ball season with the Ladysmith high
school went to their heavier Opp0-
nents, the Northland College team,
Armistice Day, with a 13 to score.
1t was the best game of the season
and a strongly-contested battle from
start to finish. Though defeated, the
highscheol team showed their mettle
all the way through and deserve
praise for the stiff opposition they put
up. Hurdling tactics practiced by the
college team produced steady gains
when bucking the line yielded little
or nothing. Mitchelfs long run for
touchdown from close to the visitors
goal was the only spectacular play OF
the game. The big crowd of people
present got their moneys worth In
this game.

to receive RadlOff returned the kick
off 10 yards. Mitchell hit the line for

and started series of line bucks
which carried them near Ladysmith's
goal. Ladysmith held for downs and
Mitchell punted out of danger. North
land again resumed their line smash
ing plays and by aid of long forward
pass again threatened to score. This
time they were successful, and went
over for the first touchdown. The

Ladysmith started to show their abii-
ity and series of end runs by Nit
chell and Turner carried the ball up
the field, an attempted forward pass
failed and Mitchell punted for a good
gain. Nortbland again advanced by
their line plays and two completed for
ward passes. Ladysmith fought hard
to ward off another touchdown. At
this time occurred the most spectac
uar play of the day. Mitchell inter
rupted a forward pass and with the
aid of splendid interference, raced the
length of the field for a touchdown.
The crowd surged on the field and
with caps in the air, cheered and
shouted with joy The try for point
by Duchaine failed. Score, North
land 6, Ladysmith 6.
Second Touchdown
Northland received and started their
line plunges. Ladysmith held, but
fumbles at critical times prevented
steady offense for the team. Lady
smith was forced to kick and North
land advanced and went over for their
second touchdown. On this play

offside, but the officials not seeing the
play, did not call a penalty, and the
score counted. The try for point by
drop kick was successful. Score:
Northland 13, Ladysmith 6.
Ladysmith received, and time for
first half was called with Ladysmith
in possession of ball in center of field.
Ladysmith came back stronger dur
ing the second half They succeeded in
holding the heavier college team un-
til on an Offside play NOrthland broke
away for a touchdown. The officers
could not allow the score and North
land was penalized for offside. North
land began to use their weight by pill
ing on the Ladysmith man after he
was down, their center being the chief
offender. They were penalized Is
yards for unnecessary rOughness
During the final quarter Ladysmith
tried forward passes, time after time,
in a desperate attempt to score. There
seemed to be too much rubber in the
ball, because each play was beautiful
ly executed, only to have the ball
bounce from the hands of the receiv-
er. No scores were made during the
last half and the game ended in ia
vor of Northland, 13 to 6.

Problem For Next Year
This game marked the last appear
ance of three back field men, Capt.
Mitchell, Davidson and Radloff, and
two line men, Butler, guard, and Du-
Chaine, end. Next years prospects
are fine, as far as the line goes, for
material is on hand to fill the places
of Butler and DuChaine, but the back
field will be a serious problem, because
the places of the reliable trio, Mitchell,
Davidson and Radloff will be hard to
fill However we have an excellent
start in Grow and Turner, halves
Someone furnish good fullback and
quarterback.
