Afternoon, Jan. 6, '55 m l i> u \ * OLD SWEDEN By Mir. and Mrs. Sarold Dobson Here's? Our All~Brockport Guardmen of 1914 ., With football bowl games in the news, on radio and television, this week, let's look back 40 years. In the early fall of 1914 plans were being made for the formation of an aU-Brockport football team. Donald Lawler (now in Michigan) probably the best halfback that ever wore a Brockport Normal uniform, with the possible ex- ception of \Sping\ Whitney (who now lives near Philadelphia) is behind the plan. There is considerable local football talent of no mean ability, as was shown in last year's team when the Brockport 11 met but one defeat, that at the hands o£ the champion Scalpers of Roches- ter by a score of sevent and six. The locals outplayed the Roches- ter team, too the latter's touch- down coming in the last minute of play, when it was so dark that it was almost impossible to follow the ball. Among those who have been suggested for the team are Boyd Williams, for three years full- back on Brockport Normal and sides in Brockport); Ken Heinrich, .quarteititnck; on the. Normal teani in '311, '12, and '13 (now, resides in Brockport w|tb bujinisjj! h\Roph~ ester);, Grover wnleyV *hei\Oia (RHchigain tackle! Vineejnjb \Dap^ Dailey, captain and guard, on the Georgetown team In 1910 and 1911; Tommy Ward, who played on the Batavia High 11 for Jhree years; PredBanker, a member of the crack Brockport team of 1906 which-went through the season without being scored on (Vincent Dailey is in New York,, Fred Banker *in Rochefeter); Bred Heuer, who has. been one of the best linemen for Brockport for several years; Guy Nelson, the Brockport Nonnal center of '10 and '11 and a member of the Michigan freshman squad of 1912; 'Murph\ Ellis, a guard On the local team, for four years (Nelson and Ellis are Brockport residents); Milt Conkling tackle on the Normal 11 in '11 and '12; \Kid\ Amidon, end on locaL team in 1908, '09, and '10; \Za\ Walters, one of the fastest ends Brockport ever played; and Pat Murray, a youngster who should make good. Fifty years ago—57 deaths and B births in the village in .4914. The name of Sweden's famous authoress, the late llary Jane Holmes, has been publicized by the newspaper contest in New York.. We have answered several letters, and received a phone call on New Year's Day from Tarry- town, N. Y. Is it not a pity that the local museum does not have a complete set of her writings? We shall publish soon a list of those needed to complete a set, in the hope that readers will co- operate in presenting necessary volumes. History Notes 75 Years Ago 1880 Hon. F. P.
