Roscoe Hard Times: No Roscoe Hard Times This Week

(from The Roscoe Times, December 1, 1922)

ROSCOE 26 - ACC RESERVES 17

Roscoe high school closed its season in glorious fashion Thanksgiving Day by defeating the Abilene Christian College reserves on the Roscoe field 26 to 17.

The game furnished several thrills that kept the crowd in a high pitch of excitement. A.C.C. outplayed Roscoe in the first half and were leading 17 to 13 at the half. But during the second half, it was a different story. Behind perfect interference, Sam Fitzhugh made several long runs, and Jack Johnson and Schley Copeland played the game of their lives. The generalship of Cecil Smith would have done credit to any college player and the entire line played a great game against their much heavier college opponents.

Just to show they weren’t tired out, the Roscoe lads played Snyder a basketball game Thanksgiving night, and also won over them.

For the season, Roscoe won 8 of 9 games and scored 179 points to their opponents’ 60. Only three opponents scored on them, and only one, Big Spring, was able to win, that by 18-12.

No Roscoe Hard Times This Week

Dear Readers:

As many of you already know, I have been having some health problems since Saturday night, spending most of my time since then at Hendrick Memorial Hospital in Abilene. They released me last night, and I got home about 9:30 or 10:00pm. As a result, I was unable to make my rounds this week and find out what's been going on around town.

Here's hoping everything will be back to normal next week.
