1916 BEE AITCH ESS 1916 Review nf the llinnthall Seaman if AITHFUL to old B. H. S. the H1915 Football Team came through the season without a defeat. Winners, fighters, full of pep, playing against odds but always in the game and somewhat dis- couraged by the abrupt season, tells the history of the 1915 foot- ball team of Batavia High School. At the beginning of the year seven letter men were out for practice, Including Captain Miles, Benson, Swan, O. Council, Dunlop, Johnson, Tinck- nell and a large number of recruits, who proved to be very valuable. The season started with a game at the Boys' Home which ended with the score in our favor. The next week after changing a few positions and correcting some faults came the game with St. Charles H. S. and it was a decisive victory. The unexpected final game of the season was on the home grounds with a team apparently new to Batavia. Crystal Lake and Batavia had never played before, and each was thirsting for a victory. B. H. S. with two victories to her credit, was not to be defeated and the football team closed its season with perfect score. Diphtheria now took an upper hand and put up such a strong game that B. H. S. could not withstand its attack. The playing of the boys made a remarkable record for B. H. S. and will be a good foundation on which to build a line team for the coming season. Gamez B. H. S., 76, St. Charles Boys' Home, 0. The first game of the year proves to be a good practice game for B. H. S., little trouble being found in defeating the Boys' Home. With long end runs and a few line bucks, our team soon piled up a big score. B. H. S., 345 St. Charles High School, 0. This was the second game away from home, but the fellows entered into it with confidence, being backed by a large number of B. H. S. rooters. St. Charles although near the goal line twice, could not go through the strong defense for the final down. B. H. S., 33, Crystal Lake, 0. The last game in the season is generally the best and so it was in this case. Crystal Lake was played off its feet in the first half. B. H. S. was running around the ends at will and getting away with a number of for- ward passes, soon put the score at a safe margin. In the second half Cry- stal Lake came back stronger, holding B. H. S. to one touchdown. I97l
