The football season is over. Two
post season games have been played.
Watertown battled to a tie in the first
and was beaten 81 to in the last by
Marinette at Green Bay. The Jefferson
| County Democrat of Fort Atkinson
comes out with the following in Thurs
days issue:
"The heretofore invincible Water
town football team who have made an
enviable record and recorded the only
defeat against Fort Atkinson, were on
Saturday last defeated by Marinette
81 to O."
Well! Watertown happened to wall
away with Fort Atkinson 80 to 0
They were invincible until they me
the locals, and after the game they
"beefed" about the loss. Waterfowl
in losing the state championship
showed better sportsman ship. The.
admitted that they had met bette
team. Would the Fort do the SAM
thing?
The tale has been circulated tina
the local schools will soon be closes
by state authorities on account of tn
coal shortage. Up to the present tim
no such order has been issued and i
J is more than probable that the school
will be open for the full term.
