upon it's first venture of
the football season at Glencoe and
Old Sol kept beaming thruout the day
seeming to share the spirit and for
tunes of the team. The Glencoe squad
was doomed to it's second defeat Sat-
urday having lost to Hector the Sat
urday previous by the bark-tight score
Of 13 to IA. On Saturday however
they failed to show up as we'll and
were deprived even of the scoring
privilege. The score at the conclud-
ing whistle blast was 400 in Will
mars favor.
Fifteen minute quarters were play
ed with an equal period between the
halves. The first touchdown was reg
istered in the first quarter and to-
wards the end of that period. Goal
was safely kicked making the stand
ing 70 in Willmar's favor. In the Sec
ond period the locals scored two
touchdowns but failed to kick goal
after the second one. The half ended
with the rating in Willmar's advan-
tage. Score 200.
The last half of the tussle opened
with another planting of the pigskin
between the goal posts but a failure
to boot it for safety. The last half
produced two more touchdowns but
the goal-kicker didn't guide his foot
accurately and the additional points
were lost. The score however was
we'll fattened by the six touchdowns
which were made with ease whenever
the locals concentrated their efforts
into actual business. The opposition
was weak and it's signal work was
much inferior to that of the Willmar-
ties. The boys from the w. H. S. al
tho perhaps still lacking much in fam
iliarity with the signals and having
many other faults which must be cor
rected and obviated, showed up we'll
and Coach Trebilcock stated that af-
ter some constant and devoted prac-
tice he expects his team to gain fur
ther victories. Being that the open
ing game is means towards discov-
ering and locating the weaknesses in
any team the coach was optimistic in
that the "soft spots" were very evi-
dent and the method of remedying
very clear. The game brot out the
fact that the eleven has yet much to
do this season before it assaults
stronger teams but an encouraging
beginning has been made neverthe-
less. The coach denied the boys their
new jerseys until they improve their
playing.
Every man of the fifteen taken a.
long was given an opportunity to
show his wares and as a result many
of the subs distinguished themselves
and some shifting of men on the line
will be made in the near future. The
game opened at 2:30 and required full.
ly two hours and half to play it Off
Wholesale wrangling and disputing
over rules and plays repeatedly halt
ed the game. Glencoe attempted the
minnesota shift" but~were unable to
make it operate successfully. The
linemen for Willmar plunged promptly
into the clash from the start and ex-

store for the locals and a greater test
of their endurance and skill.
