THE coosWELL 105 e - - 1 l'1uanoN'r N. Ullman. '14, Although Cogswell cannot boast of having won football, swimming or baseball, all the opposing teams knew they had been in a game at the Finish. lt is this lighting spirit which has given Cogswell the good name it now 11215, lt was only after the hardest kind of work that the winners of the league managed to nose out the lighting wearers of the lllaclc and Green. Football Last spring football training started out with a great rush. As Cogs- well had annexed the llointlizlll championship of San Francisco in 1912 it was thought that we would again repeat the victory, and that thought brought out all the veterans and a great number of future stars, So in a few days spring training was in full swing. Summer vacation interfered with training for a while, but as soon as school began again football training became one of the most important events around school. Captain Sewall and Coach llomeroy trained the team in football lore and hopes were high at Cogswell for the championship of 1913. League Games of 1913. Cogswell started out winning the league games in great style. The first league game was with Lick. 'llheir colors were lowered to the tune of 13 to 3. The second game was with Commercial, which was defeated by a score of 32 to O. The St. Ignatius game was won by Cogswell by an ll to O score. The fourth game was with Mission. The final score was 5 to O in favor of Cogswell. Then came the Poly. game. This game was also won by the wearers of the lllaclc and Green with a score of 12 to O. Then came the first defeat. ln a hard fought game Lowell managed to lower our colors by a score of 3 to 0. This defeat tied the league up and Cogswell played another game wtih Lick. Xllhile the boys played a great game they were unable to repeat the victory and Lick won with a score of 13 to 3. This game brought to a close, for Cogswell at least, a hard fought contest. Xlfhile our team did not repeat the victory of the year before they played great football and they deserve much praise for their efforts. Throughout the season the team was managed by E. Reuben Spunn and eaptained by Earl Sewall. Cogswell Football Squad. 1. Lyon, veteran, front rank, left. Height, 5 ft. 11 in.g weight, 170 lbs. Vffas aggressive and a hard man to tackle. 2.
