Grove City High School 

 

Grove City Football Season  

School Year of 1924

 

Team of 1923 

LEFT END—[Everett] Blythe was a fine tackler and could keep pace with any of them. 

LEFT TACKLE—T. [Theodore "Ted"] Husband and George were both fine tackles and always opened a hole for the backfield to tear through.

LEFT GUARD—Smith was a big man and the opposing team never gained much through him.

CENTER—Pearson was awful husky and his passes were always good; he also backed up the line and made many good tackles.

EIGHT GUARD—J. [Joseph] Husband always made his tackle on the other side of the line, when he hit a man he always came down, a touchdown was never put over on him.

RIGHT TACKLE—[Robert] Butler (Captain) was always putting fight into his teammates and he never knew what it was to play poor football himself. A touchdown was never put over on him.

RIGHT END—[Howard] Gills, beside making every tackle he went for, also caught most of the forward passes thrown him; he will be missed on the team.

LEFT HALF—Milsop [Millsop], besides being an excellent carrier of the ball, could throw passes that went like a bullet to its mark.

RIGHT HALF—[Haywood] Daugherty could run like a fool when carrying the ball and his hands were always itching to pick up a fumble, which he sometimes did.

FULL BACK—[David] Shelley was a hard hitter while running with the ball and tackling also, he made many a touchdown when needed.

QUARTER BACK—[Raymond] Dunn and [William] Kelly barked out their signals like bull dogs and always came through with the stuff when needed.

END--[Cliff] Richards in his work this year has shown that he will prove valuable man in next year’s squad.
