This' year' football 'was again' reswmlefd A--in Hancock after many years of absence, but in a differ-ent form. In place of the regular eleven- man team Hancock adopted the popular new six-man football. During the early fall Coach Wartman with the aid of several boys laid out a field on the ball park grounds. A league was formed in which six teams took part-Hancock, Starbuck, Alberta, Clinton, Graceville, and Chokio. Hancock for its first year of six-man football turned in a successful season winning three of seven gamles. Two of these victories were prized ones since they were over teams that had been playing eleven-man football before changing to six-man football teams. Having all new equipment to begin their first year of six-man footb.all the boys have been particularly enthusiastic about the new sport. Practices were held nearly every afternoon for about three hours and on Saturdays. ' Theischedule of games follows: Hancock 26 Graceville 6 Hancock 26 Alberta 32 Hancock 12 Chokio 46 Hancock 18 Starbuck 56 Hancock 26 Hoffman 18 Hancock 19 Clinton 13 Hancock 26 Murdock 43 Of this year's squad only two members are graduating-Donald Domek, quarterback, and Bill Grandjean, end and center. Both of these boys have done outstanding work on the squad, but the major portion of the boys will be back next year. Those who will be on the squad next year from ths year's group will be: Robert Reese, Harold Foss, Bill Fiedler, Jack West, Waldo Thurston, Henry Quasebarth, Donald Thompson, and Donald Fiedler.
