In many respects the football sea-
son which came 10 a close on Thanks
giving day has been a splendid sue
cess. Practically a new team took
the field in September. nearly all the
old team graduating in June. Nc
Clintock, Tucker and Shively were
about all the old team left. After
playing one game Shively took ap-
pendicitis and was operated on and
consequently out for the remainder
OF the year.
Two days before the Thanksgiv-
ing game Tucker was taken sick and
was out of the big game. Captain
James McClintock, with Tucker and
Shively both out of the Thanksgiving
game, went in and put up one of the
best games of football ever seen il
Frankfort.
The athletic editor of the Lexing-
ton Herald said it was one of the
States best High School games.
Paris people who are interested in
football have commented all season
on the way the team has trained.
The team has missed very few days
being On the field since September
| /. and this constant training and
hard work have developed great
team. Coach Sheffield has worked
hard for the boys and is receiving
| the congratulations of every admlrer
of good, clean athletics in Paris.
Paris people have supported the
team splendidIy, encouraged the boys
by their presence at the games and
by words and acts of appreciation.
These things help make athletics
| for school. =,
| The making of this years football
team is one of the. outstanding ser
vices of the Bourbon County Young
Mems Christian Association. Coach
Sheffield, the Y. M. G.. A. physical
director, has made the team. A. L.
Rice and Bobby LAWN, both win
ners of the K. at State University,
are other bright examples of the
| service this Y. M. c. A. is rendering
this county. Bobby LAWN has nc
football equal in the South for MS
size. -.
The most encouraging fact about
this years team is that the school
will have practically the same team
| for two years more, as alt are first,
second and third year men. Next
Years schedule is being arranged
now and will be announced In rev
DAYS. This schedule will be the
most attractive and ambitious foot
ball schedule ever attempted by
high school in this section.
Paris Hieh School will do some
scouting between now and next Sep
TENDER and many new faces will be
ON the field fighting for a place on
what promises to be one of the BEST
tnams the school l,o~ we had. 1t is
no use to try to tell the individual
work of the different players, Tor all
have done their part nobly and well,
manager. players, coach and all
The people OF Paris have been lib
eral in the support of the team ana
we all appreciate this very mucu
The papers of the city have been
liberal in notices and comments OF
the games. One of the most encour-
aging things connected with the
schools athletics is the spirit OF the
school back of the team.

of the students belong to this asso-
citation, showing the splendid school
spirit that exists. A high standard
of scholarship has been maintained
nv the players, rigidly enforcement
of the eligibility rules of the Ken
lucky High School Athletic Assoc,a-
ton has been aiLtained all year.
Paris High School employees col
lege officials for every game, anc
this insures competent omclals,
which fact is good encouragement
for both home teams and visitors
and eliminates all possibility Of pet
ty wrangling which so often pre-
walls in High School games. IL Is
hoped that soon all Kentucky High
Schools will adopt this plan.
| In a few days the team will be
given a banquet, at which time
new captain viii, be elected and
sweaters or blankets will be given
members of the squad winning them.
Let's all set in now and work fer
| "wonder eleven" next year.
