RPvPFvMPvMDC 1921 Stfjletic SsSociation M UCH criticism can be made of the association for its evident lack of interest in athletics, but nevertheless, some few are to be highly commended for their work in behalf of the association and athletics in general. The stand at the fair was a great success and with the help of Trent Wilson, John Chiles, Ambrose, Mr. Swem and others of the student-body, enough money was cleared to buy football uniforms. The athletic association at the end of the football season gave the football team a supper, which will be long remembered by the team. At this supper Mr. Alwyn Hundley was elected captain of the I 921-’22 football team. By much hard work on the part of the officers and some members of the association, the association has arranged to cut expenses and meet all expenses for 1920-’21. The officers of the association are as follows: President . . . . Vice-President Secretary . . . . Treasurer . . . . J. H. Chiles, Jr. John Billingsley .Fielding Wilson .George Hunter Higfi Ikfiool i ongsi anti Cfieers Oh, when old F. H. S. boys fall in line, We’re going to win again another time. And for old F. H. S.

W II H all new material Coach Swem started out to build up the first foot¬ ball team in the Fredericksburg High School for nearly nine years. The team was entirely inexperienced, most of them never having even seen a football game. Our team was exceedingly light but nevertheless much credit is due to our lightest men, the two ends. In the backfield Billingsley was a real find for our hard rushes. Phillips, our captain, Hundley and Koeppen were also excellent men for the backfield, each putting all he had in our games. On the defensive the back- field and the line always made clean, hard tackles for which they became noted. Much credit is due to the team; we were handicapped by a lack of men, a lack of weight, and a place upon which to practice. The High School played two games with a newly organized town team which was composed chiefly of alumni of the school and of college graduates. In both of these games the High School came out with the largest score. The scores for the games are as follows: F. H. S. . 0 Alexandria FI. S. . 32 F. H. S. . 0 Alexandria H. S. . 40 F.
