Fast Teams 10 Play Friday at Sunderlin Field
At 1 15 Friday afternoon the Junior college gridder meet Mason City on Sunderlin Field as the opener for the Homecoming games. Under Coach Rogers the Wolves have not been defeated in two years and so far the locals have won two games and tied one. The Mason City team rates high and the game is sure to be full of thrills. At 3 00 Friday afternoon the Midgets meet Spirit Lake. The Lakers are undefeated as are the locals and the game should be a good one. The Indians are among the strongest in the Lakes conference and held the 1931 locals to one touchdown last week 12 0. The week before they played a scoreless tie with Rock Rapids. It remains to be seen how the local team performs without Coach Lynns black hat.
