Football Team Wins From
Mt. HOreb.

On Friday afternoon, September
18th, M. P. H. S. scored the first vic
tory over Mount Horeb High School
for the many years that the two
schools have competed in football.
Mt. Horeb succeeded in getting
the kickoff and the game started
with the ball well down the field. BY
a punt the ball was bumped over the
goal and one of the Mt. Horeb boys
dropped on it, registering score of
2 for Mt. Horeb. When the second
quarter came to a close our boys
were beginning to show up as being
the better team, and when the whist
le blew, they were making rapid
gains toward the goal In the third
quarter a punt was intercepted by
one of our boys and the ball rolled
over the line. In a few moments one
of the team dropped on the ball CIV
ing M. P. HI. S. a score of 6. During
the last quarter the Mt. Horeb team
worked hard but they could not COW
er much ground. The game ended
with the score remaining 6 to 2.
This Friday the boys go to Rich
land Center to play their second
game of the season. The Richland
Center team has not played a game
this year and so nothing is known of
their lineup. The Mt. Horeb and
Richland Center teams are usually
considered the best in this section.
If the team is as successful as it has
been, the honors will go to Mineral
Point. Coaches Mayeau and Butts
deserve much credit; for what they
have accomplished in organizing and
coaching the team.

Platteville Normal Has Banner
Enrolment.

The Journal: The attendance at
the Normal this summer broke all
records for the twentieth century,
but the enrolment for the first two
days this fall is at least five persons
beyond that of the entire summer
school. The number reached Ala
last night, and this is by no means
the end. Last years enrolment was
384 for the entire year, and for the
first two days it was less than 325.
That means that we may expect $50
this year, and, if the attendance in
creases with the year as it has in
the past two, there will be over 500
here next fall. Quite an addition to
our population!
