LUBBOCK DEFEATS FLOY-
DADA BY SCORE OF 1870

By making a score Of iS in the last
three minutes Of the last quarter OF
the game, Lubbock High Schools
Football team defeated the team of
the Floydada High School, Friday
afternoon of October the nth, play
ed on the High School grounds in our
city.
The teams were very evenly match
ed in size, weight. etc. and Il seem
ed to be only a matter of which out
winded. Lubbock started the game
by a kickoff and Floydada playing a
strong line held the ball TO an even
break. In the latter part of the first
quarter, a touchdown was made by
Lubbock boy, following a forward
pass. After consuming about fifteen
minutes time, the referees, Simpson
and Pearson Of Lubbock, and two OF
Floydada. finally agreed that the
pass was not taken until after the ball
had touched the ground and thus the
game was even the first quarter
During the second quarter Floyda-
da's fullback made successful at
tempts to break the Lubbock line and
it looked for a second as though he
were bound for a touch down, but
Just then by lightning speed Lubbock
tackled and held the ball back. This
happened two or three times during
the game. The first quarter Of the
second half, no one made an advance
without losing IL Lubbock was near
ing her goal in the last half with de-
termination to make the one score
that would win the game. In these
few minutes. Pearson was credited
with two touch-downs and Wool
bridge with one. Failure to kick the
goal three times held the score to rs.
The game was played only as clean
athletes play. Only the time lost by
referees in studying the rule book on
the ground was noticed during the
whole game. Hollis Moore Of Floy-
dada and Pearson Of Lubbock. were
the stars Of both teams.
