HARTINGTON - One of the snappiest and most closely contested football games ever seen on the local gridiron was staged here Monday between Hartington and Randolph.
The game opened when Hartington kicked to Randolph and from that time until the last whistle the game was a fine contest of football wit, science and strategy. No great, spectacular plays were made by either team, but the game was hard-fought throughout and whatever gains were achieved were won by persistent team work.
The first scoring was in the first quarter when Hartington was forced back of her own goal line by the relentless hammering of Randolph and the visitors scored two points. In the second quarter, Vernon Nedrow, Hartington’s brilliant little quarterback, went over for a touchdown on a smash, and Robinson kicked the goal. This made the score 7 to 2 in favor of H. H. S. and so the score remained until the end of the game.
Monday was an ideal day for football, the campus was in prime condition and the game was witnessed by a large number. Randolph came over with a strong and enthusiastic backing and the gridiron was a gay and riotous scene of color, noise and activity.
Dr. Rogers acted as referee, Mr. Farrow of Randolph as umpire, Chas. Jones as timekeeper and Art Mengshol as linesman.

HARTINGTON - Less jazz is to be furnished to the automobile owners of Nebraska in the colors of the license plates for cars next year, as the color combination for 1926 is to be black and green instead of the dazzling orange and black which makes the 1925 plates a thing of beauty and a joy forever.
The background of the 1926 plates is to be black, a nice somber hue like the inside of a black cat at midnight on the darkest night of the year. On this shiny black background will be the numbers in light green. The latter color is supposed to enable a speeding motorist to placate the wrath of all the traffic cops of Hibernian origin. In this respect, Sheriff Peter Clarence says he has no connections, present, past or future, with Erin, so the speeders had better watch their step, even with the new plates.
The wear and tear on eyes isn’t expected to be so bad with the new color combination as it was with the brilliant hues of the 1925 plates.
