FOOTBALL, 1928 The Chinook High School football team of 1928 had the most successful season they have had lor several years. They lost one game out of five, which was to Big Sandy.

May. 1929 THE CHINOOK BREEZE 29 but the Chinook line was too much for them. Chinook started out with several fumbles in the back field, but made up for them before the game was over. At the quarter the score was 7-0 in Chinook’s favor. At the end of the half it was 25—0 and they were still going strong. Benton seemed to tighten up in the next quarter and it ended with a score of 3 —0. Noyes, Skillen, and Reser continued to make good runs in the next quarter and the game ended with a score of 49—0. The hottest game of the season was played Friday, October 26 with Glasgow. It was a hard fought g me from beginning to end. There seemed to be quite a lot of fumbling on both sides during this game but lost yardage w'as made up each time by the long runs cf Chinook backfield. There was plenty of excitement all during this game and the fans were in a continuous uproar. However. Chinook did not fail to score in each quarter and the game ended with a score of 26—0. The score was as follows: Chinook — 6 13 19 26 Glasgow — 0 0 0 0 In the last game with Big Sandy. Chinook’s hopes for District Championship vanished. Big Sandy played a wonderful defensive game and showed a decided improvement since September 28. Their offensive work was good and Flatness got away for everal good runs. Chinook had made two touchdowns when Flatness filtered through Chinook defense for a touchdown. In the third quarter a fumble on Chinook’s part resulted in a touchdown for Sandy. There was much discussion over this as the ball was in partial possession of both a Chinook and Sandy man. From there on the game was very tight and Chinook was unable to score. Chinook iime and again marched down to within a few feet cf Sandy’s goal line but failed to score each time. The game ended with a score of 12—13 in Sandy’s favor and Chinook's hopes vanished. We feel that this last game was a flunk and although it prevented us from playing for the District Championship, we are confident that they will be revenged next year. We lose but few' of the football men this year, including Capt. Skillen, Salfer, Brinkman, and McPherson, but we are sure this will be made up by new recruits. Professor W. T. Scott, Director of the Inter-schola tic Football Elimination, gave H. Brinkman. W. Skillen, B. Noyes, J. Sackett. and M. Proctor honorable mention on the 1928 football team.
