himself to be of varsity calibre by in
tercepting a Nashua pass and running
so yards for touch down. From
that time on the game was walka-
way. The work of Marshall on de-
tense and Carroll, Cap. Jones and Paul
Jones on offense featured the game.

The last game Of the season was
with Decorah. another team with
clean slate. Although the bad wealth
er previous to the game had interfer-
ed with practice and made the field
slippery, which handicapped our
speedy backs, we were able to defeat
them 20-7. In this game Clemmer and
Korbell played the best defensive
game, while Culbert, Jones, and Bar
ker showed up best in offense. De-
corah had two of the best back field
men that opposed us this year in
Thomas and Glesne. In this game
eight Cresco men played their last
game with the High School.-Bawden,
Even Jones, John Jones, Korbell, Bar
ker, Mead, Marshall, and Scholz. These
boys have all played at least two years
on the High School team and their
loss will be keenly felt next year, but
in spite of~this the prospects for next
years team are very good. For the
back field the most promising material
is Rathert, Powers, Miller, Paul

G. H. S. FOOTBALL TEAM.
'Champions of Northeastern Iowa Win
Every Game.

Cresco High School closed its most
successful football season Thanksgiv-
ing Day, when they defeated their old
rival, Decorah, 20-7.
Everyone expected that this years
team would be good one as several of
last years veterans were in school,
but (under the efficient coaching Of
L. r. Fields) the boys surpassed all
expectations.
The first scheduled contest was with
New Hampton, SO every effort was
made to arrange practice game and
finally Preston was brought here to
Try out the formations Their team
was Light and rather inexperienced,
so the locals had no trouble In running
up a good score. Cresco used q men
In the game and in the last quarter
Preston was able to slip touchdown
over on the second team. When the
tinal whistle blew the score stood
eresco 3s-Preston Z.
New Hampton was played next, and
the boys were primed to wipe out the
sting of last years defeat. Their
team was heavy but could not cope
with the light, shifty locals who broke
away in the second quarter for three
touchdowns. In the last half several
substitutions were made and New
Hampton scored on forward pass, in
the last few minutes of play. This
game showed the potential strength of
the local team. Moldenhouer showed
up especially we'll OH defense, while
Culbert picked forward passes with
mid-season form. Final score 1876.
The next week the team defeated
Fayette 400 in game which was
much harder than the score indicates.
After being held 90 in the first quar-
ter, Korbell intercepted pass on
Fayette 30 yard line and a long pass
to Ratlert made the first touch down,
Probably the most exciting moment of
this game came when Rathert ran 81,
yards for II touch down, through the
entire Fayette team. John Jones
made the only drop kick of the sea-
son from the 2S yard line just, a few
minutes before the end of the first
half a.%aE eya,s- s.s

CRESCO. HOWARD COUNTY; IOWA, FRIDAY 1920

The next game with Waukon was
an easy one. The second team played
the entire second half and acquired
good experience which will be Of value
to them next year. Score 40.
The boys went into the Charles
City game expecting to have to fight
to win as Charles City had played a
tie game with Waterloo and had beat
en- Cedar Falls. The first quarter was
played in the rain and the slippery
field handicapped our light backs, but
nevertheless we were able to get away
with the large end of 25-O score.
The game was rough and hard fought.
Bawden's defensive work stopped
many of the driving attacks of-tbe
heavy Charles City back field.
The next game was played on the
home gridiron against the heavy i.u-
ther- Prep team. It was a battle from
start to finish, the first half being
scoreless. The second half the local
lads opened up and the first score
was made on 3 pass to Bawden who
made pretty run of 25 yards for the
touch down. The real thrill of the
game was Jack Jones run Of 80
yards through the entire Luther
team. The defensive work of Burgess
in the line and Mead at full was
largely responsible for holding Lu-
ther scoreless. Final score. Cresco 20.
Luther O.
The big game of the season was
played at Usage under ideal football
conditions. About $50 rooters accom-
panied the team and were we'll repaid
for their trip. Although we were
only able to beat them 60, We had the
ball on their yard line several times
while they were never closer than 20
yards to our goal. A great deal of
credit should be given Cap. Jones for
the way in which he handled the team.
Usage was out played and out-gener-
aled in every department of the game:
1t was this game that gave Cresco
real standing in. the state as Osage
was able to score two touch downs
against Mason City while our line
made their attacks absolutely futile
Barker and Carroll in the line with
Bawden and Culbert on the ends
broke up play after play before they
could even get started.
r. The next game was played against
Nashua on the home field and wo,t 400
John Jones was out of this game

TWO SPORT LEAGUES
FOR INDIANA GUARD

INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. 1.-Two ath-
letic leagues for Indiana's new nation
al guard, with an inter-league series in
baseball. basketball and football. are a
part of the guard organization program
of Adjt. General Harry B. Smith. One
league will include the teams, repre-
cnting each of the guard companies
in the southern half of the state, and
the other will be composed Of those
representing the northern part.
The program, designed primarily to
attract enlistmentS in the guard, will
bring a new factor into the state
sporting circles, and the championship
games between the winners in the
leagues will be played in this city.
Besides the teams in the three big
sports. it is the plan of General Smith
to hold an annual track and field meet
in connection with the annual summer
mpment. Boxing and wrestling
also will be encouraged by the holding
of district and state meets.
The bringing to the fore of the
athletic feature says General Smith,

|. u. Loses Fiue Varsity
Men by Graduation Soon

BLOOMINGTON. Ind, Dec. An
diana University will lose five varsity
foot ball men who helped the Crimson
attain it's high rank in the Western
Conference during the 1920 season.
Four other members of the squad. who
won their letters. will also graduate.
Notwithstanding the loss of these nine
men. there is considerable optimism
regarding the prospects for 1921.
Coach Z. o. Stiehm, who will re-
turn as football mentor, has been look
ing forward to next year and has at
tempted to develop some players to
replace those who will graduate
Coach Stiehm will have the fill the
places of the following seniors on his
regular team: Risley, left tackle; Min
ton, left halfback: PIERCE. center;
MUMMY, left guard; and Mathys. guar
terback. He Will also have to flnd
men to take the places of these sub
.stitutes: Lorhei. center; Faust. quar-
terback; Boggs, guard: and NonTress,
tackle.
In the back field Stiehm has these
players left for next season: Full
back Kyle, whose line smashing plays
have been a feature of every Indiana
game: McGaw, right guard of this
season. who will be back to fill his
place in the line, and Hanny will
again be available for right end. With
this trio as nucleus, Stiehm believes
he can put together winning combi-
notion

would add considerable danger to the
passing side, in that many of its safety
men would be drawn down the field
expecting a pass, and in case the ball
is blocked only a limited number
would be availa bic to tackle the one
making the recovery.
Five Men Eligible
Five men are now eligible for the
pass, but if a change such as proposed
should be made one man would have
to be held in reserve as a protector
Four men might be as effective in
grabbing a pass as five, but it is open
to doubt.
Coaches, fans and players all admit
that the kick" has been taken out
of the kick after touchdown with the
bringing of the ball out to the 15yard
line directly in front of the goals
when the 1920 rules were drawn.
The cry from all quarters is not for

out from the goal line, before the

time The exact thing to do is what
is bothering most everyone interested
Only a few games were decided by
this narrow margin this year. Notable
among these was the Undergraduates
game which went to 7 for Illinois
Chicago failed against Ohio State
letting the latter win to 7. How
ever, next year every coach in the
country will have man in shape to
plug away at the goal posts all day
without missing a try, and the number
will be greatly reduced.
Three Suggestions.
Three suggestions, as they have
been gathered from most parts of the
country, seem to hold the lead over
any others.
From several sportsmen in the mid
die west come the suggestion that the
ball be brought out to the 40 yard
line and a drop kick attempted di-
rectly in front of the posts. This is
meant to develop more good drop
kickers, but several weaknesses in
this plan can be seen.
Another is to bring the ball out di-
rectly in front of where it crossed
the goal line, and a place kick at
tempted.
The third, and most radical is that
the kick be abolished altogether. The
action of the rules committee on these
Integral parts of football will be
