FOOTBALL In the lime kiln of athletics the 1930 lootball season was quite successful in many ways, even though Brush High School failed to take the championship of this conference. There were about fifty boys out for the first football practice although by the end of the week the number had decreased considerably. The remaining boys, with a few excep- tions, finished the season under the direction of Coach Rickert and Assistant Coach Beresford. T he season was opened by a game with Creeley at Oreeley. Brush showed up very well indeed by holding the Greeley “Wildcats” to a score of 20-0. Greeley had almost the same team with which they tied for state championship in 1929. In the game with Eaton the following week Brush experienced a let-down by losing to Eaton, 40-0. [ Pagc Twcntp ]

Page — Rickert — Beresford COACHES Brush High was fortunate in securing three of the best lime kiln foremen obtainable this year. Two of them, Stuart Beresford and Lewis J. Rickert, are teachers in the high school, while Frank Page, the girls’ basketball coach, is an eighth-grade teacher. Mr. Rickert, who is a graduate of Western State Teachers College, is head football coach and coaches second team basketball. Mr. Beresford graduated two years ago from the University of Colorado. He coaches first team basketball and second team football. Frank Page graduated from Denver University and has coached prominent girls' teams for several years. His coaching ability has been demonstrated by the girls performance on the floor. “Lew” was all-conference end in the 1929 football season, and anyone who has been out for football can tell you why. “Stew” was a star basketball player throughout his col- lege years. Anyone who is out for basketball can tell you about this, too. Both Mr. Rickert and Mr. Beresford were star performers on the Brush Community Basketball team. Every time Brush High School is represented in an athletic contest, these men are behind our performers. All our success in both boys’ and girls’ athletics we owe directly to these three men, and they deserve our fullest support. [ Page Nineteen 1

SAGEBRUSH Brush cleaned Sterling in the first conference game by a score of 12-7. The Beet- diggers played their best football of the season in this game. The team was functioning perfectly, the boys felt good, and Brush’s “pep was at its height. The next conference game was with our old rival, Fort Morgan. Morgan defeated the scrappy Beetdiggers’ team. Then the boys’ turn came again when they defeated Sterling - at Brush by a score of 12-0. This game put Sterling out of the running for the confer- ence championship and left it to Brush and Morgan. The Armistice Day classic was held at Fort Morgan, and it was there that Jerry Martin and his team defeated Brush High School and won for Fort Morgan the coveted silver football. Although we did not win the championship, the season was successful from other standpoints. Many freshmen and sophomores gained valuable football experience which they will have opportunity to use during the next two or three years. Those who received letters are: Clayton Giauque, Alfred Gallegos, Lester Lindell, Lester Last, Doyle Clark, Captain Egon Hansen, Gordon Marble, Eugene Kraemer, Ivan Danielson, Clarence Harness, Art Luedke, William Stover, Lloyd Schooley and Ted Pollock.
