The foot ball season closed last
Thursday forenoon when our boys
were beaten on the fair ground field
by the Haysites by a score of 10 to 9.
1t seems as if our boys got the
"Buck" fever at the start of the game
and before they settled down to bust |
ness their opponents had scored; after
the fever had passed off our boys |
played good ball, but a bungle gave
the game to Hays. Our team out
played our neighbors on the east but |
they beat them on rules of the game, |
etc. The Hays bunch to the number |
of about fifty accompanied their team
and gave them much encouragement.
The visitors were a fine bunch of |
young men.
