■■■ ■ B ■■■ This game was nearly a repetition of the first, the Senior team being heavier, and. therefore, able to wear their opponents away. It resulted in a 5-0 score for the Seniors. Here the game was called as it was already quite dark, and a continuation of the game would have been useless. The next Friday the Seniors and Juniors met for a battle-royal on the Parade grounds. The two teams were very nearly of the same weight and the individual players were well matched. This game was played in two '‘halves.’’ The first one lasted for one hour and ten minutes, in which time neither team was able to score. After a fifteen-minute rest they went at it again with the Seniors looking the best. I he Junior line soon wore down and most of the gains in this half were made through the line. After about thirty minutes of play the Seniors started a march right down the field with line plays through the guards and a touchdown was the result. This meant the Championship for the Seniors, for here the game was brought to a close. These inter-class games showed two things. First, that there is class spirit, as well as school spirit, in West Fligh School; and second, that there is enough football material in these classes to produce Championship school teams for the next three years.

Overlook UNDER the leadership of the capable little captain, Orth, the hockey team repeated its record of last year, by winning its second championship. Through the influence of Dr. Keen, physical director of the Minneapolis Public Schools, we obtained a rink from the Park Board. The article of hockey played by the team this year was far superior to that of the previous year, and the team was more than gratified in the way the school supported the game. Although hard luck attended the team at various periods, they redoubled their determination, and came through with colors flying. North was the first team to fall before the West ( puck chasers ) by the count of 6-0. Next Central was taken into camp and defeated by the score of 4-0. South proved somewhat weaker, and were beaten 8-0. East was the next team to suffer defeat, score 6-0. I he second round was but a repetition Ttcenlt - four
