TIIE TATTLER quished, 27 to . However, when Conneaut tried to schedule a game with Harbor for December 7, Harbor refused to play until we had played Ashtabula. This ridiculous request caused much criticism among: the students and football men of C. H. S. Harbor’s request was refused, because we were not asking for a game with Ashtabula, but one with Harbor. Harbor was our logical opponent because it was the only school outside of ConPeaut which had not been defeated in county games. Ashtabula did not play any county games, so to consider them as contenders for the championship would be absurd. Harbor's motive in doing what she did is plain to all, so it needs no discussion here. It would be well, it is evident, that a champion he declared, and Conneaut is the team most eligible to, and deserving of, the honor. But, whatever team is chosen, let the choice be made soon, so as to quiet the growing unrest throughout the county. THE SCHEDULE On November 25, shortly after a meeting of the basketball managers at Ashtabula, the county basketball schedule for the season of 1919 was announced. The schedule which is a reversal of last year’s schedule, follows; Conneaut at Conneautville. Erie at Conneaut, Harbor at Geneva, Jefferson at Austinburg.

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
