Cameron Rangers (soccer?) Unknown date probably 1897 McDonald PA Outlook 

The Cameron Rangers

This new team is the old McDonald Rangers reorganized with Chas. CAMERON Manager, Frank HALEY Captain, and Wm. CALDWELL Secretary. This team must not be confused with the McDonald Rovers, the Association Football Champions of Pennsylvania, with whom they have no connection; although three of the Cameron Rangers, Jas. DAVIDSON, Wm. CALDWELL and Robert HULME, helped the McDonald Rovers win the silver cup they now hold. The Rangers are considered the younger and lighter team, but their record, as will be seen below, is not inferior to that of the noted Rovers. The record is as follows:

Harry CLARK, the other full back, is a fearless capable player, rapid and accurate, and a hard man to charge. He is 27 years old, 5 ft. 8 in height, 135 in weight.

Adam COCHRAN, left halfback, is the youngest and heaviest member of the team and can cover every point perfectly. He is 18 years old, 5 ft. 9 in height and 170 in weight.

Dick WILSON can be depended on always to play a good game he is 21, 5 ft 7 high, 140 lbs.
