MONDOVI, 13; NEW RICHMOND, 6. Saturday, November 1st, our eleven went to New Richmond and met their team, defeating the bonnie Irish boys to the tune of 13 to 6. This probably was one of the best and hardest-fought games of the season and which proved extremely interesting from start to finish. During the first few moments of the game, Horst crossed the goal for a touchdown, which was followed by a perfect goal, netting us seven points. New Richmond then showed more fighting spirit, and held them scoreless until nearly the close of the game, when our boys, on a fake end play, gave the ball to Horst, who went directly through the line for a spectacular run of seventy yards and a touchdown. Horst failed to kick goal. During the few remaining minutes which were left to play, neither team scored. New Richmond secured their touchdown on a forward pass, but failed to kick goal. Horst proved the star of the game, although every man on the team played an excellent game and deserved credit. F. UUUWiU i i ii v. imvup. B.—Humphrey R. G.—Connitt O. B.—Howard L. T.—Brobst L.

The way our high school football team used the second team of the Eau Cla;re high school on their visit here September 27th. Under a week’s efficient coaching of Gerald Smith of Whitewater, our boys showed some good football for the first game of the season, and handled the visitors without any trouble, demonstrating that they were to be reckoned with among high school teams in this part of the state. Although the ground was soft, our high school team rolled up 52 points while the Eau Claire team was lucky to get in a s:ngle forward pass, which netted them six points. Our boys had possession of the ball most of the time. Humphrey and Rorst starred on the offense, while every member of the team played good ball. There were only a si lall crowd present, due probably to the drizzling rain which set in during the early part of the afternoon. Lineup for Mondovi: R. E.—Charles Martin R. T.—Clayton Butler R.

MENOMONIE, 0; MONDOVI, 13. The football game Saturday, October 4th, was a thing of beauty to local fans. Menomonie had a good team, but our boys outplayed them decisively all the way and won a hard-fought battle 13 to 0. 1 he ball was in Menomonie’s territory most of the time, but our boys were unable to score in the first half, although they threatened a number of times. In the second half, with the ball near Menomonie’s goal, they fumbled, and Humphrey, our rotary snowplow, took the ball and sprinted for a touchdown, after which Borst kicked a goal. After a series of plays our boys took the ball down the field and Borst went over for a touchdown in the last minute of play, although he failed to kick goal. Our team played their usual hard, clean and steady game and surely deserved to win. Menomonie was disposed to play rough after they found that they were up against the real thing.” Lineup: F.

Saturday, October 18th, our high school eleven left for ( hippewa Falls to meet the team there. The score does not at all indicate the strength of the two teams. In the first scrimmage, Harry Throne, our right end. dislocated his shoulder and broke his collar-bone, which discouraged our boys from the start. Charles Martin, who broke a rib a short time before, substituted, and played a good game. The Chippewa team was well coached, and by using a trick play ran up a score of 25 in the first half. The second half our boys more than held their own against the Chippewa team, having the ball in their territory most of the time, but were unable to score. Stanley Lockwood hurt his leg, and Lamb substituted; also Edward Knudtson broke his collarbone in the last scrimmage. Our only regret is that we didn’t meet Chippewa Falls again.

I he Irumpet. Scandinavia, Wis. Your paper is very sinall, but well arranged. An enlarged literary department would add much to your paper, and more athletic news would be appropriate at this season of the year. Where is your exchange department? 1 lie Oracle, Brodhead, Wis. Your paper is neat and attractive, with material in keeping with the Christmas season. However, we still miss athletics and news of the societies, much needed departments in every school paper. A few long stories would improve your literary department. “The Exponent.” IMatteville, Wis. This seems to have been an entirely football number and that department is especially good. However, the other school activities, such as school societies, are not represented. Why not add a literary department to your paper? I he Crimson. Edgerton, Wis. “The Crimson” is a neat paper with lots of snap to it. It has an unusually large literary department for the size of the paper, also good editorials Your cuts are original, but that’s all we can say for them. “The Laurentian.” Appleton, Wis. The football number of 1 he Laurentian can well be taken by other papers as a model of arrangement. Every detail is perfect. Your football men have been sufficiently honored by you, so we pay a tribute rather to the students and staff who put out such an excellent paper. 99
