was always good fer gain. Erickson
and Hahn made much ground on their
short passes. Erickson spoiled many
Of the opponents passes by reaching
up into the air and pulling them down:
just as a Benson man was ready to re-
ceive it. Hahn not only gained ground
when needed most but also ran the
team well. -, :: =. :.

kle and Giloran at, right guard played
a good game and caused the =Willmar
