Charity football game sparks grid interest on Armistice Day
Interest grows among players and public for a charity football game likely on Armistice Day. A high school clash with Fairfield may attract many Washington residents, with a night game for a nominal fee benefiting the Good Fellows Christmas basket fund and the athletic field fund. Practice sessions continue at Cavalry field with Coach Freshwaters present and Henry Berde showing speed. Tentative plans include a practice game with Penn College next week. Ed Ribble and Wisie Long were seen visiting in town.
