BOTH WAUPACA TEAMS LOSE AT FOOTBALL

High School Loses to Stevens Point Normal and the Stars to the Neenah Cardinals.

The Waupaca High School played a return game of football against the Stevens Point Normal last Saturday at Stevens Point and were defeated by 59 to 0. The high school was out-classed in weight, age and height, but played a plucky clean game from start to finish of two long halves. The team has also lost one of their strongest players who has been forbidden to play by his parents.

Stars vs. Cardinals

The game at the Grand View Park Sunday was a game filled with much wrangling and “rag-chewing”. The Neenah Cardinals were the victors by a score of 11 to 6. Neenah was decidedly the stronger team and if their team work had been up to that of the local team it would have been a very one-sided game. The star play of the game was the run of A. Larson for a touchdown form the kickoff. On Thanksgiving day the teams will line up in Neenah for a game.
