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.

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 ]

Coach Beresford called practice about November 16. Every man started out at the bottom with drill in the fundamentals. As soon as fundamentals were mastered, more advanced work was undertaken. The result was a fast, smooth, cooperative team which showed up very well in every game of the season. The first conference game was played at Sterling. Brush lost the game but fought hard and held Sterling to a seven-point lead in the final score. The following Friday, Brush played Fort Morgan under almost the same conditions and with almost the same result, Morgan having a seven-point lead. That was the night when Jerry Martin just could not miss that little steel ring. However, it was now Brush’s turn. The team underwent a complete change in spirit and action. The Beetdiggers played a hard, fast game to defeat Sterling 20-17 on the home floor. ( Pcme Ticentu-iico 1
