Finding time hanging heavy on their hands, the local high school boys went over to Bird Island Saturday evening and trimmed the high school team of that place 53-16.

Morton jumped into the lead and in less than five minutes the score was 15 to 0. Bird Island waking up at this point, held them down and started a score of their own. The first period ended 38-7.

In the next half Bird island played strictly on the defensive while Morton tried to get as much team-work as possible, and as the result there was little scoring. The game was clean and exciting throughout, and the referees’ decisions were unquestioned.
