P. H. S. ANNUAL 19 20 Foot Ball. The foot ball season of ’19 in P. H. S. was far from being an unsuccessful one. Although the team won only 33 1-3 per cent of their games; they obtained a priceless lot of knowledge of the gridiron game. Foot ball is a game that requires a great amount of expeiience and coaching before a team can be brought to any sort of standard. In the few weeks of this season Coach Foltz certainly put the P. H. S. squad up several notches on this standard. Foltz faced about as discouraging a situation as can confront a coach. The boys were standing there, that was about all. They knew pracically nothing of the game. There were not suits enough to go around to all competing. In the course of eight or ten weeks this same squad was found on the line of scrimmage stubbornly contesting every foot of ground, wi‘h such teams as Waverly, Hannibal and Jacksonville. No opposing teams had anything soft to encounter when they squared away for a kick off with P. H. S. When one stops to consider the change wrought in the squad from the beginning of the season until the end. it will certainly appear clear that the foot ball squad was a success. Furthermore. P. H. S. will have a brighter prospect to start the 1920 season with. A great deal of new equipment has been bought and only two letter men were Seniors. Hence. P. H. S. will be able to start next season where she left off this season.
