ball By Fine Exhibition of
Modern Game Saturday

oOh III bhC AOIIA h45h 5IAAOOA W0o
played Saturday with Milan on the
Morris field. Not until the second
quarter did the Morris lads come in
to their own and from then on 1t
was mostly passes, M. Johnson to
Stoneburg for anywhere for a twenty
to forty yard gain, and If Stoneburg
couldn't make the touchdown, Capt.
Johnson would. Each made two.
Schroeder was long on kicking goals
from placement after the touchdowns
and made three, one being blocked
by Milan. The final score was 27-0
in favor of Morris. 49,.
Thus ends an eventful season for
the high school. Too much praise
can scarcely be given Coach Stelter,
who had an uphill fight all the way
with inexperienced material and no
second team +. to practice against.
With players and school old in tradi-
tion and football knowledge picked
up on the back lot, it is comparative
ly easy to throw team together,
but the Morris kids" have not gen.
orally grown UP in a football atmo-
sphere. :.-

viewpoint on the side1ines.
