A trip about 70 miles pn Saturday night to see them fail before Osgood's Cowboys 28-19 The first time In history that this has and the Tigers falling to get a goal in the first half Thanks to Doe Seitz the BrookylUe fair was placed on tEe-right side ofTthe ledger He scored all the points in 'the first quarter six and continued tb run his string to 11 The other 14 points just helped to gun up the score Getting away to a groggy start but still In the lead Wunker and Yates were Inserted Into the lineup jmd with Eberhart Seitz and Ryle proved 'going comblntian They forgot they 'were tough

Brookvllle 80 to 20 and downing Osgood 20-17 One strange thing is that MoCool Sellers and Darling should be playing regularly with the 'second team fellows who will never be' more than second stringers if they play for the next ten yean while holding down the bench are Houze and Kaffenberg Freshmen who never get much chance The first three are all-Juniors and have probably -reached their
