High School Organization That Has Taken the Name of Pine Bluff to Pinnacle of Success Asks
 Popular Support.

The Graphic calls atCentl0n to Lne manly and timely appeal of the high school football team. This organiza- tion, from the record published, has done as much to take the excellence of the city to outsiders as has any oth- CT of the many orders working for the city's good. It's record is as brilliant as effective and successful work can make it.
 Abroad. when it is announced that Pine Bluff Hi will be ia the game, people flock to see the contest, be- cause it is widely known that any team that beats our boys will know that it has had the struggle of it's exist ence.
 At home, we have grown so accus- S toned to seeing Pine Bluff Hi the vic tor that we are prone to take it as a matter of course.
 This lymphatic enjoyment of the hard earned reputation of these boys should cease. Indeed it will have to cease, if Pine Bluff wants real live md winning team; for excellent as is the work of the team, and enthusiastic TT is every member of it, such excel- lence and such enthusiasm cannot last X in the face of non-support from home people. s The town has every reason to be z proud of it's boys, and no doubt there II pride for them in the heart of all thGcitizens, but football teams cannot exist ,On a distant and inactive pride. There must be something of the ma 2 tsrial to aid, and this material can best be supplied by seeing to it that the field here, during a match is thropRed. to overflowing with towns people, each one of whom being ready S,id willing to shout for Pine Bluff Hi, {. apd encourage each player with voice, 2 aet and pocketbook.
 The appeal to the business men as s3ren to The Graphic for publication, 's Pine T Bluff High school has had a < rod football team each season for seyeral years. Many think that the team of 1913-14 was the strongest ever put out by our school. This s may be true. That team was defeat. Gd in one game. Our team of 1915-16 Rias not defeated. Our team of 1916- 3 l7 was not defeated. Our team this year. 50 far, is undefeated. We have already played three games. One of these teams at least IS considered one of the strongest in the state. In 1916 we played Little Rock at Little s Rock to . scoreless finish. Last year We defeated them 19 to 6.
 ( Notwithstanding the fact that we Are putting out good teams each year, teasns that have not suffered a de !! feat in two and one half seasons, the business men (many of them), many of the men that formerly claimed to be for athletic sports for boys, are falling down on us. Hundreds of men and women attended the games in 1918 and before this time, even though they had to pay street car fare both ways to Forest park, two miles from town. Now, though the park is with in almost stone's throw of the busi- part of town, we do not have g cor noral's guard of grown people at our rames. Why is this? Certainly not s, because you are ashamed of your team. We have gone through the past s two seasons without a defeat, and have won all our games (three) so far this year. We simply mention this to z show that we are doing our part which is our best.
