Fragmented river of history in a shaken town
A rambling, patchwork chronicle blends a creaking antique car collision with brief notes on Iowa presidential hopefuls, a 15 pound California birth, and scattered quips from the era. It closes with a quirky courthouse tale and a travel passport joke.
East-West High Grid Contest Uncertain for 1923 and 1929
East and West High football teams may resume relations in 1929 with a Friday half holiday for the game, though scheduling work has not begun. Officials favor a Friday Thanksgiving or Armistice Day setup over a Thanksgiving-only clash. Charles City authorities asked coaches Makeover and Miller to sign a home-and-home contract for Thanksgiving games in 1929 and 1930, both sides showing interest. East High defeated Davenport 2 to 0 in Davenport this year.
