FOOTBALL JOTTINGS
(Wilfred Hetzel)

tHauk Centre Will get its Initial
taste Of night football when the
local team opposes Glenwood at
that place Oct. 26.
The 1882 campaign opens here a
week from tomorrow when Long
Prairie will line up against the
Main Street footballers. The local
squad has an excellent chance to
accomplish the downfall of the
Prairieites in that clash.
Long Prairie is below par this
season and has toned down its
schedule considerably. Hence Sank
Centre has an opportunity to chalk
up it's first district grid victory in
years. Last year the Todd county
squad triumphed 1910 in a morning
melee at Swanville.
Albany again plays here and will
try to duplicate their 14-0 margin
of 1881. Here is another eleven
which the home club has a chance
of downing. ..' -.
Melrose was the first team in
this county to play under the
floodlights, they had that pleasure
in Oct of 1880. This season. they
play at Glenwood on the night of
Oct. when Sank Centre happens
to be idle. = -.
Albany plays here on October 81
while on the 14th Olson takes his
cohorts to Holdingford seeking
possible revenge for narrow II
trouncing accepted here a year
ago. But Holding is tough on her
own gridiron.
kaufman a veteran tackle and
Weisser, promising guard, have
, been lost to the Melrose squad
through ineligibility.. Melrose and
Alexandria each have 6 tried vet
Grams or one more than Glenwood
or Starbuck can show.
Sank Centre also lays claims to
having a half dozen experienced
campaigners of their squad of IS
players. >Melrose has a similar
squad in quantity but which is
much smaller in size.
The district season has its inau-
guration, tomorrow when Parkers
Prairie encounters Alexandria at
that place seeking to avenge last
years 60 reversal. This scrivener
will be in attendance for the pur-
pose of scouting Alex for their mix
with Melrose the following week.
We may also make a few worth
while observations of the Parkers'
style of play.
Glenwood and Starbuck come to
grips tomorrow in their annual
tussle with the former believed to
hold the upper hand. Glenwood
COPIED this affair 40 last season
but this time the contest will be
decided at Starbuck
The district coaches convened at
Alexandria yesterday to draw up
the conference cage schedules
They will also decide whether to
trophy is to be awarded to the dis
trict grid champion each year.
In the feature struggle of Sank
Centres game program Melrose
plays here with its squad of Giant
Killers. The 1881 champions again
will have a hard hitting crew and
a great scoring bunch.
This season Sank Centre will
stack up against the Glenwood re-
gulars after having battled the
Glenwood seconds to a sc stand
still last autumn.
Both of the field goals made in
state high games last year were
made on the same day by players
Of Glenwood and Starbuck. Star
buck used a placement goal to
Illustrate Benson 80 but Glenwood
8 pointer was not enough for that
team to subdue Melrose.
Lemm of the Melrose team 10
back at quarter where he is a good
bet to win a berth on the 1882 all
star eleven. He won second team
assignment as junior. He was re-
garded as the shrewdest field gen.
eral in Central Minnesota last year
and he ranks with the best signal
callers ever developed in this Sec
ton.
