HARD FOUGHT GAME RESULTED
WHEN THESE GOOD TEAMS MET
SCORE STOOD 6 TO AFTER LONG GAME-MANY CLOSE
DECISIONS CAUSED MUCH WRANGLING-FOOT BALL
NEWS FROM VARIOUS POINTS OF THE PLAINS AND
PANTiANDLE-PLAINVIEW COMING FRIDAY AFTER
NOON.

Last Saturday Floydada foot ball
squad came over accompanied by
large delegation Of rooters, and met
the Lubbock team, which resulted in
one Of the hardest fought games of
the season on the Lubbock grounds
The game was called at 90 o'clock,
Flaydada kicked 20 Lubbock, and the
contest began In dead earnest. Floy-
dada team averaged 100 pounds and
Lubbock team $50, and It was soon
seen that neither side would have
an easy touch down Lubbock sue
ceoded In making the first touch
down Of the game in the first quarter,
but failed 20 kick the goal which
placed the score at 6 to O, where it
remained till the third quarter, when
floydada by a number Of successive
line plunges succeeded in putting the
ball over for a touchdown. They like
wise failed 20 kick the goal which
tied the score, and though each side
played desperately no further scores
were made by either team and the
whistle blew for the finish with Lub-
book in possession Of the ball, and
making steady gaines toward the goal.
The weather was a great handicap
70 the game in every way. A cold
northwest wind was blowing, which
was disagreeable TO those attending,
and also a handicap to the players.
The attendance was very light, and
me absence Of the large number II
school children and the usual amount
Of yells was very noticeable. This
however, we are sure, was no fault
II the school, or lack Of interest in
the game. but was on account Of the
weather, but let the people Of Lub-
book keep this in mind that the team
is at a great expense in bringing
these teams here, and they are de-
pending uron the proceeds Of ball
games This week, Lubbock will
meet Plainview, and every fellow
should be on hand to boost Lubbock
along. Plainview has a strong team
and no doubt il win be a hard-fought
game from the first kickoff
Floydada has a record Of four
games this season with total Of 2z3
points against rs. J. C.. Wester is
J coach and Hollis Moore captain. Lub-
book has record Of four games, to-
tnl 2l7 against A. J. c. Mari is
