' October 17, 1925 Thornton Wins 7-6 Grid Tussle with New Trier Huskies The New Trier grid men bowed to Thornton, Saturday after a close battle which ended in a 7-6 score. The first points were made in the second quarter by the New Trier quarterback, Jenks, who intercepted a pass intended for a Thornton end, and ran 65 yards for a touchdown. He picked his openings cleverly and was successful in side-stepping the Thorn- ton safety, who made a desperate . ef- fort to stop- him. New Trier failed to kick the goal. New Trier kicked off to Thornton who returned the ball on a punt. New Trier punted to Thornton and the ball was played up to the thirty yard line. At this point Lauer went in for Burrows at full and Weld took Jenk's place as quarter. Lauer failed to re- port to the referee and New Trier was penalized 15 yards. On the next play a Thornton back carried the ball around right end to a touchdown. A place kick put the visitors ahead where they stayed throughout the game. The second half was marked by long gains and fine stiff-arming by Lauer and several consistantly neat tackles by May, New Trier's right end. Hul- bert was put out in the second quarter by a sprained knee, but was able to play again in the third period. Paletti who had not played in a game for the last two weeks on account of an injury, started the third quarter in Lauer's place, and made several long gains; however, he was not allowed to finish the game and Lauer returned in time to make three successive forward passes. The first was incomplete. The second was nabbed by Jenks for a ten yard gain, and the third went to Brown who made fifteen yards on it.
