Some Stuff I Wrote and Some Stuff I Didn't (2011) H. Morris Williams
The football player of to day is so well protected by the modem rules of
the game, as well as by his equipment, that his chances of being hurt are
no greater than those of the average bicycler or horseback rider.
This season our Commandant took charge of the training squad and
personally conducted their exercises, and to say this, is a guarantee that
the work was done thoroughly.
To show that the training was not done with intent to kill anybody let us
add that, in addition to the work of Lieutenant Cox, we were very
materially aided by the advice and coaching of two members of the
Faculty, Professors Blair and Miller, and of a minister of the Gospel,
Rev. Mr. Tims, of the Presbyterian Church of Lake City,
The team entertained very strong hopes of meeting some other teams
during the past season, but owing to circumstances over which we had
no control we were unable to get the games we so desired, but we are
looking forward eagerly for the next season, and hope for better things in
the future.
