In the Kaplan and Baird bout scheduled for the initial open-air show next Monday night at the State Street Casino, O'Connor sees a great fight ahead for Park City fans.
 That boy Kaplan is surely a conner.

BENSON D0WNED
in GAME SUNDAY
Visitors Banked and Outplayed in
Game Ending
20 too

The Benson Legion team proved to
he no match for the snappy Willmar
team when they were defeated by
Sunday afternoon. A large crowd,
both of Willmar and of Benson, were
on hand to watch the contest.
Willmar made her first touchdown in
the second quarter when E. Nelson
ran for Is yards after receiving a
pass from Erickson. Odell failed to
kick goal. Sandin made the next
touchdown in the third quarter on
line buck and off tackle play of 5
yards and Grace added the extra point
by plunging thru the line in scrim-
mage. Erickson made touchdown
during the last period on an end run
and Odell kicked goal thus making the
score 90 to 0. Sandin did the kicking
work.
The Willmar team was better on the
defensive than their opponents and at
no period of the game was their goal
in danger of being crossed by the blue
and white visitors. Erickson played
good game at fullback making many
line plunges which were always good
for few yards. His passing also was
good. E. Nelson at right end was
valuable man. On a pass from Erick-
son he gained 40 yards for Willmar.
Sandin and Grace, the two halfbacks
also gained much ground. both thru
the line and by end runs. Pat Conway
and Norling played heavy game at
tackles. Hahn at quarter kept the
game going and played his usual good
style of ball. The linemen prevented
the Benson players from gaining very
much by upsetting their plays before
getting started. They also opened up
the holes in fine shape.
Wil!mar showed superiority in all
departments Of the game. Benson
completed but one pass. Her leading
men appeared to be Engelson, tackle,
and Share, center. The Benson ends
were easy to get around. Benson punt
ed a good deal. Willmar however re-
turning every one of them.
Leslie Grace, injured in list quarter,
but returned in second half. Willmar's
second string men showed up fine.
"A feature of the game was the one
hand interrogation of forward pass
by Walter Erickson for Willmar.
Benson appeared on the field spick
and span in new uniforms.
Benson suffered some due to her
fumbles while Willmar was guilty Of
3 or such errors.
Much time was taken out by both
sides due to injuries and the hot wea-
Their which made it very hard for the
men to play.
