GEORGE F. SMITH, Editor. Capt. Leahy and members of the C. II. S. Football Team: Words seem inadequate in trying to express my great surprise and thankfulness for your wonderful token of appreciation for what little I did for the team. In this case 1 am sure the reward far surpasses the deed. The hours 1 spent with you were happy hours, as they brought back memories of my high school and college days, which are the happiest days of our lives. 1 want to thank the Faculty and the Team for the confidence they placed in me as a coach. It was an honor, 1 assure you. While 1 have played a lot of football in my day, this was the first experience as a coach, and I feel the success of the team was due more to the observation and natural ability of the players than to any good coaching. The most lamentable part of the whole situation to me, was the fact that after we had our machine working smoothly, we were denied the opportunity of proving its worth, which seems to be in keeping with our rival s run of good luck. I really believe that had we played .out, our schedule we would have brought the 1918 pennant to Conne-aut. I further believe that if the majority of this year's team returns next fall, we can make 1918 hopes, 1919 realities. My heart goes out to Page Twelve

THE TATTLER the boys who were unfortunate in securing letters this year, but cheer up fellows, I have had your experience and found that everything turned out all right in the end. Wish to thank you for the invitation to your banquet: also for the courteous treatment rendered Mrs. Freeman while your guest. Wishing you all a Merry Xmas and a successful school year, I am and always want to be, Your friend, JACK FREEMAN. THE SPORT’S THE THING. Early in September, our bootball fans began to look forward to a prosperous and successful football season. Captain Leahy spent untiring energy in securing a coach. The result was the aid of Mr. Helman and Mr. Freeman, two experienced players who aided our boys. We played two games, one with Geneva on October the 5th and the other with Willoughby on October 11th. Surely Conneaut High School can feel very proud of her squad. Every man on the team was benefitted from the association and practice gained thru playing. The “Flu” played havoc with our schedule. However, we may feel assured that our team was the best in the county and could have carried off the banner. The splendid co-operation of the student body in buying tickets, marking off the field and aiding in every way is remembered and appreciated by the manager. Special thanks should go to Warren Eades and Howard Messenger for their cheerful assistance. The football spirit is contagious; apply it to every activity C. II. S. enters into. Hail to our Captain Hail to squad Hail to our Alma Mater H. M. C. ‘19 WHO? Who is the football champion of the county for the season of 1918? Th choice, if there is to be any, undoubtedly lies between Conneaut and Harbor. Harbor played and won two county games, defeating Austinburg 13 to 6, and Geneva 13 to 0, while Conneaut played only one county game, that with Geneva, whom they van- Page Thirteen
