HoLYokE ELEVEN TAKES GAME
FROM JULESeURG TURKEY DAY

FROM JuLeseURG TURKEY DAY
Starting the game with a whirlwind
attack, the Holyoke high school
eleven played the Julesburs team off
their feet and ended a most sue
cessful season in manner that
brought joy to the local fans hearts
After some delay, which was doubt
less caused by the big turkey dinner
the Julesburg fans and referee finally
arrived at the field and announced
that the game could start any time
Captain Merton Edgar won the toss
and chose the west goal for Holyoke,
and the game was on. True to ad.
vance dope that leaked out from the
northern camp. Julesburg> had deyel-
oped much smoother and more or
ganized attack than they had display
ed here at Holyoke when they met
n 13-0 defeat several weeks ago.
But their well-groomed backfield men
did not have much of chance to
show what they could do the first
half because they were kept contin-
ually on the defense, trying frantic
ally to stop the attack OF the line
smashers end runs. shift plays and
forward passes that the Holyoke ma.
chine turned loose on them.
The score at the eus or the first
half stood 80 in favor OF Holyoke
and as a result Julesburg- stock
WASH worth very much on the north
ern market. The second half opened
with rush. almost as fast as the
first, but II was evident that the ref.
cree had either forgotten to keep
pace with modern football. or else
he had decided between halves that
that Holyoke scoring had gone far
enough, because he inflicted penalties
so consistently that the Holyoke at.
tack was held up every time 1t got
under way. His idea of hurdling
seemed to be based on the principle
that any man carrying the ball must
keep both feet on the ground at one
and the same time. else he should be
''pinched" about fifteen yards for
speeding
In the third quarter Julesburg
scored three touchdowns and kicked
goal every time, in the surprisingly
short time OF ten minutes. The first
one came early In the period when
the speedy halfback trickled through
/ flocks OF Holyoke tackles on bril-
liant end run, The second one came
when Julesburg end interrupted q
Holyoke pass and scampered down
u clear field to the chalk line The
last one came at the end of the third
quarter when this same Heetfoo
halfbaob caught Holyoke punt and
dodging some seven or eight tackles
raced 70 yeards through the whole
Holyoke team for their last counter
BY this time the supiy OF local
dandor was aroused to the highest
bitch. and by straight.line plunglng.

Tucker carried the ball eighty yards
down the field for the nnal fIolyoke
touchdown. The time for the fourth
quarter lacked four minutes OF being
mp. but the game was called on nc.
count OF darkness.
The features OF the game from the
local view point were the splendid
performances OF the whole line on
both ofIense and defense. the brilliant
line plunging OF Tucker and Harmon
