FA CYS I N BLA CK AND W H I 1 YE. 17 FOOT-BALL. C one not well versed in athletics and particularly those ofthe High School, it may seem amiss to take up so much val- uable space in writing the history ,of a foot-ball team that in a long list of games has but one victory to its credit. But such is far from the case as anyone versed in the game will tell you and not only will sympathy not be paramount in their language, but praise-strong, honest praise for out of the rythm of defeats there sprang the monster statue of example, the example of perseverance under the strong tire ot adversity-which will live long as a monument and a tribute to the foot-ball team of 1902. Upon the face of it the record of the eleven of 1902 may. not seem to be one to be proud of, yet that the team has done as much for athletics for the school as any team ever in the institution and more than some is not to be denied. The name of the Auburn High School is to-day bet- ter known than a year ago. . To-day we have offers of games where formerly we had to seek them. All these conditions are due to the fact that Auburn had a reputation to sustain and the eleven not only sustained it but increased it by giv- ing the best that was in them every game they played. Honest and bitterly contested defeats do not injure a school's reputation while victories, gained as they sometimes are, will tarnish a good name. Manager Loughborough is to be congrat- ulated on the schedule-one of the best ever played-and Captain McCarthy is to be praised for his capable handling of the team. The thanks of the team, of the school, and of the public in general are due Thomas J. Hennessey .who was pres- ent daily at practice and gave us the fine advantage.of his excellent foot-ball know- ledge. As in former years he refused any financial remuneration for his services, do- ing all for the glory of his Alma Mater in which respect he is a great example to all High School graduates.
