::Heady Playing by Schuyler
Enabled Grand Forks TO
Win Game.

FOOTBALL map when the local. high
school team stepped out Friday after
noon and trimmed Devils Lake to the
tune of Z to o. The teams were even
" matched and every foot of the
game was holly contested.
Grand Forks won the toss and
chose the south goal, receiving. The
local men started off with a rush and
carried the ball to Devils Lakes four
yard line. The Lake7men then took
q brace and held Grand Forks for
downs. The oval was again put in
play on Devils Lakes fourteen yard
line. A heavy rain then caused the
game to be stopped, the ball being in
the possession of Grand Forks on the
12-yard lire. r.
Devils Lake came back, strong and
held the local men for downs. Nc
Elderly. for Devils Lake punted the
ball out of danger. The hard strug-
gle then commenced:. The field was
wet and. slippery, as was the BAH,
making end runs and forward passes
practically Impossible. Straight old
fashioned football was resorted to by
both teams with the result that the
ball remained in the center of the
field, neither team having the advan-
tage.
Grand Forks only and winning
touchdown came in the last quarter
when a series OF line smashes placed
the ova in their possession on Dew
Ills Lakes 25-yard line. Schuyler
called a pass formation, but he FUN
bled n h ball went 10-yards be-
hind him. He made a quick recovery
and passed to Reed. who tore across
the line for the only counter of the
game. Schuyler kicked goal. s
BackieId Strong.
The Grand Forks backfeld was the
surprise of the game. Despite the
fact. that they were in a crippled
condition, Schuyler at quarter and
Boo at left half played the entire
game.s Both men hit the line hard
and were powerful on the defense.
Doyle at full played a steady game,
backing up the line on the defense
in fine shape and charging like a bull
on the defense. Reeds exceptional
speed showed UP well on the few end
runs that were tried. Several times
during the contest he carried the ball
for several good gains around the
extremity Of the Devils Lake line. His
defensive work was good and, al
though usually useless as interfer-
ence, did good work Friday in getting
opposing players out of the way.
Line Showed Up Good.
The Grand Forks line showed con-
siderable improvement in the game
yesterday. The center Of the line
was practically impregnable and Dew
ills Lake made but one gain that
amounted to anything around end.
The line was very poor on the offense.
Time and time again Kelly, center
and Naugle. guard, both for Devils
Lake, smashed through and nailed
the local backfeld men in their
tracks. The Grand Forks tackles
played a good offensive game, but
were very weak on the defense.
in his usual.feEHa although, he starred
for the%Devils Lake elevengbys making
several good gains. and playing a
brilliant defensive game. The condi-
ton of the field hampered his run
ming greatly, as he is an adept in art
of tearing holes in the air via the
hobnail route and greatly to be feared
once started. Elliot at quarter made
several. gains through the inc and
showed UP well OF the offensive.
