BOSCOBEL II
Riverites Too Slow For
Nimble County Seaters.
Score % to 6.

Lancaster high school football
team journeyed to Boscobel Friday
afternoon and defeated Boscobel by
the score of % to on the Boscobel
fair ground field.
Boscobel presented a fine looking
team that must have outweighed the
Lancaster team at least an average
of ten pounds to the man. The men
are big and strong and some of them
exceptionally fast but, as this is Bos-
cobel's first year in football in long
time, they are all green at the game
and proved no match for the lighter
but more experienced boys from the
county set However, they must be
given credit for gameness and fighting
spirit and, if too many of them are
not lost this year by graduation, it
will be we'll to look out for them in
another year.
BOscObeI Wins Kickoff.
BoscobeI kicked off and the ball was
downed on Lancaster's 20-yard line.
Lancaster at once started a march
down the field, making seven success
sive first downs and planting the ball
behind BoscobePs goal posts seven
minutes after the kickoff Clement
son added the extra point by place
kick and the score was Lancaster z
and Boscobel 0.
Lancaster Takes the Ball Through
Lancaster kicked off to Boscobel
and again the ball was put in play
on the 20-yard line. Boscobel made
yard through the line and on the
next play Kemp got loose around
.oloA rHc
touchdown. Boscobel tried to make
the extra point by an end run but
failed and the score stood Lancaster
7, Boscobel 6, where it remained to
the end of the quarter
Lancaster scored again in the Sec
ond quarter and was we'll on the way
to another touchdown when the half
ended with the score IA to in favor
of Lancaster.
Second Half Like the First.
The second half was repetition of
the first except that Lancaster had
learned it's lesson and did not let
Kemp get away. In fact most of his
attempts resulted in his being thrown
for losses. Lancaster mixed forward
passes, end runs and line plunges
in the last half of the game in such
manner as to completely bewllder
their less experienced opponents and
scored a touchdown in each quarter.
That at least two more touch-doWns
were not scored was due to couple
of fumbles at critical times, an in
tercepted forward pass and a Is
yard penalty where it hurt. The
score when the final whistle blew
was Lancaster %, Boscobel 6.
The whole team showed up we'll at
times but their work was not uni
formly good. The ball was fumbled
more often than it should have been
on such a field and careless play al
lowed Kemp to score his touchdown
Such things must not occur in any
one of the three remaining games or
disaster will surely ensue.
Edwards, McKelvey, Sweeney and
Schloesser, while he lasted, played
brilliantly at times. The work of
Clementson and Cook at the ends
was pretty to look at and Clement
sons four goals from placement after
touch-downs was perfect record
However, the team must not lose
sight of the fact that they were up
against a green team and that the
same amount of effort will not pro-
duce the same results against Mt
Horeb, Mineral Point or Fennimore.
Boosters Help Considerably.
That the boost the Kiwanis club
has given football is bearing fruit is
evidenced by the fact that no jess
than IA Lancaster cars made the trip
and the Lancaster crowd was nearly
as large as that from Boscobel. The
cars to transport the team to the
game were furnished free by Messrs.
Brennan, Roy Mccoy, Henry Gerloch,
E. J. Bennett, Frank Richardson and
DR.. Fowler. This is as it should be-
Encourage the boys and they will
give you a better game. Let the good
work go OH but do not let always en-
the same men. 1t should be consld-
cred a privilege ard not duty. No
man can lose anything by being pop
ular with the boys of his town and
nothing can make him more popular
than showing an interest in the var
ious sports that mean so much to
them.
Next Friday the team plays a re-
turn game with Mineral Point on the
home grounds. M. P. beat them three
weeks ago and the boys are out for
revenge. Be at the game and see
them get it.
