Blissfi-eld came to Addison on November l6th. They fought hard to win from our team but could do no mor-e than tie us. The game was one of great excitement and was considered by many the best game played on our home field during the season. The score was six to six. Blissfield's team was fast and well balanced. Their player of most notice was Sheldon, who administered many a successful end run dur- ing the game. The plunging of Scott of Addison High was the offensive feature, while Van Camp and Thompson in the line and Scott and Brown in the back-fi-eld were the features of defense. On November 23rd, Addison went to Morenci where they were badly beaten. Morenci's team was one of experience and outweighed our team by far. Each and every first team player on their squad was perfected to the height of High School training. A Our team fought hard against the great odds and put over a field goal in the third quarter. Due to the loss and disablement of players Addison was probably defeated to a greater extent than if the players had not been injured. Addis-on High won her last game of the season from Jonesville on November 29th, at vlonesville. The score was twenty-seven to seven. Jonesville made very little gain on the field, but fought with a steady determination. , Line plunges and forward passes were the outstanding offensive plays of our team, while the defensive plays seemed to concern all.

After a 'few lmww ieilfri weeks of strenuous pr-actice, under the instruction of Coach M. C. Hilton, the vacancies of the pre- ceeding year's team were filled and a team was chosen. The outlook for a successful season was very bright, -and the team, supported by a smiling and yelling ,student body, showed some of the finest spirit and sportsmanship throughout the season. The team of 1923 won every game that they participated in, in the n-orth division of the county. A Blissfield was the champion of the south division of the county and our team met them, Field Day, at Hudson on May 26th, 1923. The game was one of great excitment, for the two teams fought with a great determination to win. V The batteries for the game were Zinzer and Frye of Blissfield and Bauman and Miller of Addison. At the end of the first inning Blissfield led by a score of 5 to l. They continued adding to their score up until the fifth inning. At that time the score was 9 to 43 Addison having made three runs in the third inning, due to a two-bagger by Shoemaker. Bauman add-ed another point to Addison's score in the seventh inn- ing by knocking 'the old pill for a home run. - Addison held Blissfield to their total score of nine up until the ninth inning. During the ninth inning Addison made -no further addition to their score, but Blissfield put their final up to thirteen. Wlhen the game was finished, the score was called, Blissfield 133 Addison 6. Each and every player of both teams gave three, good, hearty yells for their opponents, which is a sure sign of fair winners and good losers.
