T0DAYS FOOTBALL GAME

This afternoon at the fair grounds
the first game of the season played
between the Grand junction high
school football team and an out of
town team, took place: The game
was between the local team and the
Aspen high school team.
There was good sized crowd in
attendance and much enthusiasm
was aroused. Each Team worked well
and the game was a very lively one
from start to finish.
The game started at O'Clock and
each half was rapidly played, al
though it was after 4 o'clock when
the last half ended.
IL was demonstrated from the
start that the two teams were about
evenly matched and the struggles in
the first half set the crowd wild with
excitement. There We're numerous
spectacular plays and more than once
each side seemed certain to score but
failed to do so and at the end of the
first half the score stood to 0.
The second half opened with each
side confident and for moment after
moment the contest so well fought
by each side, kept up.
The last half was not finished
when The Sentinel went to press.
