First Team 1927 Second Team Football, 1927 The Chinook high school football team of 1927 had one of the most successful seasons they have had for several years. They lost two games out of the six games played, the$e two being lost to Havre. The team had the punch and tight of a good football team, and delivered well in every game although they were always out-weighed. The season looked rather gloomy at the start, lor Coach Rebol found it very difficult to schedule games, but the team went to work with a will and trusted to luck to get games as the season pro-g reused. The line-up for the first game was as follows: Left end—Joe Sackett. Left tackle—John Brinkman. Left guard—Clinton Salfer. Henry Brinkman Center—Edward McPherson. Right guard—William Duke. Right tackle—Harold Barber. Right end—William Skillen. Quarterback Carl Noyes. Right halfback—Holly Reser. Melvin Crawford. Fullback—Burnell Noyes. Left halfback—Captain Ernest Wallner. Other men belonging to the squad were: E. Spring, M. Tanberg. I. Fredluml. D. Culbertson. O. Wolary. The first game on October first at Havre, caught the local squad unprepared and in poor condition. They dropped this game to Havre by a score of 25 to 0. The team entered the game with little practice and Havre ran up the score in the first half. In the second half the story carried a different aspect. The Chinook squad held the Havre eleven scoreless, and outplayed them for the remainder of the game. The second game followed two weeks later, on October 14. with Big Sandy, here. Chinook took an easy victory by a score of 39 to 6. The team entered this game in better condition than they had been for several years, as was stated by Mr. Rebol. He also said that they played a better game than had been seen by the fans in the past few’ years. There w’as considerable fumbling in the game, but the Chinook squad followed the ball close to recover it a large share of the time. Although the local boys were out-weighed, they kept the ball in Sandy’s territory most of the game, and only once in the first half did Sandy make their downs. The score by quarters is as follows: Chinook 6 13 25 39 Sandy ........................... 0 6 6 6 A week later, on October 21. Coach Rebol’s outfit challenged the alumni. A bunch of the tow’n men and college graduates reported, to drop a game to the school by a score of IS to 0. The game was played after school, and the town team gave the boys a real work-out. With the team rounding into better shape, and getting a few of the fundamentals and technicalities of football, they met the fast Shelby team here on October 27. to trim them 45 to 0. The Chinook team sw’ept the Shelby men off their feet right from the state, and they were not able to get organized during
