Forward passing, two fluke plays
and heavier team gave North Cen
trail high school the victory over the
Moscow high school at the fair
grounds yesterday afternoon before
fair-sized crowd The visitors
played a plucky, uphill game from
start to finish and at times were
dangerous through the speed of their
backfield but the north powerful elev-

undoing.

North Central punts was the con-

downs. On the first kickoff the Mos
cow men could not get their hands
on the ball in time to prevent Ber-

the line for the first sore, following
three line plunges from the 20-yard
line, where the ball was recovered.

the North Central team by their
speed and made things unpleasant by
their ability to find holes in the line
and make gains around the ends. The
old sleeper" play was worked once

son, the Moscow right end, while the
North Central crew were intent on
the line, and the forward

North Siders, while Henry in the line
showed himself to be strong pivotal

surprising strength in getting thru
