their visit They felt tbit tho championship as claimed in tho daily papers by their press cor respondent was as good as cinched for 1909 The two lines cf warriors marched to tho martial strains of the high school fifes and drums down Main avenue ac companied by the largest line of rooters ever marshaled out to a McCook foot ball game The grounds had been worked on all the forenoon but could hardly be called good when the warriors lined up for battle The Scandinavians kicked to McCook and the game was on The ball was immediately forced into Holdrege territory and there it remained till about tue end of the first half when Campbell made the grandest drop kick for goal ever made by a high school team In the second half both teams were penalized several times but not once in the entire game was McCooks goal ever in danger In three successive line rushes Mc Cook broke through for gains and the third for a touch down by Campbell who was simply dragged thrown and pulled through the line by his team mates He immediately kicked goal and the score stood 9 to 0 in favor of McCook Many who saw the kick thought it unfair but it went over a goal post and Coach Swensen of Holdrege sustained Referee Woods in his decision Thus the sons from the land of the Midnight Sun left the field and the championship of Southern Nebraska with McCook NOTES ON THE LAST AND FUTURE GAMES The Holderge line was rent asunder easily Not a single bruise was sustained in the entire game The local team was on the offensive the entire game Holdrege lost the game because of over confidence Evans Allen Williams and Ryan
