I W 'rl-ite. QOFFSEE. Potf 12 igelnfn markets The C. H. S. foot ball season of 1920 was one of the most successful ever witnessed by Floren- tines. On Monday, of the third week of school, enough men for two teams turned out in uni- form for practice. After about four weeks hard practice and learning some new plays, we were beginning to get hardened up for our first game. The first game with Rogersville ended in our favor and Sandlin's Yellow Jackets came home rejoicing. But we can never get too high to fall and the higher up we are, the harder we fall. We had a mighty hard fall when we lost to Sheffield in our second game. Sheffield was our old rival and we were rattled When the game was over every man wanted to quit. It was then that our hardest battle was fought. Coach Sandlin plead with us, gave us a few pointers and as only he can, gave us a new life, vigor and pep that brought us back to victory and the North Alabama championship. Each man on our team deserves special men- tion. All fought a clean hard fight. Each man had his place and without him, we others could have done nothing. Next year we have some very promising material and we hope to take every game from beginning to end. We hope to be able to meet any high school in the state and most of all to win the Alabama state championship.
