"..on account of many disadvantages the soccer team had very little success this season...but the boys worked hard under this handicap and were coached by Delos Wolfe, a former soccer team member. The weather conditions were very poor, which kept the boys from practice a great deal, and most of the games were forfeited due to the condition of many of the players....the team played two games and showed a true fighting spirit from the beginning to the end of the games...."
