HIGH SCHOOL

The games at Breckenridge were
splendid even if we did loose one.
The basket ball game was played
Friday evening in their gymnasium.
The two teams were we'll matched
in size and an exciting game could be
foreseen. The Brock girls played
strickly boys rules while the Morris
team played modified girls'-so that,
during the hrst half Brock played all
around US. Score was 10 to l in
their favor. The second half opened
and looked just as gloomy for Morris
as Brock. got dropped the ball in.
But the Morris girls, by this time,
were more used to playing in hall
and did some splendid work at the
baskets. Brock only got one more
basket and Morris made four. End
ing game fourteen to nine.
After the game a delightful evening
was spent at the home of the Dray
girls, after which-well. Mr.. Hal
gren, how did you like Wahpeton
Saturday afternoon the foot ball
game was one of the best played this
fall. Our boys went into the game
with such confidence in themselves
that Breckenridge didn't have any
trouble at all in making touch down.
This took little conceit out of the
boys and they got busy. They found
out Brock had been doing some prac-
ticing and worked hard all the first
half without getting score.
The second half was exciting from
the first. Brock had the ball and
worked it nearly to their goal and lost
it. We worked it to their twenty
five yard line and Jimmie made a
swell run the whole length of the field
making touch down. TORY made
the kick over and the score didn't
look so gloomy. Breck's popular
play seemed to be forward passes
they tried about a dozen and we inter-
copied seven, Rupert making himself
conspicuous. Jack did some reputable
work in the line as well as with for
ward passes-all of which he got.
But it takes TORY to rip up the
line! When an opponent freaks thru
our line there's no escape from Pappy,
the last resourse-he's always ready
and he always gets them: The whole
team did come of the best work they
have ever shown and we dom wonder
that M. H. S. is so proud of them.
Score ended Ia to 6-Morris the
victors again.
Saturday afternoon there will te
a double game here with Benson.
You have heard so much about the
M. H. S. foot ball team-better come
out and see for yourself what they
can do. We can promise you good
game-for Benson has the strongest
| team we have yet encountered. This
| will be the first basket ball game
played at home this year. At Benson
we beat the girls come out and see
4 US do it again. Basket ball game
will be played at the Central building
= foot ball game at the fair grounds a
4 half an hour lat9r.
Pappy, when do you make your
first appearance? We all want to
5 come and see you make hit! fA's5@
The little 'tBlack Ballot" hung on
the left side of the door and everyone
stopped and gazed in holy horror!
Mr.. HaIgreA seems to be surprised
) that the girls in his physics class
r seem to be smarter than the boys.
! Some day he'll find out that boys in
every town re not like those in the
little village he came from.
