FOOTBALL. Football, one of the most strenuous of atheltic contests, is one that tests the strength, grit and manhood of the participant to the utmost. Some have a misconception of the game, thinking it to be exceedingly rough, brutal and dangerous. This may be true in some cases but it is only where they do not understand the game. It is truly a scientific game requir- ing active brain work as well as physical power. Football when played according to the rules and in a sportsmanlike manner should have a place in High School athletics. It builds up a rivalry and creates an invincible spirit which is characteristic to every youth. ' Accordingly, with good material to choose from, a High School team was organized early in the school year. After a few weeks of training and signal practice the team was in fairly good condition. A practice game was arranged with the Basket Factory team which resulted in a score 0 to 0. This game was mainly for team work regardless of the result. Manager Rigle tried to arrange a season's schedule but it was found that most of the surrounding High Schools had abandoned this branch of athletics and so was unable to secure anl games. Games could have been arranged with teams other than High School but it was decided that rather than play these heavier teams the game would be dropped and we should bend our efforts toward producing a good basketball team. Had a football schedule been arranged, the E. H. S. would have, without a doubt, won its share of the games.
