Elk River 32, Monticello 0. The next Friday we traveled to Monticello to play a return game, and came home leaving Monti buried under a 32 to 0 defeat. Elk River 7, Anoka 12. Our big game of the season came on October 9th, when Anoka, our old time rival, came to Elk River. Anoka scored in the first quarter, but failed to make the point after the touchdown. Elk River's first chance came in the second quarter when Goodin tried a drop kick from Anoka's 40-yard line. This kick fell short, and Anoka fumbled the ball on her own 10-yard line. Elk River recovered and scored on a short pass from Goodin to Nelson. Goodin drop-kicked for the point after the touchdown and the half ended, Elk River 7, Anoka 6. In the third period Anoka scored again when Lippert, the Anoka center, broke the line and blocked a punt which rolled over our goal line when it was downed by an Anoka player. .Elk River tried hard to score in the remaining quarter, but the final whistle stopped their rally on Anoka's 20-yard line. Seniors O, Underclasses 0. A On November 4th, the Senior class team challenged a team representing the rest of the school to meet them in a grid battle. The game was hotly contested, and as neither team was able to gain ground regularly, both sides had to be content to share the honors equally. WHAT A FOOTBALL THINKS ABOUT DURING A GAME So many players handle me that I ought to be called a handball. I think they laced me up too tight in the back. I'm just like a woman-it takes a good line to stop me. I wish that referee would stop pawing me aroundg he's got warts on his left hand and they tickle. I sure am a skin you love to touch. These fellows on the teams are always kicking about something, and I'm the something that's being kicked about. I may be passed, but as long as I don't pass out I'm satisfied. I seem to be the royal bouncer on this field, but the trouble is I never know which way I'm going to bounce. Many a woman would like to be hugged as often as I am. VVhat a nice pig I turned out to be. Miss Forester- Where did you absorb those principles of yours-at your mother's knee ? L. Moos fstanding for Leo or Louie, etc.j- No, over my father's. Mr. Cooper- VVell, Mr. Ireland, how is your football team coming ? Mr. Ireland- Like counterfeit money. Mr. Cooper- VVhy, how's that ? Mr. Ireland- The halves are full of lead and the quarters won't pass. Lawrence C.- Let's go- shooting birds, Doc. Kyle P.- All right, I'm game. Lawrence C.- Then why go ? Page Forty-.vcfmz
