Summary The foot ball
season was greatly hindered by the ‘‘flu’’ epidemic which was
prevalent during the fall, causing us to cancel some of our best games.
However, even with this handicap. Sharon Hi has had successful foot ball
season. Under the
captaincy of Paul Duffee and the management
of Edward McKean, a strong team was
developed. Much praise in this development goes to our coach, Mr.
[A.W.] Dickerson. It was through him that with only a few letter
men as a nucleus, we were able to have a strong team. The team as a whole deserves great praise for their clean playing and good sportsmanship. Members of the teams are Jack Smith and Ormand Claypool, ends Paul Duffee and John Egbert, tackles; Lester Bees and Charles Taggart, guards; George Stanton, center. In the backfield was George Koch at quarter, and Harry Wilson at full back and Joe Thompson, Ralph Douds and Earl Davis at half.
