MILLER HI Wins
OVER f.. PIERRE
Visitors Held Scoreless. Other Notes
OF Interest In High School

The Miller High School Football
team won from Fl. Pierre in a hard
fought game at the ball park last Sat-
urday by a score of 13 to O.
The scoring was all lone in the first
half. The Fl. Pierre boys coming
back much stronger the second half
and held Miller to a 0 to 0 score. Mil
Ter line outweighed the FIT. Pierre line
five to ten pounds to a man. The
backfields weighed about the same.
Five fumbles during the second half
help keep the score down.
Miller got her first touchdown dur
ing the first quarter, getting the ball
on a punt and going the length of the
field on smashes for a touchdown.
The second touchdown came during
the second quarter. Miller smashed
the length of the field and then COM
pleted a pretty forward pass to Titus
who raced twenty yards across the
line for a touchdown. Shortly after
this Miller had the ball on FIT. Pierre's
forty yard line and McCullen made a
bad pass to Burns which rolled back
fifty yards to Miller's twenty yard
line. Miller worked the ball down the
field and after an exchange of punts
had the ball on FIT. Pierre's thirty
yard line when the half ended.
The second half the ball was in the
center of the field most of the time.
Miller made five bad fumbles, only one
OF which was recovered by Miller.
Fl. Pierre put up a much harder fight
and although Miller outplayed them
to some extent it was close to an
even fight the entire half.
Kenneth Miller, left tackle, was cas-
lily the star of the game for Miller.
His defensive playing was u~nsurpass-
ed by any player on either team. His
line smashing on offense was unusual
ly well done. This is the first time
he has been called upon to carry the
ball and he showed up very we'll.
The next game at Miller will be- on
Thanksgiving day. Faulkton will
play here at that time. Give us a
good turnout and help the boys defeat
Faulkton.
