Looking EN- OUer
BY Phil

ffuth oil, tonffalhhtiohh w IiW
cipal John r. Foster, Coach Herman
Shocklcy and others responsible for
the placing OF football ON the ath'
letie program Of Junior high school.
II was step. a very timely step,
toward the development OF stronger
chickasha high school teams In the
future.
Since the time football has been
game OF skill as well as stamina
and weight. chickasha high school
coaches have been handicapped by
the shortage OF experienced material
Players who have made c. II. s.
football history during the past
four or five years were ready for
their caps and gowns by the time
they had gained enough experience
10 fight a real gridiron battle. They
did not try for n berth on the team
until they had entered the senior
high school as sophomores. Some
OF them spent only one season with
the scrubs" while others spent two
before they were graduated to the
first team. BY the time they had
become thoroughly familiar with
their berth on the regulars. they
were ready TO receive the sheepskin
and turn their attentions toward the
college campus and college grid
iron.
Offering OF football training to the
students OF the junior high school
promises some relief for this con
dition. Boys who have determina-
tion to make good on the gridiron
will come into senior high school
with some football experience--bet.
ter equipped to assist In the build
in gof stronger C. II. s. grid ma
chimes. They wNl have training
which cost some OF the regulars on
Coach Woody's Conference cham
pion eleven the pleasure of partici-
pating in many interscholastic foot
ball tilts. Those who were de-
prived of early training had to gain
a bulk of their football knowledge
after they entered the senior high
school.
There are number of promising
players on the Junior Hi team;
these will be regulars and In all /
probability, stars on C. II. S. elevens /
in years to come. Among these were |
those who have only one or two
seasons to wait for regular positions
on the varsity.
Neither time nor energy should T
be spared in arranging full sea
sons schedule for the Juniors next I
season. Give them experience and /
the reward will be faster stronger
Chickasha high school football
teams. AS an inducement to mem
bers Of the second string squad
keeping in condition and training,
games for the C. H. S. second team
should be arranged, II possible.
With a Junior high school team t
in the field, football fans here t
should see a new ray off hope for I
the maintaining Of the reputation
C. H. S. has made ON the football /
field during the past three seasons.
