southern Minnesota, the coaches were compelled to develop a new backfield from practically green material. Our regular line-up, with a few exceptions, was in doubt during the whole season. Reynolds held down the pivotal position in a creditable manner. Fink at right tackle, and LaPointe at right end formed a strong combination. which cost opposing teams many a touchdown. Lapham, Re- vier, Siemers, and Owen held down the guard positions in noticeable style. Little occupied the left tackle position most of the season, changing occasionally with Fremouw at half. Pye at left end proved a valuable asset to the line. The back- field was heavy and only at times showed fiashes of speed. Few wide end runs were attempted, but the off-tackle smashes and line plunges were the main stand- by. The following men were awarded letters: Fremouw, LaPointe, Reynolds. Johnson, Little. Truesdale, Smith, Chamberlin, Pye, Lapham, Larson and Fink. Football scores: Northfield 10, Kenyon 7. Northfield 13, New Prague o Northfield 22, Faribault 6. Northfield 7, Anoka 13. Northfield 21, Mankato 0. Northfield 64, Farmington 0. On November 24th the football team received an invitation from Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds to a banquet at the Reynolds home. The whole affair was fine- thatis the only word that does it full justice. After the banquet Harlan Pye was elected captain for IQI4, and a short program, in which all those present were called upon for an appropriate part, was given. CLASS GAME The Seniors and Freshmen challenged the Sophomores and Juniors to a class game, from which all first team men were eliminated. Gallup was respon- sible for the only touchdown which the junior-Sophs made, while the Senior- Freshmen score was the result of a beautiful pass from Bjoraker to Hamilton. Score 6-6 in favor of the spectators. Tia-Banu .Ka-.Tana ! Ka-Tana .' Ka-ta-ta-ta I Ka-Zula! Ka-Zula! K a-za-sa-sa I Katana, Ka-ta! Ka-szzla, Ka-sa! Northfield High School, Rah! Rah! Rah!

This was the line that had instilled a feeling of respect in all teams who came in touch with them. Wle were not so lucky in having a baeklield of the same experience. but from the first it was evident that from the wealth of material some excellent combinations could be picked out. Ont of the seventeen men who remained loyal to the coaches throughout the season, only a few could count on their positions with any degree of certainty. As a whole, the team Was slow, but made their attacks in a determined manner which overcame all opposition. lly hard, persistent practice, they learned to act with assurance and to absorb and give hard knocks, which queered many a team's tricky formations. ln short, though not as spectacular as former renowned Northfield teams, they put up a formidable front on defense, and a smashing attack, which carried all before them.
