Thornes The annual football contest which decides the football supremacy of the freshman and junior classes was played this fall on Monday, Nov. 2, and proved to be an unusually hotly- contested battle. Mr. Edson, veteran of many similar contests, pronounced it the best demon- stration of football technique of any intramural football game at this school. In the assembly period the coaches introduced the members of their squads to the student body, who flocked to the football field that afternoon to cheer on their respective teams. The game opened with the kick-off by the Freshman Team under the leadership of Cap- tain Ingvor Buhl. The first quarter passed with neither side gaining very many yards. Toward the end of the second quarter the freshmen showed that they meant to win the game and marched down the field to the two yard line with Underwood and Nielsen making consider- able gains around the ends and Fossum bucking

Just before the battle 4 f eee i Student Manager Ed. Johnson arose early on the morning of No- vember 18 and roused out sixteen men who were for once willing to get up at 4:30 A. M. The football fellows left at 5:30 for Curtis, Nebraska, a distance of 589 miles, in cars driven by Mr. Heine, Mr. Prickett, Mr. Bridgford, and Mr. Beckstrom. The faculty and students at the Curtis Agricul- tural School proved to be gracious hosts, the only thing not to the boys’ liking being the defeat which they administered. The speed and accuracy of the Nebraska boys over-whelmed our team, and it went down in defeat to the tune of 44-6. Dur- ing the second quarter Spaulding was injured and had to leave the game. Captain Grothem was also injured and forced to leave the field. The boys who made the trip are looking forward to meet- On, West Central ing the Nebraska team on our home field next fall.

The next play, however, was a smash over the tackle and left the juniors on the short i end of a 7-0 score. The second half of the game started with the freshmen again kicking off. The game during the third quarter was played largely in junior territory. Finally they were pushed back to their own goal and were forced to punt. The , punt was blocked and recovered by the fresh- ; men, to be carried over the goal for the second | touchdown of the game. The score was now 13-0 in favor of the freshmen. The fourth quarter was the reverse of the third, with the juniors maneuvering the ball in the freshman territory with Dyer hitting the line and James Parson, captain of the juniors, running the end until a touchdown was gained, for the junior team. They successfully made their try for point and the game ended with the juniors trailing, 13-7. THE FRESHMAN SQUAD Standing— O. Siira R. Kent Second Row— I. Buhl, Captain M. Nielsen M. Olson L.
