LANCASTER HIGH SCHOOL X-RAYS. 15 ATHL ETICS FOOTBALL OF 1906. Just before the close of the school year In 1906. the athletic association of the [gincaster High School held a meeting for the election of officers of the football team of 1906. Then about two weeks after the opening of school the following autumn, the captain called for candi- dates for the team and about twenty men responded. Teams were organ- ized and they at once set to work to practice for the first game of the season at Clrcleville. on October 5th. The team, after several weeks of hard practice, was thought capable ot doing their best in the game. Justus, the captain, being sick, was unable to take part, so Courtrlght took his place in this game, which was an interest- ing one; also a hard-fought one. But the fates were against l ancaster this time, for we lost the game by a score of 7 to 2. We thought we would square our- selves by asking for a game with Cir- cleville on our own grounds: but this she refused for various reasons. We, no doubt, would have won, as our record shows how we gave the other teams the axe. The next game we played was with Central High School of Columbus on October 19th. Their team played fast ball, but it did no good with us, for we defeated them by a score of 11 to 6. The following Friday. October 26th, the team front Baltimore High School arrived, but they were too easy for us, and it could hardly be called a game, the score being 25 to 0. On Friday. November 2nd, we play- ed with Chilllcothc on our grounds. Their team was a fast one, and altho they outweighed ours by 15 pounds to the man. we put up such a de- fense that they could not break thru our line. The game was a close one, and not till the second half did Mc- Clintock push the ball over the line for a touch-down, winning the game by a score of 5 to 0. Two weeks later on Friday. Novem- ber 16th, we played with Irrepressi- ble Logan; the game was more of a running match, for we ran away with the ball, making 60 and 80-yard runs for touch-downs. Most, of these were made by Radebaugh, who was a trifle too fast for the Haw-eaters. They even went so far as to beg for mercy, imploring us not to make the score so high. Nevertheless, we play- ed on and won by a score of 29 to 7. This was the last game of the sea- son and the record of football in 1906 was the best ever known in the Lan- caster High School. The following is the line-up which made this record: Orman and •Hershberger........Center McLaughlin ............. Right-Guard Micsso and •Davis.........Loft-Guard Davis and 'Alton........Right-Tackle Justus and •Campbell.....Left-Tackle Acton, Radebaugh and Fink... R.-End McCrum .................... Left-End McMillln and Radebaugh.......Quarter Courtrlght .............. Right-Hair McClintock ............... Left-Half Work ..................... Full-Back •Only played one game in this po- sition. L. W. M„ '07 WHAT THE SENIORS OF '07 CONTRIBUTED TO ATHLETICS. When looking over the athletic rec- ords of the Lancaster High School, one cannot help noticing the leading part the present graduating class lias taken in the different athletic teams of the school. We wll first, take the football team, which made such an envious record for L. H. S. last fall, losing only two games out of ten played. In looking over this team, one sees from the Senior class, Courtrlght and McMil- lln, playing important positions be- hind the Itne. Then on the line, wo find McCrum on the left end. while on the right is Acton, filling the two most Important positions on the team. Then between these at tackle and guard, we find Da- vis, Campbell and Miesse. So it is easily seen, that the nucleus of that Winning Football Team was made up of Seniors. Next wo come to basket-ball. This was a new sport for the Lancaster High School, this being the first year this school was ever represented by a basket-ball team. Considering thl .I, the team made a very creditable show- ing. In this team the Senior class was also freely represented, having four out of the seven men, who travel- ed with the team. First we notice McCrum as captain, playing right for- ward. who was ably assisted by Mc- Millln as manager, at right guard. Then we see Matthew. Hill and Wol- cott, who traveled with the regulars and helped out when called ujion. Now we pass Into a branch of ath- letics which has been more success- ful this year than any year before In the history of the school. This Is field and track athletics. lu looking over the team we see. first, Mc.Mlllin as captain, running one-quarter mile in 56 seconds ami 220 yards in 25 sec- onds. and also carrying the last quar- ter in the relay. Then we come to McCrum. who ran one-half mile in 2:16, pole vaulted 9 feet and carried one quarter in the relay. Then we see Courtrlght, Wolcott, Davis, Hill. Campbell and Matthew, all malkng exceptionally good records in their respective events. And now we notice the last branch of athletics during the year. Here, as before, wc- find the Seniors standing foremost. We find, the pitching staff of the baseball team made up entire- ly of Seniors. A Senior played third base, short stop and the out field, thus making every important position fill- ed by a Senior. After looking over 'these teams, and noticing the positions played by •Seniors, who will say that the pres- ent graduating class has not con- tributed more to L. H. S. athletics in '07 than all the other classes to- gether? AT LOGAN. It happened at Log n. It happened to Lancaster. What wns.lt? It was the defeat of the L. H. S. track team, by the narrow margin of two points, the final score being 57 to 55. The op|K rtunity to win was proba- bly lost when Captain McMillin failed to win the 440-yard «lash, being de- feated by a yard, the distance having been run in 55 seconds. Lancaster’s [Kjints were secured in the following ways: Hill won first In the 100-yard dash and s«?cond in the 50-yard dash. McMillin won second in tho 220 and 440-yard dashes. McCrum won second in the half- mile run. the pole vault and first in (Continued on Page 17.)

The meet was a disappointment to the members of the team, as they all expected to win. It was a battle royal from start to finish and In sev- eral places, Lancaster showed lack ot training. In at least three events the contestants did not do nearly so well as they had been doing at homo. In the meet with Zanesville a few weeks before, the team made a much better showing, defeating that team by a score of 65 to 59. I ancaster's victories were well distributed among the members of the team, while one man scored 43 points for Zanesville. Taking into consideration the fact that the L. H. S. has not been repre- sented by a track team for three years, it will not be denied that this team has madq an extra good show- ing this spring. BASEBALL OF 1907. The I ncaster High School base- ball team with Frank McCIlntock as Captain and Edward Orman as Man- ager, has. so far. had a very success- ful season and It. is also the best team the High School ever produced. LITERATURE. Our study of the History of English literature during the year 1907 was a complete success, everybody taking special interest in it. While studying this history we found ourselves en- veloped among the lives of all our greatest, poets and authors and how they came to write poetry. Beginning with the time when rhymes were just being made and remembered. We stud- ied hard till we reached Queen Vic- j toria’s Age which brought many popu- lar and wonderful men before us. Al- though we found some difficult places to pull through we handled them with care and soon came out on top. Tho study of English literature is interest- ing front beginning to end and shows us that only a great genius could have written such inspiring words in such a beautiful and artistic mannner. Along with the history we studied a series of books, one of which was Bacon's Essays” or A Handy Dictionary, as one called It. A more helpful book cannot be found, and our study of it was certainly help- ful to 11» for it. showed us “that we should do unto others as we would have them do unto us.” The pupil go- ing through High School would miss half tho Senior year If he didn't study the History of English Literature.
