Sixth Game on Friday, Defeat ::
ing Litchfeld

Friday afternoon, Litchfield being de-
feated by a score of SO to 0. The field
was very muddy due to the rain that
fell during the week which made it
very hard for both teams to work at
the best advantage. A large crowd of
fans, both Litchfeld and Willmar,
witnessed the game and cheered their
fayorites.
Westgaard started the scoring in
the first quarter by receiving pass
from Linn and carrying it across the
goal line. A pass from Linn to Peter
son added the extra point. Melville
Johnson also made a touchdown in
this period with Westgaard kicking
goal. Davis secured the only points
in the second quarter by making a
touchdown. The pass for the extra
point failed. The two teams played
very nearly on even terms during the
third quarter, neither of the two being
able to cross the others goal line.
Willmar succeeded however in getting
the ball on Litchfeld's 21a yd line. In
the first play of the last quarter Linn
carried the ball across for a touch
down. Westgaard's kick was good.
Linn also added another touchdown in
the same quarter Westgaard's kick
was wide. Westgaard received a pass
from Linn on the so yd line and ran
the rest of the length of the field for
touchdown. A pass for the extra
point failed.
The game was featured by a IS yd
run around right end in the third
quarter by Nelly Johnson, and a pref
ty pass from Linn on the so yd line
to Westgaard who ran thru the entire
Litchfeld team for a touchdown.
Davis also made some pretty end
runs that melted Willmar big gains.
Both teams tried a lot of passes, a
good share on both sides being good.
On the left side Of the line Peterson,
w. Johnson and Kirkpatrick perform
ed in great style. They played good
steady game all the way thru. Monson,
the tall center, played his usual good
game and was successful in pulling
many stray passes out of the air. On
the right side, Wright, Benson and
Westgaard all played good games and
thru the efforts of the whole line Will
mars goal was never in danger of
being crossed. In the backfeld, Davis
ran the team we'll and made good
gains thru the line and especially on
his end runs. Linn, and the two John
sons alternated in carrying the ball.
Inns passing was good as was also
Westgaard's kicking.
For Litchfeld Carlson at quarter
was the outstanding star. He is a
wonderful passer and is also able to
gain thru the line. Ryan at right end
was usually at the receiving end of
the passes from Carlson and the COM
bination worked we'll together
