This team was an experiment to discover if G. H. S. could sponsor a squad of the same caliber of the other shore aggregations. The boys, who played with borrowed suits and without experience, turned in a wonderful performance and were backed up nobly by many interested enthusiastic supporters. Although Coach Emory Tuthill had little more than a week in which to prepare the boys, his excellent tutelage and conditioning put them men in shape by game time and allowed them to outclass their experienced rivals in all parts of the game. It was possible to schedule only two games, both with Hand High School of Madison. The scores run up by the Rams were even greater than those inflicted upon Madison by Morgan High School, the state champions. The playing of Captain joe Morasky was the highlight of the season. His leadership in blocking and tackling, together with the accurate passes of jacob- sen and the touchdowns of Loomis kept the team on the march. It was a brilliant performance and an auspicious beginning for football in G. H. S. 34 E
