ON THE KICKOFF

oduh SenITe opened us SrlQ Sed-
son, by bowling to Long Prairie,
Is to 0, an exact duplicate of the
score in 1881. Ostrander demoraliz-
ed the locals by grabbing the open
ing kickoff and racing 80 yards for
a touchdown.
The losers played a lot of good
football but lacked the punch and
the polish to make their attack
function when near the enemy goal
line. Fumbles at critical moments
cost the home team at least one
touchdown. ..
Two district elevens kept their
goal lines uncrossed Friday. Glen
wood defeated Willmar 6 to O for
the first time in three meetings, the
Kandiyohi team winning II to and
6 to o the past two seasons. Alexan-
dria kept its goal inviolate by
downing Melrose Z to o. Both win
ming scores were made in the final
quarter. - :.
Little Falls steam-rollered two
future Sank Centre foes into sub
mission as they slaughtered Long
Prairie So to o and then owes
whelmed Holdingford so to g.. Wa
dena conquered Brainerd 10 to 6.
Glenwood overpowered Starbuck
rs to two weeks ago. s
Parkers Prairie invades Sank
Centre tomorrow with a powerful
team of veterans to battle the local
squad in a district struggle. st.
Cloud Cathedral goes to Melrose
for game struggle. st. Cloud Ca
tnedraI goes to Melrose for a game.
Appleton plays at Glenwood tomor-
row night and should give the home
eleven very little opposition.
Holdingford tries conclusions
with Foley and Wadena takes on
Pelican Rapids. Albany tangles
with St. Johns. Wadena, Holding
and st. John should cop these strug-
giles. Long Prairie is idle, having
Cancelled their date with Parkers
Prairie. D.
The Melrose Glenwood nocturnal
tussle next Friday will practically
determine the district football
championship. .
Frank O'Rourke, former coach
at Melrese, is now head football
coach at Litchfield, his team lost to
Benson 10 to 6 last week.
Melrose and Alexandria are rath-
er effective in checking each others
attacks. They held each other
scoreless for nine consecutive
quarters before Aleck recorded its
touchdown. After scoreless sec
ond half in 1880, these elevens en-
gagged in o to o draw last season.
while neither team was able to tai,
ly in the first three periods of their
game last week. -.
Sank Centre should acquire q
vast amount of football lore
against Parkers Prairie which pos
sesses a tiashy offensive. This
knowledge will stand them in good:
stead when they come to grip with
Foley on October z.
Foley is new face on the home
schedule, Olson having carded the
tilt little more than a week ago.
Foley is not as stern a foe as eth
er Albany or Holdingford but on
their home field they are a hard
antagonist to overcome.
The locals now have a full game
schedule with no open dates to fill
and by Armistice Day the squad
should have a very good idea of
how the sport is played. -
Foley only trimmed Paynesville
26 to 20 last year while Sank Cen
tire out-counted the same adversary
by 20 markers. Foley lies 16 miles
northeast of st. Cloud and is the
county seat OF Benton county. &c.
+ The Sank Centre students are
quite enthusiastic about their team
and even the loss to Long Prairie
has failed to dampen their ardor.
Even they are aware that the To-
Gals will not win even half of their
games but they are fair enough to
be content with a team that i'm
proves as the season wears on, alb
sorbing a more thorough know
ledge of the finer points Of foot
ball with each passing game.
The best game of the home
schedule occurs on Nov. 4, when
the Melrose eleven journeys here
trying to uphold the prestige it has
gained by seven winning teams IN
seven successive seasons. That,
everyone will admit is the high spot
of the entire season and the locals
will be at their best by that time.
Sank Centre will get a double
taste of foodlight football during
the present campaign as they trek
to Glenwood on October 26 and
then, on Nov. II in the seasons fin
al, they jaunt over to Wadena for
another contest under artificial
lights. Foley Is the same distance
from here as Wadena.
