A class football game between '98 and '99 preceded the field day contest. The con test was uneventful as no records were broken or even closely approached. The junior senior football game consisted of two fifteen minute halves. Much class spirit was evinced and the game was a hard fought one through out. The seniors began the game by gradu ally shoving the pig shin toward '99's goal lino. Stoady gains and an end run by Green bill took the ball Avifhin seven yards of '99's goal line. The juniort resented this hasty attempt and the pigskin was started the other way. By the effective work of Strock, Hoag land, Hastie and Wise the ball was soon on '98's twenty yard line. Time was called. Score 0-0. Tn the second half '99 proposed to do things up right. Stoady gains were followed by end runs of Hoagland, Hastie carried the ball for a slight gain; Strock pushed it through the center for a large gain carrying it within three feet of goal line. The dignified members of '98 saw that this would not do and the ball was started on its return. The seniors made rapid gains. Greoribill wont around the end for twenty-gve yards. Bill ran into a specta -tor which upset his plans in regard to making a touch down.
