HERE BY y TO q
Khegel Is Star of Game; Brawley
Boys Put Up Fine Fight
Holding 1.-The Well

II was a clear cold Saturday after
noon that the Brawley high school
football team was defeated by Central's
Blue and White eleven by score of
so. Brawley won the toss and elected
to kick off. FL Centre defended the
north goal. After an exchange of punts
Central got the ball in the center Of
the field and by series of line bucks
and end runs, with Paine, Kliegel, and
Scott carrying the ball, put the ball on
Brawley's five yard line. With two
downs to make the goal the FL Centre
team plunged with might and main but
failed to dent the powerful Brawley |
defense. Brawley received the ball
six inches from the goal line and i'm |
mediately punted out of danger. Three
more times in the first half Central had |
the ball within the Brawley five yard
line but failed to score.
The second half started with FL
Centre kicking and Brawlcy defending
the south goal After failing to gam
in three attempts Brawley punted. The
bah was downed on Central's 80 yard
line. Taking the ball FL Centre ran
it straight down to Brawley's five
yard line where the fighting Brawley
eight minutes left to play FL Centre
started an offensive down the field.
two nice forward passes Klicgel TO
Gibbs, Kliegel to Starr, and a thrilling
end run by the dashing little half back
Ghy Scott, put the ball on the eight
yard line with four downs to make the
goal. After bueking the line in vain
for four downs the ball was still eight
cen inches from the goal line. Again
Brawley punted out of danger. Stat
ford received the bah in the middle of
the field and ran Is yards before he
was downed. A forward pass from
Kliegel TO Starr and an end run by
Scott brought the bali to Brawley 5
five yard line with two and half
minutes to play.
Scott Misses Try for Point
Kliegel was called for a smash
through the right side of the line and
responded with an effort that resulted
in the only touchdown of the game. On
the try for point Scott missed the goal
by inches leaving the score Go. Brawl
ey kicked off to Central who carried
the bali by IA series of plays, one OF
which was n 40 yard run by Kliegel, TO
The Brawley 10 yard line. With one
minute to 90 the Blue and White eleven
made q desperate attempt to score and
when the final whistle blew had the
ball three yards from the goal.
The game was interesting from the
start and there was not a duh moment
in the whole afternoons play. Although
Central carried the ball for many yards
during the game they seemed to iack
the necessary punch to put the ball
over.
Brawley is to be commended on the
wonderful fight they put up to keep
the Central team from scoring. The
features OF the game were Kliegel 5
passing to Gibbs and Starr, and Stat
ford's return of punts. Central's line
outplayed the Brawley line in many
ways.
Next Saturday the two leading teams
of the league, Galexico and III Centre,
will meet at the Central field in the
warmest game of the season. Central s
team will be well prepared for the
mntch. A large crowd is expected as
the game will doubtless decide the
championship of the valley.
.-l f1rawley Plays Good Game
y The boys from the north, placed,
on the defensive at the outset
OF the game, played a wonderful game
epd too much credit cannot be given
Tor the way they stood up against the
lihe piunges of Kliegel, Scott and
Paine. Kliegel, in addition to playing
sfnr linc.plunging game, was the en-
gineering half of two pretty forward
passes and also showed Improvement
IN his kicking on the few occasions
when Central had to kick. Scott is
little demon. On the sidelines Satur-
day he brought joy to the hearts of
a number of old football fans by the
wonderful ability he showed in carry
ing the ball. In the last quarter, he
fumbled q pass but quickly recovered
and with the spuirming and dodging
tactics OF cornered jackrabbit, made
his way through the Brawley field for
q 30 yard run.
Scott is conner. As he has one
more year at Central, can be a help
10 the school team. Though not the
spectacular player Scott is, nor as
