From The Chillicothe Yearbook
"The foot-ball season of 1910
was
not so brilliant as that of 1909 but proved to be one of many
victories. When foot-ball practice opened it found only three
of the regulars of last years team back again. J. J. Kahn who
taught our 1909 team how to play championship football was
again wanted to coach our team but his services were not
procurable. It was then that Mervin Jones, captain of last
year's team, was hired. He began coaching after the Linneus
game and certainly did a lot of good."
(Summary from the Yearbook follows the score)
Note: According to a newspaper article, Kahn stated he wanted
to be paid $300 for his coaching duties. The school board felt
that was too expensive.

Oct. 1st the team went to Linneus after only a weeks practice
without a coach. All went well until the last quarter. We were

to pieces with the final score of 11 to 10, our first and last

Breckenridge |
Won |
26 - 0 |
"The
next Saturday, Oct. 8th, Breckenridge arrived to avenge the
score made in 1908. Although Breckenridge held well for a few
downs their former idea of the score was a dream. They got the
goose egg end of the score 26 - 0."

at Laclede |
Won |
11 - 6 |
"On
Oct. 22nd we had our first really hard game with Laclede. They
had several fast players and the first part of the game looked
dark, but the coach finally put in his appearance and we made
two touchdowns and kicked goal once, making the score 11 to 6"

at Brookfield |
Won |
17 - 0 |
"The
next game was with Brookfield with the usual accompaniments, a
game for us and many misunderstandings, for Brookfield is
particular about the proper way to tackle When the game
finally stopped we were ahead by the score of 17 to 0."

Nov. 5 |
at Breckenridge |
Won |
15 - 0 |
"The
following Saturday we played our return game with
Breckenridge. They had improved greatly since the first game,
but our goal was never in danger."

| Sat. |
Nov. 19 |
at Hamilton |
Won |
11 - 2 |
"The
last game was played on Nov. 19th with Hamilton on their own
grounds. They had never been scored on and had no intention of
losing the game. Their team was heavy but rather slow. our
forward passes worked well during this game. Hamilton scored a
touchback on a fumble but we were far ahead with the score at
the best 11 to 2."
"Next year's team should be a good one. Only three of the players leave.
"Tommy" Jones and "Bottle" Wikoff will surely be missed. It is
to be hoped that next year we will again take the championship
of North Missouri." |
