BELLAIREITES DEFEND
THEIR HIGH ELEVEN
Bellaire, O.. Nov. 20. 1919.

Sport Editor Of The IntelligcUCNr:
We write this in reply to the article
which appeared in your paper on Novem-
Der 10th. headed: Have they a chance"
It was concerning the Bcilairc High
foot ball team.
We wish to state in the first place
that the writer OF that article is not
loyal hacker of the Bcllaire High team,
and is nothing but a chronic kicker and
fault finder.
II ne claims to be a hacker. he Is also
a hypocrite in the bargain. Judging
from the way his story was wordcd he
has a personal grudge against one or
more members of the team and is taking
this way Of getting back at them.
He stated that the quarterback dis
played very poor judgment. and in this
way was detriment TO the team. Would
he be SO kind as to state when. where.
and how he displayed poor Judgment
and would he be willing to let his JUG
ment stand the test Of others?
He also said the entire hackticld WAS
weak We would like TO know where he
got his authority for making such n
statement. and for saying that the team
was fifty percent stronger on the de-
Tense than on the offcnsc.
We would also like 10 know If he could
select any better men for the terminal
positions than Harris and PlckNns. II ne
can, we would advise him TO hang out
his shingle as football coach. and give
up his job as chief knocker Of the val
ley.
In closing we wish TO ask him what
he has done for Bcllaire High that no
can be any prouder OF than that WHICH
the boys on the team are doing for II
every day.
