Mt. Pleasant boys on the High School
field Friday afternoon, the score be-
ing 44 to 12 when the game came to a
close.
The only scores that the visitors
made came as a result of putting the
second team into the field after the
first string boys had proved their su-
periority over their opponents during
the first quarter. Coach Wade let
the substitutes work until Mt. Pleas-
ant had only a slight lead over De-
port, but when the regulars took the
field in the last quarter they kept
the rest of the
game, while they piled up twenty-six
more points to add to the eighteen
they'alrfehdy had made.
Considering the size of the .town,
Deport had a wonderful team, and
soipe of the players showed real class.
Thby were considedably lighter than
the jlocal team, but they fought them,
to llhe last minute, playing a clean
game throughout; There was no
squabbling or protesting during any
part «i the game.
