Football Games of Friday, Oct. %.
The Milton Union football teams,
first and second, competed with our
teams last Friday afternoon at the Ed
gerton City Park. An excellent game
was played by the four teams, but the
superior line work of the Edgerton
teams resulted in Milton not crossing
our goal line. The backs on both of
Edgerton's teams made long gains
around Millions ends, and the line
smashing of these same backs was ex-
cellent.
If any feature of the game was out
standing, it was the work of Edwin
Schmidt at end, who did stellar work
at forward pass catching. Thorwald
Guinness seemed able to make 6 to 10
yards at will through the line, while
Laurice Spike had no difficulty in going
off tackle for many gains. Adolph
Johnson played his usual strong game,
both at offense and defense. The sub
stitute backfield was used during all of
the last half of the first team game,
and Claude Whitford at quarter ran the
team in his usual easy manner. A num-
Der of men took time out but no one
was seriously injured. The games were
clean throughout. Not penalty was
imposed on either team. This is the
kind of craftsmanship we are pleased
to have. The spirit of the two schools
is excellent and we look forward to
many years of good feeling between
the two schools.
The scores of the two games were:
Milton second, O.; Edgerton second,
26.
Milton first. O.; Edgerton first, 20.
