Saturday the Wausau team jour-
neyed down to Stevens Point and
played the strong and experienced
Point football team to TT tie. Since
the Point had defeated Marshfield at
Marshfield the previous week, they
were considered as having the best
chances at the Valley Championship.
Wausau put up good fight but not
as good one as they showed against
the Rapids team, and are now consid-
cred serious contenders for the cham
pionship. The game was featured by
great defensive playing on the part
of both teams. The Pointers. mostly
Experienced men from last years
team, were unable to gain through the
Wausau line during the first half and
were forced to punt on the fourth
down time after time. On the other
hand Wausau could make little pro-
gress through the Point line but were
able to gain considerably because Ed
wards outpunted the Point man by
good margin. The third quarter
Wausau seemed tired out and the
Point was able to plunge right
Through 60 yards for their touchdown.
After that Wausau braced up and held
them better even threatening their
goal line. The game in detail follows:
The Point kicked off and Patterson
returned to the rs yard line. Wausau
failed to gain and punted Is yards.
The Point made few short gains and
attempted drop kick which went a
little bit wide. Wausau took the bal,
on the 20 yard line, and punted. the
Point fumbled and Wausau recovered
the ball. Wausau tried passing and
gained s yards on two attempts but
were unable to make the other two
yards and the 1all changed hands.
Wausau was twice penalized for Off
side and the Point gained yards
through the line and then tried anoth-
er drop kick which failed Wausau
took the ball on the 20 yard line and
lost IT again because of inability to
gain first down. The Point tried a
third time to make drop kick and
again failed, Wausau taking the ball
on the 20 yard line. A putting con-
test then followed and Edwards out
punted Krembs until Wausau gained
the ball on the Point 80 yard line.
Wausau lost on downs and the Point
attempted to pass. Sargent, a Fresh
man, playing tackle, intercepted it
and ran % yards for a touchdown.
Murchie made successful drop kick
for the extra point Score: Wausau
Z, Stevens Point 0.
Stevens Point kicked off and Quandt
returned the ball to the 40 yard line.
Several unsuccessful attempts to gain
were made and the half ended.
Wausau kicked off to the 20 yard
line. The Point failed to gain and
punted. Wausau could not make their
downs and the Point took the ball BY
straight line plunges and three five
yard penalties for offside because the
Wausau men were too anxious to get
at them, the Point team plowed down
the field for touchdown. They were
successful in making a drop kick for
the extra point and thus tied the
score at TT.
The Point kicked off but made a
luke kick which hit Alton and bound
I'd back so that they recovered the
pail in the middle of the field They
JAILED to make their downs and Wau-
Bau recovered their punt. Wausau
then started down the field for a
touchdown, Quandt making a Is yard
gain and the other backfield men max
ng short gains. Down on the 20 yard
inc they were held for three downs
