From The Chillicothe Yearbook
"When the foot-ball season of
1911 rolled around to the Chillicothe High School, it found
that only three of last years players were gone. it commenced
with brilliant prospects and we hoped for the repetition of
the luck we had in the fall of '09 when C.H.S. carried away
the championship of North Missouri and noted for it's
excellent team.
A meeting of the boys was held Sept. 15, John Atwell
being elected Captain and Harry Johnson manager. It was
several days before a field could be secured for practice."
(Note: A newspaper article of the day stated the rest of
the season was cancelled due to poor grades by the players)

"Brookfield
was secured to play a game on Oct 14 which was the first day
of the Livingston County Fair. It was late when the game
started, and this time we were unsuccessful. A few days before
our team had taken up a new system of signals, and in the game
the players got the new signals mixed with the old ones."
