LEN TOWNSHIP CENTRALIZED SCHOOL- 9 Football ATS oif-Some good man has mentioned that sturdy Allen townshil7 f00t' ball squadg the bunch that piled up a score of 168 to their opponents 393 the bunch that allowed only two teams to cross their goal line in one SPHSUHJ and the bunch that tied Lima Central 3 to 3. Yes, these are some few FGHSDHS why A, T. H. S. has been put on the map as having a clear., winning football team. Back in the fall of '21 the boys found in their science teacher an able 00aCh. Mr. VVS-aver came from Lima. his home town, and brought with him the abillfb' to put A. T, H. S. on the map. Our coach is a graduate of Ohio Northern University. and having played high school and college football, he took up coaching as a side line with h.s science work- Coach Vveayer has trained winning teams for 3 number of years and his good experience has been utilized ip V211 BUFGD' H9 Started in '21 with three letter men and has produced some real material. In the opening of the season before the game with Lima Central it was easily observed that a great season was ahead. Enthusiasm was at its highest, Coach VVeaver was to reap the reward of his hard coarh..ng, and Captain Hart was using his influence with regard to training rules and the old time spirit. At the moment Lima faced our boys they realized the situation and it was only after much substi- tution and desperate effort that they were able to hold our boys to a tie. In going over the lineup we come ii.rst to those brilliant ends, the Hartman brothers. Harold and Kenneth have started many a rally by pulling in a nice pass or by a hard tackle. Harold graduates this year and our coach must work hard t0 produce his equal. We are sure Kenneth has another good season in store. Our trusty tackles, Moorehead and Trout, have never failed. With clean, quick methods they attain their ends. Moorehead received a broken arm at McComb which weakened our strong line for sometime. Both players are looking forward t0 their final season next fall and our best wishes for good luck go with them. Captain Hart and Spitler work in harmony with Dove at center and form a strong combination. Spitler and Dove will be on hand next season hut Captain Hart graduates after four seasons of remarkable playing. Gary, H. Trout and C. Trout have helped out on the line this season and they will work in nicely next fall. In the back field we have that swift Gorsuch at quarter with Fisher in reserve. They have played a fine brand of ball this season and Gorsuch has been rewarded with the captaincy for next year. Fisher, who graduates this year, was laid out with a broken collar the last half seasor., With Abbot, Elder and Space to change off at half we have a remarkable combination. Elder always ready to gain with a long end run, while Abbot Ol' Space is waiting for a defensive fight. All three players will be out next fall and we expect great things from them. Ray Trout, that husky fullback, has come up to our expectations. He is always ready to deliver a nice pass or plow for il gain. He plays clean hall and is expected to hold his own next season. Through the efforts of these players Mr. VVeaver has given A. T. H. S. a high standing in the opinion of the surrounding teams and fans. Along' with hard fight, Mr. VVeaver has made his team hold clean sportsman- ship alvove all things, and has received much comment from opponents due to these facts. VVith Captain Hart, the ideal of honesty and good spirit at its head, the Allen township squad has spread the gospel of clean athletics throughout its scheduled territory. N0 matter what team it is that falls before their strength, they mention our team as the ideal of real sportsmanship. -By LESTER ENSIGN. 4. .,.,..-- - ....-..
