The second half was scoreless,
but Wentworth had the ball in
the collegians territory all of
the time. In this half Went
worth's center uncorked several
bad passes, which lost them 85
yards of perfectly good terrific
ry. This half was also featured
by the completion Of several
forward passes, Bradfeld to
Taubman, for thirty and thirty
five yards. Taubman was pick
ing them out of the air sur
rounded by the enemy. But
then a bad pass or some other
form of .bobble would turn up
and all this ground lost. M. V.
just couldn't advance the ball
by any route, and Wentworth's
brilliant work was so sandwich
ed in with the bad that they
could not score.
Wentworth's defensive work
generally was all that could be
desired. The line held well with
the exception of a few inter
walls, when M. V. would hltei
thru for short gains. The cole.
gian's, too held well, but they
were played to a standstill in the
second half and only the bob.
bles on the part Of the cadets
saved them from a good trounc.
ing. Bradfeld's handling Of
punts was faultless. He never
failed to make a substantial re
turn, and one time ran 55 yards
before being forced outside.

week had almost the same en-
rollment-187.
The increase in the high
school enrolment makes more
obvious the need of a new high
school building-a building with
more class-rooms, an auditori-
um and a gymnasium. Expan-
sion is difficult under the pres
ent circumstances. So urgent
is the room problem this year
that a Latin class and one His
tory class have to use the do
nestle science laboratory for a
classroom, The assembly room
is crowded. More space is need
ed, too, to adequately care fol
the library. Other conditions
could be cited to show the need
of more commodious quarters,

WENTWORTH 7; M. V. c. 7
WentwOrth's BObbles UndOubt-
edly Saved The Visitors a
Good TrOuncing.

Wentworth and Missouri Val
ley College battled to a III tie
Friday afternoon on the A
cademy field. The game was in
teresting thruout and many a
chill resulted from the misplays,
such as fumbles, poor passing,
and mechanical slips in forward
passing. Wentworth, as usual,
was outweighed and, out-aged,
and that expresses the superla-
tive Of the collegians superiori-
ty, Wentworth had everything
else and should have defeated
their opponents easily. But,
nothing counts but the score
except that Wentworth showed
possibilities of a fast and ag-
gressive team far beyond the
opinion of those who saw them
in their first game. The polish
ing process will go along with
experience and when Coach Wi
koff developes safe and accu-
rate offensive center and a lit
tie more wisdom in the quarter
back, look out.
The game started as all foot
ball games do, by the kickoff.
This was done by Wentworth
and the college man was nail
ed in his tracks. The first play
resulted in a tumble and then
Nj. V. punted. Wentworth tried
one play and then punted. The
FIRST play of M. V. was smother
ed and again they punted. w.
M. A. then made five yards, one
yard, and then Bradfeld un-
corked a gain of fifteen yards a
ound end. On the next play
faey were panalizea fifteen
yards, and were compelled to
punt. M. V. couldn't gain and
punted on the second down,
Bradfeld returned the ball 35
yards before being downed.
Clammer then plowed thru for
five yards and then for two
The next two attempts were
