The Allen Township Football Boys, under their able coach Chronic, have for the first time in the history of our school, won the honor of county champs. They allowed only one county team to cross their line and that was the sturdy Liberty bunch. They held Lima South Hi to a score of 19-2 and Bluffton 9-6. This is llflr. Chronicls first year of coaching our football boys. His splendid coaching was made possible by the training which he received at' the O. S. U. last summer. Another reason for our splendid team, only four letter men were lost and their positions were filled by able and eager subs. Although the opening of the season was not one of victory for our squad. it did not discourage them. Their first game was with Lima South Hi. They were defeated. Then they niet Bluffton's squad whom they were able to hold to one touch-down even though they were defeated. Then they opened the county season by defeating Vanlue 19-0. From then on it was victory for our squad except with Liberty. They finished their season on top, the reward which they well earned. Beginning with the ends we have K. Hartman and Space. who were always in their place at the right time. This year ends Hartman's brilliant career. His place will be hard to be equally filled next year. Then our faithful tackles, who were always on their job, are Leroy Trout and Spitler. Both boys will graduate this year. The guards, Delo, Dailey and H. Trout. together with Dove at center formed an unbreakable line. Dailey and Dove both leave the team this year. In the back field we hav Ceapt. Gorsuch as quarter back, Abbott as full back. lwoorhead with Sub Huffman at left half. Franks and Sub Reichman as right half. These boys have played a splendid game of ball this year. Abbott and Franks crossed the goal many times, due to their plunging and spectacular open-field running. Out of our swift back field this year will be taken Capt. Gorsuch, Abbott and lVIoorhead, who are Seniors. Franks and Reichman will be here next year to make the team. The boys have chosen as their Captain for next year Dallas Space, who has well earned the position by his faithful playing. lfVe are sure that he will prove a successful leader. -FERN 'l'HoxiAs .i -WI ryfgim -N., li 11-5' ge- - viii Lf-5,1 F 1.55 -:P r mg' C 'K-1.74 Fri- 5 4. - -- .- .:--- -.. ----f-- - -- - ,F fwfnty six
