P. H. S. ANNUAL 1920 Captain Doocy, the fast lefthalf played a brilliant game until he received a broken collar bone in the second Waverly game. Somebody had to do some fast moving when Doocy skirted the ends with the pig skin. John Walsh, the Goliath of the team, played a wonderful game at fullback. Walsh was the foundation of the team. John played the full time in every game. He was also the kicking and passing man for the team. As soon as the dust cleared away from one of John’s line plunges the opponents might be seen rising slowly from various directions hunting up their headgears and making their way back to the line of scrimmage. Clark King, the midget quarter-back made up in brains what he lacked in aviordupois. Plattner played a good game at right half back. Walter could look foolish, side step somebody and make a good game. Hooper, the captain-elect played a steady game at center. He was shifter to Doocy’s half when he was disabled. Elledge, Armentrout, McConnell, Koepping, Dolbow, Cawthon. Claus, Harlo,v and Coley played an equally essential game on the line. Loyd Davis, the sturdy little left end, gained many yards for his team by his ability to get away quick and dodge his adversaries.

At the time of this publishment the track squad is barely under headway. However, a large bunch of fellows are out each evening, among these candidates various prospects have begun to appear. P. H. S. has a good weight man and a sprinter who have made previous records. it is a safe bet to say that the old scarlet and black will make a good showing when they compete at Macomb and Jacksonville.
