GET AWAY TO A BAD START
Large Enrolment. But Scarcity Of
Football Material Shown
The high school enrolment has
now gone over the 12O mark for the
first time in history. The registra-
tion of several pupils this week boost
ed the number to the new record.
In spite of the record enrolment,
Coach De La Hunt has been having a
strenuous time in attempting to build
up a winning football machine. A
number of last years veterans quit
the squad with cold feet when the
competition for places on the regular
team was keenest at the beginning Of
the present season. Scholastic diff
culties have broken into the team also.
In the LaMoure game last Friday
several of the regulars were out Of
the lineup, and it became necessary
for Coach De La Hunt to use num-
ber of green men and switch some Of
the regulars to positions they were
unused to playing. The result was
that the team work was so badly brok-
en- up that LaMoure gave the Oakes
eleven decisive trimming, $40.
While the score was all one way, the
game was by no means walkaway
for the gridders from up the Jim.
Captain Roney had his old rabbits
foot along and won the toss as usual,
choosing the east goal. LaMcure
kicked off and Oakes worked the ball
up the field to LaMoure's 2O-yard line,
Captain Roney and Nepstad carrying
the spheroid most of the time. In the
shadow of their goalposts the La
Moure line stiffened, and took the ball
on downs. After a few plays that
netted about six yards, they fumbled
and an Oakes man fell on the ball.
During the rest of the quarter the
ball was worked ineffectively up and
down the field, winding up in Cakes
possession on their own IS yard line.
Neither side had been able to score,
though Oakes had made three first
downs to LaMoure's two.
At the beginning of the second quar-
ter Oakes was forced to kick Roney
dropped back for punt, but Gustaf-
son had sudden outburst Of energy
and heaved the ball way over his
head. Before any Of the Oakes men
could throw themselves into reverse to
go back and get the ball, Duden, La
Moure's star, had beaten them to it.
and with no one between him and the
Oakes goal had an easy time scoring
the first touchdown. LaMoure missed
the goal. The battle again seesawed
until late in the half, when LaMoure
broke through the lighter Cakes line
and blocked a punt, recovering it, and
Juberg going over for the second.
touchdown. This time they kicked
goal. The half ended with the score
1870, with four first downs to Cakes
credit and three to LaMoure's.
During the intermission Coach
Sproul fed his men on raw beef and
cayenne pepper, and they came back
on Oakes with fire in their eyes and
breathing dire threats that more than
limited at murder. One of them STEP

plexus with high degree of accuracy,
and Bert spent several minutes in the
contemplation Of astronomy. Various
other minor casualties also ensued.
but the principal casualty was to the
Oakes team work, which disappeared
entirely from the field of battle. La
Moure gained nearly at will, Duden
and Juberg brothers taking turns at
carrying the ball around the end or
smashing through the lighter Cakes
line. Before the timekeeper's whistle
mercifully sounded, they had put over
four touchdowns, counting three goals
from the four kicks.
The final quarter started out as a
continuation Of the third. LaMoure
added two touchdowns and two goal
kicks. Then Oakes began to stiffen.
Gustafson found hole in the La
Moure line and nearly wore it out 60
ing through to tackle from behind the
man with the ball. In the last four
minutes Of play it was Gustafson who
stopped three out of every four Of La
Moure's plays. The final minute Of
play found the ball in LaMoure's pos
session on Cakes one yard line. La
Moure put on every ounce Of steam
to smash over, but Oakes fought back
desperately and had just won the ball
on downs when the final whistle blew.
During the last few minutes of the
game q most heart-breaking incident
occurred. Cakes had held LaMoure
for downs and had the ball. Bert Ha-
eel was called for smash through
tackle. He found a hole, lodged the
backfield and raced seventy-five yards
for touchdown. The heart-breaking
part was the discovery that the referee
