struggle between Old Sol and Jupite
PIuvius, Coach Smiths high schoo
gridiron eleven won their initial game
of the season when they defeated
Brynstad's Luther College team, 81 t
O. Considering the weather condi
tons a fairly good sized band of foot
ball enthusiasts witnessed the conflict
That the high school lads blanked Tho
college team, was only due 10 then
superiority. Throughout the entire
contest they played rings around
Brynstad's men and at no time did
they give the college squad a chance
to score.
Tom Carey, Smiths sensational left
half back proved the star of the game.
Carey made three OF the six touch
downs during the game Judging
from the manner in which he perform
ed Saturday, he will be the star of the
high school eleven 1t was nothing
for him to tear through the p V. l.. c.
line for gains of from five to twenty.
five yards at a time. He evidenced
the fact that he has the punch and pep
needed by player to make good
After he had scored the three touch
downs, he was withdrawn from the
game by Smith, due to the fact that
he has a bad knee Rather than have
him injured any further. Smith re-
placed him by Bobby Carr. who later
on in the game played quarterback
for short spasm.
Besides Carey, Brick" Farrell the
other haifb2ck that Smith banks on
as good conner, showed the football
fans some real class and tore through
the opposing lire almost at will
Despite the fact that he didn't get a
touchdown he made some handsome
gains throughout the contest and
aided his team very much in handing
the college club a defeat
FulI0ack lfeckenstock also display
ed exceptionally good talent At
various stages Of the game he ham
mered the Brynstad line numerically
and besides was responsible for two
Of the high school tOuchdowns
But the lad who no doubt is going
10 make his fellow teammates hump
some to keep up with him. and who
really did pull some sensational field
runs in Saturdays game, was Phil
Schoch. Schoch didn't get into the
affair until towards the last, but when
he did, he showed Coach Smith that
he bore the earmarks of real gridirOn
star Schock made several nice open
field runs. netting gains of from 10 to
30 yards at various stages of the game
Another lad who promises to be q
star is Johnson. Johnson was put
into the game at halfback in the final
quarter Of the game. He wasn't in
there FIVE minutes until he had taken
the ball on two occasions and scored
a touchdown He pounded Brynstad's
line and crumbled it like nothing,
Besides these men mentioned, every
one Of Smiths team played good ball.
Their fine showing was the result Of
some exceptionally heavy drill and
scrimmages they have been going
through They are husky and have
the weight, and no doubt will make a
championship team this year.
On the other hand Brynstad's team
is q bit green at the game yet Never
theless they showed a fine brand of
fighting instinct and didn't give up
until the final whistle had blown

Mcintyre. fuilback, Truman Varland,
right half and Frank Munson at left
half, proved the looming lights of the
college team With some good tough
