LOCAL FOOTBALL TEAM STARTS PRACTICE
Tuesday, September 11, 1923
The local gridders of the Greeneville High School completed their second practice
Monday afternoon at the East End ball park. Quite
a few husky men reported to Captain Charles Rosenblatt, hoping that they might make the
team. Greeneville has very good prospects
although only six of last year’s men have returned.
Although it is difficult to tell what will be the outcome of a season from the
first few days of practice, one may be safe in prophesying that Greeneville High will have
another one of the teams that have gone down in local foot ball history.
Already eight games have been scheduled by Manager Williams, the first being with
Tusculum on the 22 of Sept., the remaining games that are scheduled are Johnson City two,
Bristol, two, Newport two. |

BALL SEASON ON SATURDAY
Tuesday, September 18, 1923
The Greeneville High School will start their
football season Tuesday with Tusculum College Varsity and we are going to show you that we
will have some strong team this year. Of

tough time defeating us.
We have games with the best High Schools in East Tennessee and we want the public
to show us that they are behind us this year, and come out to the game Tuesday.
We have one of the hardest schedules this year we have ever had, the first three
games of the season being at home. We want
you to come out and yell for us; that will keep the old “pep” going.
The schedule for the season follows:
Sept. 25 – Tusculum at Greeneville
Sept. 29th – Erwin at Greeneville
Oct. 6th – Bristol at Greeneville
Oct. 19 – Newport at Greeneville |

TUSCULUM WINS BY
SMALL MARGIN OF 12 TO 6
Wednesday, September 26, 1923
The Tusculum College football team won one of the most exciting games of the season
yesterday afternoon at East End Park by a small margin of 12 to 6 over Greeneville High. Tusculum was unable to go through the line as they
had expected. Buddie Morgan and F. Clendennon
were the only men to make any gains, the former making both touchdowns, while Bug
Clendennon made the first touchdown of the season for G. H. S. getting the ball from
Morgan. B. Morrow showed up well, receiving
a pass and getting several tackles. Rosenblatt
showed up well as quarter back. He had the
boys fighting all through the game. They held
the Tusculum ??? close to the line several times.
The line-up was as follows:
| Greeneville |
|
Tusculum |
| Roberts |
R. End |
Blankenship |
| B. Clendennon |

GREENEVILLE TO PLAY
ERWIN TOMORROW
Friday, September 28, 1923
The Greeneville
High School eleven is taking the hardest practice of the year, and will be in good
condition for the coming game Saturday. Anderson
is showing up good this week in practice. He
still has the old fighting spirit.
Snapp, our center, is playing a great game this year. The tackles and guard could go through almost any
line. Morrow, our left end, is beyond all
expectations. Rosenblatt, our quarterback,
did some nice playing Tuesday in the game against Tusculum College, and he says he is
coming to play harder in the Saturday game. Erwin
has a good team this year and it will be one of the hardest games of the season, but Coach
McNeese says he is confident that with the practice we have had this week that we will
win. We are expecting a big crowd out to
boost the team. The game will be called at
Three P. M. |

REGULAR FOOT BALL
SEASON OPENS TODAY AT EAST END
Saturday, September 29, 1923
The Greeneville High school will open their regular football season today with
Erwin High school, and they are going to show you that they can play regular football.
The Erwin team is one of the strongest teams in East Tennessee and this will be a
very good game. They play clean ball and want
everybody to come out and see the game. You
went to the base ball games so now show the high school team that you are behind them and
come out and see an eleven of your own town boys and see what they can do. You will be pleased with them, and they will be
pleased to have you come.
The High School boys and girls are urged to come out and yell for the team. That peps them up, and makes victory easier.
The team is very grateful to Mr. Tom Brabson for giving them a coach this year and
getting them started and are sending him a special invitation to come out to the game. They want to show him they are making good. They also want to thank the merchants for kindness
shown them and hope they will come for the game. Don’t
forget to come out and cheer the boys. The
game will be called a three o’clock. |

ERWIN DEFEATS
GREENEVILLE HIGH
Monday, October 1, 1923
Erwin High School defeated Greeneville High School yesterday afternoon in the first
regular foot ball game of the season by a score of 64 to 0.
The local boys played a fiery game but the Erwin fellows were older and heavier and
they could not penetrate their line.
The boys were much disappointed at the very poor representation of the Greeneville
people present. There were over sixty people
with the team from Erwin and the visitors almost outclassed the local fans in number. This is a source of discouragement for the local
team. |

G. H. S. PLAYS TENN
HIGH
The Greeneville pigskin chasers will play Tenn. High of Bristol at East End Park
this afternoon at 2:30. The home team has
been working hard this week trying to whip some new material into condition. Every man who will be used is in the best of
physical condition with the exception of Williams. He
is suffering from a slightly bruised hip. Some
new men will see action before the final whistle blows.
Hallbrook has been showing some speedy work at practice. Bales will be added to the right end of the line
to fill the vacancy made when Clendenon was shifted to Full. Anderson will take over the quarter position. Smith has recovered from the injury received in
the Knoxville game and will strengthen the left half of the line. The following men will possibly answer the initial
whistle.

NEWPORT VS. G. H.
S.
Next To Last Football Game Of The Season On Home Ground
Friday, October 19, 1923
The Greeneville High School will play Newport at East End Park this afternoon at
2:45 P. M. This is going to be a good game. The two teams are well matched. The winner is doubtful. Let everybody who is interested in foot-ball come
out and help root for the home team.
The home team has ad the advantage of some good practice with the Tusculum Cubs. This experience will help them to win.
McCray has been elected captain of the foot-ball squad and he is sure of victory
for the home team. He is some little old
captain. The students of the G. H. S. have
not patronized the foot-ball games as much as they should have. It is clean, manly sport, all are the better for
seeing a good game of foot-ball. The boys
will fell so much better if there is a big crowd from Greeneville. It is lonely on a foot-ball field if your friends
are not there.
There is only one more game to be played on the home ground this season. This game will be called promptly at 2:45. Be there with flags and pennants, we need you. |
