EMMETBURG STAR
Up at E Burg by the Sea, as the Emmetsburg boys at Iowa used to
say several years ago, there is a young lad who has been burning
them up on the football field. His name is Monk Jensvold and the
Scandahoovian athlete has had about the best prep record of any
back in the state. His team lost, but one game, to Algona 10 to
7. He has scored 170 points this season. His passing is brilliant
and he has run through entire opposing teams for several
touchdowns. Throughout northwestern Iowa, he is held as the best
in that section. He will undoubtedly make many all state
selections. If he doesn't something is wrong, as they play first
class football in that part of the state. They call him the
Grange of Iowa in the home town. We'd like to see him on an Iowa
team if possible, any state eleven rather than see him starring
at Minnesota or Wisconsin, against Iowa.
