Douglas went into the game with a determination to win and at the end of the half with two touchdowns piled up against them. the boys were gamer than ever. In the last half Douglas came back with her one touchdown and showed the Laramie boys a real fight. XVHIEATLAND O-4l Douglas calne back the next week and won over the XYheatland team -l-l to U. This was XYheatland's first year of football for several years, but they showed up very well and in another year will need to be watched by all opponents. LUSK O-41 Douglas showed her stuff in this game against Lusk. Lusk was known to be a hard and low hitting team and had several games to their record. The score is not a criterion of the strength of the two teams because Douglas made ten first downs to Lusk's six, which would indicate that the teams are quite evenly matched. Douglas' knowledge of the game. coupled with some nice interference, spelled the difference in score. TORRINGTON O-71 y Torrington. the past years has. had one- of the strongest teams in the state and Douglas anticipated such a tveamg this year. However. the Goshen team was not up to the Douglas team that day. lt seems that this was the first time during the year that the team played as a complete unit. and a large score was the result.
