Willrnar High Quint Will Journey
To St. Cloud For Second
Game of Season

The second game on the schedule
for the Willmar High School quint
will be played at St. Cloud on Friday
evening of this week. The St. Cloud
High boasts of strong five this year
and have already defeated the Mora
quint in a game at St. Cloud by the
score of 25 to Is. This was their first
game.
The locals go to St. Cloud with one
victory of II to 0 over Minneota but
must show better class and more skill
in the game to make a run for the
honors Friday evening.
On Saturday, December 18th, they
play Delano at Wi!lmar. Ordinarily the
w. H. S. would not schedule two
games in succession but it found it
difficult to get in five games which
must be played with District teams
before the locals can enter the cham
pionship finals. Naturally the locals
are hoping to play the winner on the
Buffalo line. December 21st the quint
plays Kerkhoven here and hopes to
make it double game. AS yet it is
not known whether the Kerkhoven
girls will come or not.
