Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1921-10-13
MINERAL POINT 21, MONTICELLO o
The Black and Orange Shuts Out the
Heavy Blue and White.

1t happened last Saturday afternoon.
At 2:30 both teams entered the field
confident and determined to win. Des-
pite the cold weather the crowd was
quite large and the air vibrated with
enthusiasm. Monticello, with a heavy
line and back field, depended mainly on
line bucks and succeeded in breaking
through the Mineral Point line time
after time Mineral Point played a
varied offense, using three shift plays
and fast forward passes. On the de-
Tense Monticello showed its strength
in the line to splendid advantage, and
gains through it were next to imposs-
BILE except on mass formations.
The game showed clearly the need of
a varied offensive and the advantage of
the forward pass over the old line buck
ing tactics. For Monticello the two
half backs were the luminaries, while
for Mineral Point White, Phillips, Stair
and O'Niell did exceptionally well.
THE GAME BY QUARTERS

Second Quarter With the ball in her
possession Monticello started slow but
steady march down the field on short
line bucks. Mineral Point fought hard,
giving mp foot by foot. With the stu
alton looking bad for Mineral Point,
Coach Klampe injected some fresh men
into the lineup, replacing Walker at
guard and Schill at full with Polking-
horn and Dunn. At the five yard line
the team took brace and held its OPP
ponents. Here the work of Dunn and
the back field on supporting the line
Z serves praise. Mineral Point now
took the ball on the five yard line and

teams grinding teeth. The ball changed
sides several times with nothing event
