VVith the team practically intact from last year, the opening of the season found Coach I-ledg'cock's men out to win laurels for the school. The first game was with Oshkosh Normal, played there, on October -L in a virtual sea of mud that made good football impossible. The Oshkosh team, while holding' its opponents scoreless, succeeded in pushing' the oval across our line twice, making the score 12-0. The following week the team met Micl1ig'an Tech. Our men had spent the week in hard training, and consequently ran rough-shod over the Engineers to the strains of 25-3. l-lemr's consistent punting' and brilliant open-field running, together with the good defensive work of the line, resulted in four touchdowns, while all the Tech could collect was a drop kick. On October 16, the team, accompanied by Coaches Hcdgeock and fllurst, journeyed to Mt. Pleasant, where they met the strong' Central Normal team. A fast and shifty backlield with a bag full of tricks was too much for our boys, and we lost, 24-7, not, however, without putting Central on the defensive in the Hnal period of play. I After an enforced lay-off of two weeks, Northern met the team from North- land College, Vllisconsin, at the liair Grounds. on October 30.

A well-played game resulted in a victory for us, 13-0. The last game of the season, and by far the most thrilling, was that played with Superior Normal, November 6, at the Fair Grounds. The highly touted WlSCOI1Sl11 team came here as the champion of its district, with victories over some of the best teams in the Badger state. Possessing a heavy, fast and brainy team, and coached under the Minnesota shift style of play, Superior offered the toughest kind of opposition. But consistent, heady line-plunging and great defensive work, resulted in four touchdowns for Northern while Superior was unable to tally. Score 24-0. It would be hard to pick out individual stars, but mention should here be given the team who so nobly upheld Northern's colors and played the game. May this Northern spirit of hold the line be a part of our future teams. With a nucleus of nine men, a host of second stringers, and a new gridiron, football prospects at Northern seem unusually bright. l-, .v, . f .V .9 .v, . .f, .v . in w .Q a ,- , , U, Page One Hundred Twenty-four
