XX UMHEILW Il D The Football Season The I920 football season cannot be called a wonderful success, neither was it a terrible failure. The team had hard luck all season and never hit their winning streak until the last of the year. Two games were won, one tied and five lost. U The team was a little late in getting started owing to the theft. during the summer, of most of the equipment and only three weeks of practice was held before the first game with Sistersville on our home grounds. The stealing of uniforms was one of the worst deeds ever recorded in the local athletic history and although several of the jerseys were returned none of the thieves were caught, Coach Sweeney had to contend with many difficulties for prac- tically the majority of the I9I9 team was lost, either, by graduation or failure of players to return this year, Ryan, Rickey, Schaub, Wood- burn and Young of the regular team were left and soon after the first game, Captain Schaub was injured in the manual training cle- partment and was lost for the rest of the season. This was a great blow to the team. The first game was an easy victory for Moundsville over Sisters- ville. Although no large scores were made, except in the Parkersburg game, all the remaining games except two were lost, usually by one touchdown and' then in the last part of the game. Although the season was not the success that has been the record for Moundsville in the past, there are hopes of a great team next year with Woodburn, Hamilton, Fletcher, Joseph, Purdy, Robinson, Reed, McMahon and Warner left as the nucleus on which to build, besides many men who have not come out for the team previously and those who will enter next year.
