Basket Ball Teams Meet
Defeat.
The Milbank High school football
eleven went down the toboggan on
goose egg in the game with the local
High school team here on Thanks
giving. The Milbank team lined up
little lighter than the local boys
and showed a greater difference in
the line of plays not being able to
stand the continual drives Of the
locals and, too, not able to do good
Job Of gaining on the plays, gener.
ally resorting to the punt.
Early in the first half it was seen
that the locals were to walk away
with the game and Milbank's plays
were always to keep the score low;
not at any time did they show any
thought Of being able to win. They
were unable to hold the ball for
many downs and generally resorted
to the punt on the second down.
This OF course would give the Web.
ster team the ball and only four
times did they lose it.
Milbank in the second half
strengthened the team by putting
Failing into the game at quarter
back. In this half Webster only
made one touch down, which showed
the improved playing of the oppon-
ents.
