Those who patronized either OF the
games on Saturday we're gwen the worth
OF their money, as the day was fine and
the games clean and fast. In the first
half OF the foot ball game Central kicked
off to Denver and downed them on the
fifteen yard line. In the second scrim-
mage Denver fumbled and Keleher grab
bed the ball and went through for
touch down, after one minute of play.
Morrison missed the goal. Score to 0.
BY series Of good plays Central again
advanced the ball to Denver's ten-yard
line where Rae Laird at end was called
upon to go through tackle, which he
succeeded in dong for gain for the en-
tire distance. However. he lost the ball
when tackled and Thurston Matthews
fell on it for second touch down. Nor
rison kicked the goal. Score II to 0.
During the second half the teams played
even, the ball being kept in Denver's
territory most of the time. Final score
II to O. The High school lads did some
very good work and closed the season in
happy frame Of mind. Next year they
will make strong team, to which every
Central City citizen can give his heart
lest support, and as an onlooker at Sat
urday's game expressed it "a team that
will make most any Of these High school
teams hustle"
Although both teams were somewhat
slower because Of baving played in the
foot ball game in the afternoon, the
basket ball game was fast from first to
last. The score at the end OF the first
h ale mao ~ to 10 IN favor ~ Cao<,,1 ~
it seemed that the boys would add Sec
ond victory to the victory Of the after
noon over the visitors. But the work Of
Hinkel. center on the Denver team, was
too fine for his opponent-Roy McCallis-
ter-and he won the game, making IS of
the 26 points finally marked down for
the visitors. Frank Morrison made 10
Of the 20 points secured by the home
team. The Central boys are worthy Of
praise for the clean, gentlemanly game
played both afternoon and evening, al
though under trying circumstances at
times. Most Of the Denver boys played
the same sort Of game.
In the girls game, Edith Dickerson
made two goals from the field for her
team while Nellie Anger could succeed
in counting only one from the field and
one from the foul line for her team. The
captains. Edith and Nellie, did all the
scoring for their respective teams and
each played good game. The girls
know they did not make the biggest
score but think they drew the biggest
crowd, SO they feel that the boys are
nothing ahead Of them. A good crowd
was in attendance and it is believed they
will come again when the games resume
after the holidays.
