FALL ATHLETICS

Page 21 text:

Football— 1930 FOOTBALL, in 1930, started with a squad of fifty-two men reporting. After a few strenuous weeks of practice, the squad was cut to thirty-three. Twenty-two men and two m inagers received letters, with seven men re- ing numerals. The season was net successful from the standpoint of wins and losses, but a good sixty minutes of football was guaranteed every Saturday. The team developed from green, raw material into a fighting squad well - in fundamentals. The bright spot of football is that eighteen of the lettermen will report next fall; the teams may also draw material from a few men who have transferred from other schools and from the incoming freshmen. season is looked for next year. Last fall, after a week ' s practice, the team went to Winona to play the Teachers, but the boys showed their inexperience. The following Saturday Macalester completely outplayed our team the first half — a fighting Stout team took the field the second half and played a great defensive game. Then came Stevens Point, our first conference game — a close game with hard breaks. After a misunderstanding had brought the «oldiers to Mcnomonie and had sent our team to Minneapolis, the two teams played at Fort Sncliing, in the dark, without the aid of lights. River Falls offered a fine game on a terrible day — breaks with the wind, a superior, experienced team; the Falls won in the last quarter. At Eau Claire our team did its best work — outgained and outfought Eau Claire but could not score. The final game against La Crosse was a thriller — a good defensive game — with mental lapses darkening the day for Stout. We hope the experience gained this year will benefit our team next year. Spitznaglc was elected backfield captain; Stori was elected line captain. Page S
