S. C.. HI. S. Defeats
Haxtun Last Friday

The S. C. H. S. foot ball warriors
came back strong in last Fridays
game with Haxtun on S. C. H. s.
Field, and won an easy victory over
the lads from Phillips county, pilinz
up 81 to 0 score. s. C. H. s. sim
ply. played rings around Haxtun and
obtained safe lead when they made
two touch-downs and one goal in
the first quarter.
Although the Haxtun team out
weighed the locals, S. C. H. S. coun-
teracted this with clever end runs,
being much speedier in this respect,
while Haxtun endeavored to make
their gains by these tactics, but were
repulsed at the critical stages of the
game by the sturdy S. C. H. S. ath-
letes. with the result that Haxtun
never was able to carry the ball over
the line for touchdown.
Last Fridays game was spectacular
at times, due to the speedy work of
S. c. H. S. in making end runs for
large gains. The Haxtun boys could
MT stop 'em whenever they got on
one of those running rampages, and
at times had hard time locating the
ball in clever plays.
1t was good game, and those who
witnessed the contest were agreeably
surprised at the splendid playing of
the local team. "A much larger crowd
should have been in attendance, as
the local team deserves better sup
port from the citizens of this com
munity. Last Fridays crowd didn't
demonstrate that the people of Jules
burg appreciate high school athletics.
There is going to be another game
this Thursday afternoon at S. c. H.
S. Field, when S. C. H. s. will give
battle to the Holyoke high school
team. Previous to this game there
will be preliminary contest be-
tween the Freshmen and eighth grade
teams. These latter teams played to
tie of 6 to 6 on Armistice Day. The
Holyoke team is a strong aggrega-
ton, they having defeated both Hax-
tun and s. c. H. s. on previous occa-
sions this year. Don't fail TO attend
the foot ball games this afternoon.
Come out and root for the home boys;
they need your support, and will ap-
preciate it.

Team No. Three, P. R. Mcdowell,
captain. again was able to win one
out of three, thus not boosting their
percentage one iota.
