When You

You have two courses open when

Even well-to-do people take no

FOOTBALL GAME AT EWING.
The foot ball game with Ewing,
scheduled for October 3rd, was post
poned and played on October 7th, at
Ewing.
The game, ending in a tie score,
6 to 6, proved to be a ragged affair,
due no doubt to the fact that it was
the first game of the season, and forj
nearly all the players, the first in
which they had ever participated.
However they showed in the second
half, particularly, when they held Ew
ing for downs repeatedly, that they
have the potential power with a lit
tle more “seasoning,” they should give
a good account of themselves in the
games which follow.
Ewing’s score came early in the
third period, as a result of a blocked
punt and two forward passes.
O’Neill’s lone counters was made in
the last three minutes of play, when
runs by Downey, Hunt, Hall and Ar
buthnot ended in the ball being car
ried across the chalk line by Hall. The
game ended with Ewing in passing
of the ball on their own twenty yard
line.
The work of Captain Merle Hunt,
fullback; A. Carney, tackle and Jack
Arbuthnot, quarterback, were bright
spots in the otherwise featureless
game.
An effort is being made to secure a
home game with an out of town team
for Friday, October 9th. Should the
plans fail to materialize a game will
be arranged with the Alumnae of 0.
H. S.
The schedule to date, calls for
games with Ainsworth, Butte, Spen
cer and Ewing. Others will be ar
randed in the very near future.

We may enjoy it, play and dance
to some of it, write to some of it, use
it to illustrate geography, history,
or reading lesson.

has played an important part in the

of a country reflects every mood and
thought, and is a type of the progress
of its people.
