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

Boys Basketball The boys basketball team, directed by their able coach, Chronic, have furnished some stiff opposition for the other teams of the county. They showed remarkable ability and sportsmanship throughout the entire season. Only three places were to be filled when they began. but they were well filled from the many new players. The team this year. was nearly all seniors and they will be much missed next year. llove. llelong. Elder or Abbott at center did their part to get the tip-off and get the hall in the hands of their team mates. Capt. Trout, Hartman. Dailey and Burrell at forwards rolled up the scores by their baskets. Gorsuch and Nloorhead did splendid work in keeping the ball out of the hands of the opponents. All of this it-am but llelong and Eltler will graduate this year. Their first game of the season was with lVIeComb. whom they easily defeated 5--l--l. Next the fast Arcadia team defeated them by a score of 22-13. They downed the Alumni l2-lo. ln the next game the boys showed their fine fighting spirit and held Arlington to a score of lb-l-l. Although they were defeated they kept on. The Vanlue game was a hard one but they all worked together and won 8-l3. Then the fast Liberty gang defeated our boys 23-l7, Next in a hard. fast game, we held Portge 15-1-l. YVith victory still in their hearts they defeated lWt. Cory 15-6.
