The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1921-12-23

the South Fulton team. On right end
Isl Reynolds is wonder at receiving
passes, catching them from all posi-
tions, and his defensive work against
| Carr Institute was of the highest or
der. Earl Smith, right tackle. could
always be counted on to open up q
| hole big enough to drive a wagon
| through. Pug White was as good u
! man as could be found anywhere to
play alongside Smith anG seynolds.
The wonderful development of r. c.
Reynolds at center can be considered
little less than phenomenal (more
credit to our coaches). On the left
side of the line Papa" Grissom and
Robert Bond played some of the best
games of their careers. The work
of Grissom at Fulton was one of the
outstanding features of the game.
Robert Bond. who always believes in
giving the other fellow what he gives
sure did give a sample of his wares
against South Fulton. Earl Heppner
at left end, was one of the best
smashing halves seen in action in
many days on the High School foot
ball field. May, fullback, snd Owens,
right half, could always be counted
on to make their shares of yardage
| through any line that was run up
against. Jordan, left halfback, played
the best season of his several football
years. He was always ground gain
er on end runs and has the distinc-
tion of making the highest number
of points for the season.
A complete list of the games played
| is as follows:

On Oct IA we ran up against a
team that was a little too far out of
our class. Greenfield cleaned us by
score of Al to 5. Despite the fact
of the large score it was one OF the
hardest fought games that has ever
been played O nthe local field. Green
field players admitted that 1t was one
Of the hardest games they had ever
played. We scored on them, which
is saying lot more than Jackson
and several other teams did. Joe
booted his third dropkick of the sea-
son through and Brock was tackled
behind his own goal line for a safe
ty.
In a game that was thrilling from
start to finish, played in Fulton
against Carr Institute on Oct. 21, the
final results were 13 to 0 in our fa-
vor. Jordan scored both touchdowns
and Callicott kicked one goal. In a
return game played in Union City on

Early in the season campaign
was inaugurated by which the team
might purchase uniforms and by the
hearty cooperation of our business
men we raised enough moneySto pur-
chase pants and jerseys. We are
greatly indebted to these men who
to this fund, and espe
cially so to Mr.. Boyd, who not only
gavesus a benefit picture but also ten
dollars of his own money. Hats off
to Mr.. Boyd and to the citizens who
helped us in this campaign.
If there is any one man who de-
serves credit for our wonderful show
ing it is Mr.. Dean Keiser. Mr.. Keiser
was with us from start to finish this
year and only missed 8 days the
whole season from being up TO prac-
tice. The team greatly appreciates
Mr.. Keiser's efforts in our behalf and
as an appreciation for his loyal sup
port gave him brand new sweater.
Dixon Williams and Mr.. Shelley
were always with us whenever it was
possible and had great inf dence
in the development of the team.
The slogan adopted by the basket
ball team is 'WATCH OUR SMOKE
Mr.. Keiser and Mr.. Shelley are get
ting the fellows in fine shane and a
