24 THE schools, which leads men to sub- merge individuality and give their very best efforts for the school. The finest football team that ever stepped into cleated shoes will not be effective and victorious over the poorest oppo- sition, if the members of that team constantly resort to what is known as individual play. Rather would I have a team composed of mediocre players whose spirit is that which characterized the famous Three Mus- keteers: All for one, one for all, than a team of all stars whose slogan is All for myself alone. 1 In your games with other teams al- ways be clean sportsmen and deal in fair play only. I would rather see your football team defeated in every game than to have one man on any opposing team truthfully say he was the victim of dirty play from any one of your players. Now to you students at large: un- less you give this team your utmost support, no matter what efforts the boys put forth, they are doomed to failure. Each and every man should consider it his duty to turn out and encourage the team at each practice and be ready and willing to give whatever service may be asked of him. In this connection let me say that you are fortunate in having for athletic director Frank Flaherty, than whom there is no better coach in this city or the surrounding cities. I have been told that the athletic association is offering season tickets, which will admit the holder to all the football, basketball and baseball games this season for the small price of 33-4.00, which means about 20 cents for each game. Now get behind these tickets, boys, and I believe that with earnest effort you should each be able to sell at least three tickets, which ECHO will mean a successful financial sea- son for your team. In conclusion let me say to you in all your efforts work for the general good of the school and your school is bound to prosper and to lead in ath- letics as it now leads in education. Football Review The tie game with Grand Rapids on Thanksgiving day drew a veil over what has proved to be the most suc- cessful football season C. C. H. S. has enjoyed. Losing but two games out of eight, and taking the City Scholas- tic Championship is a record of which we may justly feel proud. But this splendid record might have been an- ticipated as nearly all of last year's regulars were still with us. Seven men in all were lost to the team. Cap- tain Pud Koehl, 'Hanson and Haley by graduation, Hickman and Eckart left school, while Rinehart and Suel- zer, due to injuries, were not allowed to play. The veterans around whom Coach Flaherty built up this year's team were: Clifford fcaptainj, Bushman, Donahue, Koehl, Graf, Centlivre, McKiernan and Mulligan. At the initial call for candidates thirty-two gridders reported for practice. Those who earned a place on the squad by hard work and abil- ity Were: Berghoff, Foohey, Fink, McLaughlin, Kinder, Hedekin, Kel- ker, Pequignot, Elliot, Waite, Lynch, Baltes, Belot and McGrath. SEPTEMBER 30. C. C. H. S.. 7. GARRETT HIGH, 12 We opened our football season on September 30 with a game against our old rival, Garrett High School, and went down in defeat after a fierce struggle. The game was a fast one but marred by frequent fumbles. It

Z6 THE was a pretty game to watch from the sidelines. We met a stronger foe than we had anticipated and it was not until the last period that our lads could pull themselves together and play their best brand of football. During the first few minutes of play Dickson carried the ball over our line for a touchdown, after a series of end runs and off-tackle plays. We carried the ball successfully to their 15-yard line after the kickoff. There their line held and Garrett got the ball on downs. They started a march down the field but lost the ball on a fumble just as the quarter ended. It was our ball at the bmeginning of the second quarter and passes to kinder and Bushman carried the ball to their 20-yard line. Again Garrett's line held and Graf's attempted drop- kick failed. The half soon ended. Elliot recovered a fumble atthe start of the second half and we again started another drive toward Gar- rett's goal line. Graf grabbed a pass for 25 yards and a line plunge netted 10 yards more. A long pass a trifle too high for Bushman despite his desperate leap, grounded and Gar- rett took the ball on their own 15- yard line. At the outset of the fourth quarter Dickson intercepted a forward pass and raced thirty yards for another touchdown against us. We followed with an aerial attack that brought us to their 3-yard line. Kelker went over for the touchdown. Donahue kicked goal and shortly after the game ended. The fast work of Garrett's back- field gave the visitors the decision. lluslnnan at right end played the best game for us. ECHO OCTOBER 14. C. C. H. S., 64. HUNTINGTON, 6. After dropping the first game to Garrett, the C. C. H. S. team jour- neyed to Huntington to break into the win column and their efforts were re- warded by an overwhelming victory of 64 to 6. Huntington's lone touchdown came in the first few minutes of the game. After this the Huntington lads were held powerless while the C. C. H. S. eleven scored almost at will, making a total of ten touchdowns. With a varied assortment of line plunges, forward passes and end runs that be- wildered the Lime City lads the only question that arose was how large the score would be. Koehl was the in- dividual star with his open field run- ning for long gains. Five of these were good for touchdowns. Donahue, Bresnahan and Centlivre also played fine football. McKiernan, center for C. C. H. S., recovered a fumble and ran 20 yards for a touchdown. Baker, wno played right end for Huntington, was their star and made their lone touchdown. OCTOBER 21. C. C. H. S., 19. F. W. C. H., 3. On October 21st we met the Fort Wayne Central High School varsity for the scholastic championship of the city. The day was all that could be desired for football purposes. The week before Frank Flaherty had put the boys through stiff practice ses- sions and they were all primed to walk rough-shod over our old rivals. The game itself got under way at 2:30. o'clock. Fort Wayne kicked off and the bat- tle was on. The first quarter, though replete with thrills, was scoreless. From then on, however, the odds
