From The Chillicothe Yearbook
" A football meeting was called September 17th, to
elect a manager for the season, to which office George Boehner
was elected.
Practice started the next evening at Herriford's
Pasture. There were twenty or thirty boys out for practice
every evening, and prospects for a good team were in sight. As
time passed, the number dwindles to about fifteen and it
remained at this number all season.
Although we were not as successful this year as in
former years, we were far from being disgraced. We suffered
may misfortunes as there were but two old men on the team this
year. We also received a very severe blow when our speedy
quarterback, Dowell, suffered the misfortune of breaking his
arm. But however bad we will be defeated, we will always stand
good losers."

CHS Alumni Team |
Lost |
0 - 16 |
"The
first game was with the Alumni, at the CBC Athletic grounds.
We found opposing us a 170 pound team of such former stars at
Batta, Putman, Johnson and Chapman in the line-up. Despite the
fact we were out-weighed twenty five pounds to the man, they
failed to score against us in the first half, with the
exception of a safety. The game was played entirely during the
first half in their territory, except when Churchill punted
over Boehner's head and he was tackled behind our goal line.
The second half opened with the CHS defending the east goal. After
playing the Alumni to a standstill for twelve minutes, Batta
got away on a trick play and ran 85 yards for a touchdown. It
was during this quarter that we carried the ball to within
five yards of their goal line three times but were unable to
push it across.
The next quarter opened with CHS kicking to the Alumni, Chapman
receiving the ball and returned it to within two yards of our
goal line. here it took four downs for them to carry the
pig-skin across the chalk line. This ended the scoring for the
Alumni.

at Braymer |

6 - 14 |
"Braymer
was reported to have a 145 pound team. But, alas! Their 145
pound team turned out to be a 175 pound team. This was the
first time in the history of the Red and Black that Braymer
defeated C. H. S. Although we were defeated, it was, as a
Braymer boy said: 'We had the battle of our life.' Everybody
enjoyed the trip and we were shown many favors by the Braymer
Boys.

at Gallatin |
Lost |
6 - 31 |
"It
was a cold day and we never got warmed up until the end of the
first quarter. This was the toughest luck game we ever played.
Four of Gallatin's five touchdowns were scored on our fumbles,
and we scored three touchdowns but were not allowed but one.
Despite the fact we were not given a square deal by the
referee, the Gallatin team played a square and manly game, and
they were in no way connected with the refereeing or the
incident that happened in front of the restaurant at that
town."

Braymer |
Lost |
0 - 20 |
"Our
next was a return game with Braymer of which there is not much
to say. Having only one night's practice that week, on account
of the rainy weather, Braymer simply outplayed us, and
defeated us 20 to 0. Although there was some wrangling during
and after the game, it was, in general, a clean and
hard-fought game.
Our Next game, which was scheduled with Breckenridge, had to be called
off, because seven of our players were down in their studies,
and the faculty would not allow them to play."

| "About
this time a few squawkers captained by "Sloughfoot" organized
a Mohawk team and challenged the C.H.S. "standpatters" to a
game. their fate was similar to every outlaw team and when the
smoke of the battle had cleared away, it was found that the
C.H.S. team had defeated the "squawkers" by the sweet score of
51-0. |
