Tbs Meeker.crais Game

Despite bad weather and worse
threatened, the Meeker high school
foot ball team journeyed over 70
Craig, and was beaten-69 to O-as
expected.
Commenting on the game, the
Craig Empire says:
awhile II must be admitted that
Mseker didn't furnish . great deal
In the line OF formidable opposition.
the fact remains that Craig's foot
bali team In last Saturdays game
showed marked improvement over
previous efforts and would have won
from any team In this part Of coun-
try. Fer = full week before the locals
really practiced and trained Consist
emily, earnestly striving to sssinilate
the suggestions Of their mentor, Prof.
l.. N. Pierce, who, by the way, 10
proving . valuable man for the Craig
high school. Saturday there WAS not
90 much individual playing but .
great deal more team work than had
been displayed In any game In North
western Colorado this season. The
result WAS that ct no time was Crsig's
goal In danger, while Meeker was
obliged to take . large goose egg
while Craig piled up total Of 81
points. II the boys will keep up the
same sort Of consistent practice for
another week, they can make good
showing against any high school
team In Colorado"
Considering their much lighter
weight and lack Of training our boys
made very good showing against
Craig.
The Meeker team WAS composed
of Kyle, Smith (captain) Rea, BEEN
CT, Soper, g. Peltier, Hahn, Walden,
e. Peltier, Lyttle and Wharton.
Craig 10 booked for . return game
ct Mesker to-day. We can't beat
them, but We can try and show the
YAmpa river boys good time.

better. Young Conley was special
