BrOOkhaVen Foot Ball Team Plays 0
to 0 Game With MCComb.

McComb and Brookhaven played
a very interesting game on
Thanksgiving and while the
score WIS 0 to O, this does not indi-
cate that our boys did not play a
good game of ball, for it was with
out doubt the best game of the
season. The ball was in the Nc
Comb territory the greater part of
the time, and the visiting team
could not venture near the goal
line with the ball. This game
closes the football season, and it is
noteworthy fact that not once
this season has a high school foot
ball team crossed the Brookhaven
goal line. This is a record of
which the High School is proud,
but it is prouder still of the fact
that a sister school can say of US,
as did one: 1--WE like to play your
boys, for they play such good, clean
football - We are glad that we
have such fine, upright boys on our
team for such boys will always
maintain the high standard Of ath.
letics, and be a credit to the school
and the town.

the water flowing down from
