HARTINGTON - Last Friday the local football field was the scene of two old rivals, Hartington and Crofton.
The day was an ideal one, the sky was clear, with a slight cool northwest breeze blowing gently over the gridiron.
The game was called about 3:30 with the Knox county choosing the north goal.
Hartington kicked and Crofton returned the ball about 20 yards. They seemed to have difficulty in finding holes in the Hartington line, playing a few plays and then choosing to kick.
Livermore returned the ball about 15 yards. A few line plays, and then Hartington brought the ball into scoring distance.
A pass from Peterson to Livermore was good for Hartington’s first touchdown. Hartington piled up two more the first quarter making it 20 to 0.
Joe O’Furey substituted for Mc-Connaha at half, playing exceptionally well for a new man.
Coach Knapp made several changes in the line, giving the new men a chance to show their spirit for old H. H. S.
The final score shows the Purple and White piled up a count of 39 to 0.
Picking out individual stars would be doing injustice to the rest, as they all played the game like old veterans.
In the back field Miller, Livermore and Peterson showed up exceptionally well, while Roddewig, Aspen, and H. Morten made things bad for Crofton in the center of the line. Clausen and Nordby nailed everything that came their way on ends.

HARTINGTON - The election of the boy and girl cheer leaders was held Friday. In preference to the general nominating from the school at large, the classes were allowed to elect one boy and one girl to represent them as cheer leaders.
These eight people were then considered the nominees for the school cheer leaders. The senior nominees were: Walter Johnson and Georgia Miller; the junior put forth, Marvin Olsen and Bernice Ferguson; the sophomores had Joseph O’Furey and Mildred Peck while the freshmen had Gilbert Roberge and Florence Hill.
In the afternoon the election was held. Walter Johnson was chosen boys’ cheer leader on the first ballot but a second election was necessary for the election of the girl cheer leader. This was between Georgia Miller and Bernice Ferguson. Bernice won out and was elected girls’ cheer leader.
