drop-kick, but it went wild.

| drop-klck, but 1T went wild.
Roget tried three more drop-kicks
during the game, but none went any
where near the goal. He also made
repeated attempts to circle the end
again, play that has run up big
scores against southern conference
teams this season, but he was thrown
for loss more often than he crossed
the scrimmage line.
Morgan and Murphy Star
Morgan played brilliant game at
right end and was continually being
cheered by the home fans. La Crosse
depended largely on Reget's speed,
and the quarterback sure had it, but
Morgan was one of the great factors
in making Reget's speed ineffective,
either mailing the racer himself, or
taking out all his interference. Once,
on a high punt, Morgan was twice
blocked, and vet downed Roget. Va .,,o-
out a gain. Murray, at left tackle
shared line honcas with Morgan, his
work .S1e,ng of varsity rating and a
big factor in River Falls stonewall
defense.
River Falls showed the greater pow
er in the line, Clapp, Murphy, Otter
son, Chinook, and Bliss showing to
decided advantage over their oppon-
cnts. Gurnoe was the star of the
backfeld, his defensive work being
exceptionally brilliant. Quinn, Olson,
Smith and johnson shared honors al
most equally with the other stars of
the game, coming through with clever
work whenever called upon.
Roget was the La Crosse star, and
he showed the most speed ever seen
on a local gridiron. He was danger
Gus at every moment, and only the
superior defensive work of the Red
& White prevented him from repeat
ing the brilliant records of his pre-
vious games this season, in which
his long end runs have been the fea-
ture.
Fine Officiating
A great deal of credit for the spec
tator's enjoyment of the game was
due to the officiating by Pettijohn,
who kept the play going at top speed
all the time, and whose presence on
the field was known by the players to
demand clean playing or penalties.
He was ably assisted by umpire Nit
chell, headlinesman Cameron, and
timekeeper Peterson.
Title Game Tomorrow
The final game of the northern cir
cult race will be played here tomoF-
row, when the Stevens Point team
comes up to battle for the title. Stew
ems Point has a great record this sea-
son, and it's 10 to win at Superior
last Friday indicates that tomorrows
fracas will be a battle royal from
start to finish.

Then came the inspiration of max

The long green slope from the Po-

banners of the black gum and scarlet
