It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate-we cannot consecrate -we cannot hallow this ground. Our brave fellows, clad in Orange and Black who struggled there have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. Cameron will little note nor long remember what we said there, but it can never forget what we did there. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great unfinished task before us-that we here highly resolve that from this honorable de- feat we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave their last full measure of devotion-that this school, when they meet Cameron next year, shall have a new birth of freedom and that the Orange and Black of Moundsville Hi, for Moundsville Hi, and by Nloundsville Hi, shall never again be lowered to defeat, JU fl Il l92l'U XX l ID

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.
