CREDIT for our successful iooiball season goes lo Coach Von Wald, who this year completed his first year ai Forest Lake. He hurled our mighty Rangers against the North Branch Vik- ings, lo start our season with a 6 lo 6 tie. Our next foe was Murray who gave us a defeat of 6 0. After a week of hard practice, the Rangers journeyed up lo Pine City, where with the loss of out fullbacks, we held the Pine City eleven to a 0-0 tie. The Rangers again assumed their hard work on the practice field and arrived in White Bear, ready lo give them a defeat on their Homecoming. However the tables were reversed, and Forest Lake went Rome after being defeated 13 0. The boys came back by defeating the Mahlomedi Zephyrs with a 26-6 score. Our most important game, and the one most enjoyed by all the team, was the Homecoming game with the Hinckley Polars. The undefeated Polars came down with the knowledge of our not so successful season slowed in their heads. After a bruising battle, the toughest of the season, the boys walked off the field with a 9-0 victory. The Rangers also look the cake which was given to Ihe winner by the bakery. Due lo bad breaks during the game, the North St. Paul eleven defeated F. L. by a score of 14-0. The season, however, is one that never will be forgotten.

The boys came back by defeating Mahiomedi 32-17. One of the outstanding battles of the year came when the North St. Paul quintet handed the Rangers a defeat of 33-31, in an overtime period. White Bear over- powered us on our own floor to chalk up another defeat for the valianl Rangers. Again the Rangers, bolstered by their undying courage, made a desperate attempt to regain their winning streak, but again they were overcome by the mighty Columbia Heights team. After vacation and n victory over the alumni, the boys lost to the Stillwater Ponies by a margin of 10 points. Though the season had not been too successful the boys never gave up hope. They proved this by handing Chi Hi a defeat of 29-23. Again the boys showed their strength by whipping the Zephyrs 43-17. The boys were handed a smear, when the unde- feated Lakeside proved stronger by ending up 11 points ahead of us. Columbia Heights and While Bear again kept us trailing.
