pupils. Mr.. Giedd was chosen
referee and Mr.. Hill, upeiinten-

was umpire. The game started
with snap and the home boys
soon showed that they were out
to win. They got into the game

and sure. At the enc of the first
half the score stood 8 to ID in
favor of our boys and there was
great joy among the rooters.
Goodland listened to some good
advice by their coach and came
back determined to win the game
