' ' CoAcH E. R. SONNENBERG CAPT. KENNTH KINKEL E. . No school, however successful it may be in any branch of athletics, can ex- pect to have ever victorious teams year after year. Such circumstance is rare indeed. There must come a building up time. The year 1926 found the coaches of Council Grove high school compelled to build almost an entirely new football team. Few letter men remained over from the 1925 season. However, the hard work of Coach Sonnenberg and his assistant, Mr. Axe, brought about some semblance to the standard of past years. The season started fairly well but the local eleven found itself up against Worthy opponents, all of whom had felt the sting of defeat at the hands of C. Ci. Said opponents most of whom, suffered less from graduation, took advantage of their oppor- tunities, not, however, to the extent that they did not meet a stubborn re- sistance by C. G. H. S. Though a majority of our rivals defeated us, they did it through Virtue of better teams and so in a measure the coaches were satisfied that the team did its best. At the annual football banquet following the close of the season, Vinson Pullins was unanimously chosen to lead the team in its 1927 gridiron battles. With his leadership and with several veterans back the next season should find the Grove up and at 'em with the old time punch. Page Thirty one 1
