SENIOR ISSUE FOOTBALL, 1924 The football year in 1924 was very successful for Shore. The first year in the Greater Cleveland Conference brought new glory and honor, and put Shore in the limelight more than in any other year. Before the season began Shore was doped to win last place, or sixth at the most. The critics knew little of us. A green team and a new coach usually are not very favorable to a team's prospects. However, Coach Ma George Burkett and the boys of his squad set out to show the critics and the fans of Cleveland that there was such a place as Shore, and that it was an important place. And they did it! A hard working team and a hard working coach brought Shore up to an enviable position in the conference. Good clean playing, hard lighting, and Hne team-work gained respect and honor beyond all that Shore had seen before. First and foremost among the players was Captain jerry Gleitz. Playing his last year for Shore, he was one of the outstanding stars of the conference. His all around pass-work, his running, and his kicking were known and feared all over the circuit. All opposing teams tried to stop him, but couldn't. He scored in every game but the one with john Marshall, and was the second highest point scorer of the conference. Needless to say, jerry will be sadly missed next year. Other seniors on the team were Stan Kirchner, joe Kremm, Monk Watkins, and Sam Disantis. The first three mentioned were playing their second or third year for Shore, and made their last one the best. All were regulars, and were noted for their aggressive spirit and clean sportsmanship. Sammy, tho a new- comer, soon won his way into the hearts of all loyal Shorites, and demonstrated his right to a place on the team. His work in the Marshall and Shaker games secures him an everlasting place in Shore's Hall of Fame. Other players who won the green S are Dick Timms, john Bestgen, Hack McGrath, Curly jackson, Tony Skubic, john Kleifield, and Hubert Watkins. All showed sterling qualities, and we can rest assured that with these men to carry on the cause of Shore and win new fame and glory, the future of Shore football is very bright. Among the substitutes, Bill Gill, Roxy Montana, and Tony Yurglic deserve mention as promising men next year. Some praise should also be given to john Luikart, the manager. He was always on the field, rain or shine, and his assistance to the coach and to the team was invaluable. OUR COACH Last fall we received a noteworthy addition to our teaching staff when George Ma Burkett came here from Ohio University to be our new coach. He got to work as soon as school started, and soon showed the football squad that he knew his business. He made a good, almost a championship team, out of a squad of green rookies and a few veterans. But it was in basketball that Coach starred. With even less letter men than in football, he succeeded in putting together a real winning combination, and then gave them the fighting spirit and confidence in themselves that carried them thru to a well-deserved championship, even tho it was a tie. A large part of our teams' success was due to with his lighting spirit. his tireless energy, and his knowledge of sports. Three cheers for Coach Burkett. and may he be with us long! l9l
