ATHLETIC NOTES
The Seniors, digging, slipping, stud clawing in a
sea °f mud, succeeded in slapping their way to a 13 to
0 victory over the Freshies. • ‘Goose Egg, ’ ’ pride and
dash of the Green Capped luds, found himself com
pletely tied, as he could not get loose for any of his
dashing runs.
“ Shi,eh” Wall proved himself a contender for a
berth on the All-Star team last Sunday, as he ran and
slipped his way through the Freshies. for two touch
downs. ‘ ‘Galloping’ ’ Frenier also distinguished him
self, and placed himself among the leading candidates
for the center berth. ‘ ‘ W ild’ ’ Bill Cadotte and Young
Jack Thompson were Freshie luminaries. In fact,
“ Wild” Bill Cadotte proved himself a regular steam
roller as he ploughed through,: the Senior line for short
gains, time and again. However, a t critical; times the
Senior line always stiffened and held the Freshies for
downs. In spite of the one-sided game the Freshies
fought from the start to finish.
Our football game at Monmouth on Armistice Day
resulted iu a 25 to 0 score against us:—but it is not to
our discredit by any means. In the first place our lads
weregreatly outweighed man for man, and despite the
Normal School’s natural advantage it cannot be stated,
truthfully, that Chem aw agaveupinits unusual up-hill
fight unfil the end of,the game. The “ breaks’ ’ alt
seemed to be for Monmouth. Oh, well, no matter-—
our boys made many friends by their clean and sports
manlike playing in the face of the inevitable. Joe
Peratrovich is declared, to have been the star of the
team on this occasion. Peter McClusky was quite
badly hurt, but is now. improving in a satisfactory
way.
