this 111.1-1.1 1pq-In-ll-gg-nil..-11.1.11.p...l,1H- The team worked together all season and played most sportsmanlike games-each and every man on the team deserves credit for his work and the men on the reserve team are also to be complimented on the work done and the spirit shown. Coach Hellenbergx worked hard with the teams and the scores are indicative of the results of his efforts. The line-up for the first team was: Dansby fcaptainj, Brancheau, Sayles, S. Wagar, Rupp, Leason, Dugan, Gruber, Reisig, Bodell, Snyder tcapt.-electj, J. Brancheau, with Hundley, VValtz, Duffey, Herkimer, F. Peterson, Rottenbucher, Lajiness, Bunkleman, Jennings and Dunbar as efficient substitutes. ' The Reserves played four games and met with varied success. They played Dundee twice and Lambertville twice. THE MONROE-ADRIAN FOOTB.Xl.L GAME A large crowd from Monroe motored to Adrian Saturday, November I4, to witness the annual Monroe-Adrian football game, which was the biggest game of the season because a keen rivalry has been evident between the two teams ever since 1910. Before the game each team was given a short signal drill. At the start of the game Monroe kicked off, and the ball, going behind the goal post, was taken out to the twenty yard line. Shortly after, Monroe scored on Adrian and got its extra point by a beautiful drop-kick over goal. Thenklater, Adrian raced for a touchdown and got its extra point also. The score was seven to seven at the half. Between halves the crowds from both Monroe and Adrian paraded around the field, each being led by the band from the home towns. In the second half both teams buckled down to busi- ness and and the game became rough. Duffy, who had gone in' for Bodell, was hurt and Shine went in again. Snider played a wonderful game of football, and, although he was laid out once or twice he stuck throughout the game. Adrian took their gains in small amounts, and, although they got a touchdown on a forward pass, they made most of their progress through the line. Monroe, however, had more varied means of reeling off the yards, of which the aerial route was one, and the end runs of Brancheau, Snider and Dansby were another. With five minutes to play, and the score IQ to 20, with Adrian on the heavy end, Monroe came into possession of the ball on Adrian's eight yard line. The yelling of the crowd had put new pep into the boys and they went into the game for all they were worth. Three spectacular forward passes in succession were completed, the last of which, Dansby to Snider, netted fifty yards. The ball went down on the five yard line because Snider stumbled and slipped in the wet field. Leo then carried it up to the one yard line and from there the ball was carried over the line twice, first by Dansby and then by Bodell. But the touchdown was not counted. Then the referee walked off the field with five seconds to play and Monroe supposed to have another try for goal. 1J5uaIz ----------------------------------- n1n-nfs 5 -------+ ................-..---- -------------- ---- 192 --H----u------ - - - - - - -

Those on the first and second teams or tootbali, base- ball and basketball are not allowed to compete in any interclass contest. It does serve to bring in, however, nearly every boy in nigh school in some sport or other. Many and varied were the events this year and the results, in many cases were rather surprising. The Tug-0'-war resulted in the juniors winning First place, with the Sophs second, giving the former 50 points and the latter 25 points. The Seniors were hrst in Kick-ball, earning 50 points, the Freshmen second, earning for themselves 25 points. Kick-goal brought 50 points to the winning juniors, and to the Seniors 25 points. Basket-ball free throws resulted in 50 points for the Fresh and 25 for the juniors. 7 r The basketball games gave the juniors a total of 75 points and the Soph- omores 100 points. Volley ball, another interclass activity-juniors IO Oand Sophomores 75 points. Cage ball added 50 points to the Seniors score and gave to the Sophs 1:5 points. Track work stands: Seniors 100 and juniors 75. There are two events still to be run off at this writing, but it looks as though the juniors will win the cup for the second successive season. The hest the Sophs and Seniors can do is to tie with the juniors, and that looks doubtful as the juniors have a strong team. NC' 'f +Hm-Hmmmmmwp---mh1n5q ------- nwwmwq-
