OSCEOLA MILLS DOWNED BY BELLEFONTE HIGH. Last Friday an inspird Bellefonte Hi eleven defeated the Osceola Mills team to the tune of 19-7. The Red and White warriors literally walked over the highly praised gridders from Osceola during the first half of the game. However, the visitors were able to score one touchdown. In the second half Osceola start- ed a strong offensive and the going was much harder for the local team. But at that they scored two touch- downs in this half, by the alertness of the players when they fell on one of their own kick-offs after it had pes:ed over the Osceola goal un- touched. After this both teams plaved good ball and the honors were quite even. i C.
