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.

RPvPRHPvNDC 1921 pasfeetJBall ((girls) T HE girls were greatly handicapped as were the boys, having only a few of last year’s team left, but under the management of Julia Rowe and with the help of Mr. Link, a good team was produced. Another great handicap was experienced in finding a court upon which to practice. In the interest of athletics in the High School and also in the town, it is hoped by both the boys and girls that the school board will see fit to furnish them with a gymnasium befitting of the new High School in which the muscles of the students may be trained as well as their minds. TEAM—1921 L is for Louise The best player we’ve got. And for the other team. She makes them hot. L is for Lucy Our only gold-man And as for throwing goals, She—can. R is for Ruth The other twin. She throws goals Before the others begin L is for Lucy Our famous number 9, And of all the other people 1 here’s not another her kind. J is for Julia, Better known as Ju. She is our manager. And a good one too. J is for Jebby, So quick on the floor. Before you are aware, Up climbs the score. R is for Ruby, Our other little guard. Who makes the other team Play some hard. T is for Teeny, Our slapcenter tall, And she is famous For hitting the ball. E is for Edith, The vamp of the team. And for her hair It is a dream. United we stand. Divided we fall. And we are famous For Basket Ball. —Ruth Dillard 96
