Football Twenty-eight boys reported to Coach Selbo for football for the 1953 season. This is a considerably larger number than has reported for prac- tice the past few years. Brodhead is the largest city in the league and has had the smallest representation in football. Brodhead 7, Blanchardville 28 Blanchardville scored a touchdown early in the game and went on to win the game. Jerry Christensen scored Brodhead's only touchdown in the second quarter on a two-yard plunge. Jerry scored on a sixty-yard run earlier in the game but it was nullified. The game was played in a heavy downpour. Brodhead 32, New Glarus 32 Brodhead got off to a flying start against New Glarus and had a 20-6 lead by the half time period. In the second half the lights went out for twenty-five minutes. When the lights came back on, Brodhead couldn't get started and New Glarus started to roll. The game ended after a fierce battle, a 32-32 tie ball game. Brodhead 41, Belleville 26 Brodhead played Belleville for Homecoming foes and really did a splendid job of making a good Homecoming by defeating Belleville 41- 26. Jerry Christensen, the Homecoming King, scored four touchdowns while Allen Schlittler and Dick Badertscher each scored one. Brodhead 45, Argyle 30 The Brodhead team was terrific as they ran over Argyle 45-30. The touchdowns were scored by Marsh, Strommen, Williams, and four by Badertscher. Christensen and Schlittler also did some fine running and passing. Brodhead 27, Orfordville 6 Brodhead kept right on rolling as they trounced Orfordville. Christensen and Marsh each scored twice to spoil Orfordville's Home- coming. The other members of the team also played fine ball. Brodhead 27, Juda 46 Brodhead was defeated by a strong Juda team that was really keyed up for Brodhead. If Juda never won a game, they would be tough when they met Brodhead. Christensen and Strommen each scored two touchdowns. Brodhead 20, Brooklyn 18 Brodhead took second place by defeating Brooklyn. This was a fine way to finish up the season. In this game Jerry Christensen, the only senior, saw his last action in football. Jerry played outstanding ball all during the season. The rest of the squad also played fine ball and Brod- head should have a tough team again next year.
