HARTINGTON — The question of high school athletics was the subject of a lively session of the Hartington school Board at its Monday session.
The entire subject was debated on all sides at considerable length during the meeting.
There has been some criticism of the action of high school teams in this section abandoning their school work on Friday afternoons for the purpose of participating in athletic contests with other high school teams. This concern was brought to the attention of the board by many area parents.
The idea of high school athletics, as explained by one of the board members, is to encourage healthy exercise by those that are in need of it. While this theory, if acted upon, would be productive and of much good. The actual condition is that the larger and stronger students are given the prominent place on the various teams, and every effort is put forth to win, other vital considerations are then frequently overlooked.
The recent attempt by various area schools to play graduates and teachers was brought to the attention of the board as evidence of present unsatisfactory conditions. After considerable discussion, members of the board, in an informal way, expressed their approval of the abandonment of athletic contests on days on which regular school sessions are held.
Baseball and football hereafter have to be played on Saturdays and on holidays.
The decision of the board will not become effective until next year, as only one more football game remains to be played and that is with Crofton on Thanksgiving Day.
The basketball games are played in the evening, so they do not interfere with school work, the Board was told.

HARTINGTON — Hartington demonstrated its ability to come back, a skill that helped them win a 12-0 decision over Coleridge Friday.
Playing with the pep and ginger which was so characteristic during the early part of the season, the locals did not allow their foes to even approach their goal and only allowed them to make a first down six times.
Hirschman played his first game since being injured early in the season and no one who saw him can say that he showed any effect of his injury. He had plenty of speed, headwork and pep and he was one of the big factors in winning the game.
Near the end of the second quarter, Hirschman got away on an end run and traveled 60 yards for a touchdown.
