HIGH SCHOOL EVENTS.
Especial to the Heraldl


record of the local football team. The
hrst was by Campion Academy, Oct.
L., the second was by Richland Center,
Wednesday, Oct. 20 and the third by
Dodgeville Friday, Oct. %
But this looks and sounds worse
than it really is when the teams are
compared and the games are review
ed. AT the beginning of the season it
was feared that there was no hopes
OF having any kind of team But
three men were left who had been in a
football suit and of these only two had
been regulars on a team With these
few to work around practice was be-
gun. Equipment to dress a full team
was lacking but few garments were
sent for and the new recruits began to
look and act little like football
players.
How about our adversaries? Rich
land Center opened school two weeks
before Lancaster and began practice
at once with two full teams equipped
for scrimmages. They had enough
men OF experience, due to this two
team procedure, to fill all the places
on the first team and some have play
ed on the team for the last three years.
AS a consequence they have a team
that Lancaster did we'll to hold to
SO low score and succeed in cross
ing its goal line.
Campion Academy has over 800
boys to choose from and has two full
teams on the field to meet our light
inexperienced lily clad bunch No
one thought of winning They had
just the preceding Saturday defeated
the strong Des Moines, Iowa high
school team, 81. to Z. At the plucky
Lancaster beginners held then score
less until the whistle blew at the end
of the first half.
Dodgeville should have been de-
feated and would have been had the
boys been over the grilling they re-
ceived at the hands of Richland Cen
ter just two days before
The seacon is still young, Nov. IL
FenDimore comes to Lancaster and
the locals will have chance to even
up things bit Richland Center de-
feated them 80 to 0 but Fennimore
trimmed Dodgeville twice by decisive
scores. Then Dodgeville comes to
Lancaster the following weekend.
With tn advantage of some new
shoulder pads and jerseys the boy
are determined to end the season with
a few victories to their credit.

They have shown much impro ement
since the opening of this school year.
