“

Alton from an Athletic Standpoint. In dear old Alton High the athletic ability has decreased some in the last ten years. The school spirit has decreased to a great extent in that period and the financial backing of the team is terrible. Now to help remedy this, I advise that an Athletic Association be formed with all loyal boys as members. Each boy would pay one dollar or more for an A. A. ticket, which would be a pass into any High School athletic games that year. The girls should form a similar organization. The Board of Education would probably back such bodies and carry athletics on a much higher basis. This last year football was the predominating sport. Coach Woods was competent and had good material, but the fellows had the old-time spirit and everybody knows the result. Nobody was down in their studies then, because if they were they would not be missed. There are about ten letter men back and we hope the football team of 1917 will be a second 1912 team, with a competent coach. Basketball was not supported this year as it should be. With an average of thirty men every night for football, there should be twenty-five or thirty for basketball. Yet Woods had an average of ten to fifteen men every night for basketball. The team was discouraged at first by the deficiencies in studies of several experienced men. Only one game was played here, but it was well attended. The team had a hard time but deserves credit. So far no track meets have been scheduled. The class track meet has scared every other school by the records made. The fellows have been working hard and they deserve a chance anyway, and if they get it we will all enjoy the celebration. Coach Woods has put the old spirit into Alton High School athletics. Now let’s keep it and use it and show the Alumni that the same old spirit sparkles that has carried and will carry Alton teams to victory. Yo she poured out the liquid music of her voice to quench the thirst of his spirit.—Leone Giberson. 8 8
