The Fiat River foot ball and bas
ket ball teams went to Perryville last
Friday and played the Perryville
teams on their courts. The football
game was the most interesting Of this
season. The Perryville field is some
thing like bluff and the team going
downward always has the advantage.
Flat River had the down-hill run the
FIRST quarter and succeeded in playing
Perryville of of their feet, and had
they known how long it would seem
during the next half hour when Per-
ryville would be going down, they
probably would have played even
harder Neither team scored during
the first half and it was not until near
the end of the Bird quarter that the OPP
posing team succeeded in making a
touchdown; but they failed to kick
goal This made the score to 0 in
Perryvilles favor. Usually Flat Riv-
er loses pep if the opposing team
scores first but it was different this
time. After struggling for some time
they gained until they were within a
few yards of Perryville's goal. But
there were only four minutes left to
play and Perryville was holding our
line back. Then we succeeded in
making a big advance and secured a
touchdown and kicked goal, making
the score 7 to 6 in our favor. The
boys playing on the Flat River team
were: Brabson Cecil, Red McAnnally,
Pete Cooper, Bill Houser, Geo. Rohr-
back, doc" Haney, Willis DeGuire,
Bill Newcomb, Seibert Miller, Rolla
Garrett, FATTY" Thomasson, jeff
Matkin, Ralph Brewer, G. Burns ana
Harold Sutterfeld.

Friday night at 1880. The game start
cd fast and was played fast to the end.
Our girls were not at their best but
put up good game. Before we could
realize it. the score was to ! in Per-
rvvilles favor and at the end of the
first half the score was tied, 7 to Z.
We found the Perryville team much
improved. With a changed lineup
the second half, our girls went in with
a determination to double the score
on Perryvile and succeeded in scor-
ing two to every goal made by Per-
ryville. The score was % to Is in
Flat Rivers favor. The girls lineup
was: Francis Anthony Thompson, vi
da Tucker, Ora Robinson, Elsie Sill
vey. Nellie Williams and Bessie Mo
sier, Irene Dudley. Both teams and
all the Flat River rooters were roy

pie. Everyone enjoyed the big feast
given them after the girls game.
