Hunk iliapihs : ,iiiailfurh Qbame In the classiest game of the season Milford won the North- ern Iowa Championship title on Hafer Field at Spirit Lake No- vember 19, by defeating the Rock Rapids claimants by the de- cisive score of 61 to 0. The first half of the game, however, was a real struggle, and because of the clocklike working of the Milford machine in the last half the score does not properly con- vey the merits of the game. Before the game, it was anticipated that Rock Rapids, who had only lost three games in the past three years, and only one in the state in that time. would give us a taste of genuine football. After the Milford bunch plowed its way thru to the first touchdown, the outcome of the game was never in doubt. The spirit of Capt. Janson of Rock Rapids thruout the game was a feature which will not be forgotten.. With one hand in a cast so it could not be used effectively he fought, un- til the last whistle, in such a manner that the officials com- mended him for his gameness. Due to the consistent playing in this and the other eight games of the season, the boys won recognition throughout the state. The Des Moines Register makes mention of the entire Milford team, including Coach Fosdick. saving the football team has had a ,great part this year in putting Milford on the map. Gbanhnrn : ,illailfnrh 'Bama I One of the best games of the year was the Sanborn game played on their field November 11. The Sanborn team was undefeated up to this time al- though they had played seven strong teams. While there was no question as to which had the better team the game was hard fought from beginning to end. A fumble on the five yard line cost Milford a touchdown, nevertheless the half ended with the score of 17 to 0 in Mil- ford's favor and the ball within one yard of the goal line. While the breaks of the game were against Milford in the first half they turned in her favor in the second half. Van Voorhis, the diminutive end, recovered a punt for a touchdown. During this half Sanborn scored on a long forward pass, the game ended with the score 20 to 6 in Milford's favor. Y if MARQON AND WHITE
