The 1921 Season, From the pages of The Barnstable Patriot


Monday evening, October 3, 1921

A Good Mark Set

"The first football game of the season and the first game on the new field here occurred on Saturday afternoon. The contestants were Barnstable High School and the Tabor Academy teams. The score was 32 to 0 in favor of the home team. The visiting team has a professional coach who has coached Andover.

    While this is a grand victory, it is also pleasing that the first game on the new field sets so high a mark. Hurrah for B.H.S.!"

Monday evening, October 17, 1921

"The football game on L.H.S. field at Falmouth on Oct. 8th resulted in a defeat for Lawrence High. The score was 19 to 0 in favor of Barnstable High."

Monday evening, November 7, 1921

"The B.H.S. football eleven and fans went to Plymouth on Saturday for a game. While the B.H.S. team suffered defeat it was not for lack of good playing, this eleven lost but one game before this season."

Monday evening, November 21, 1921

"There will be a football game at the High school field on Thanksgiving day at 10:30 o'clock. The opposing teams will be Middleboro High and Barnstable High. A good game is expected."

B.H.S. Defeats Middlbeboro High School

"Thanksgiving morning at the High school field Barnstable High whitewashed Middleboro High to the score of 61-0. Barnstable made nine touchdowns and kicked the goal seven out of nine tries.

    The up-state team was unable to get any plays past the local high school's fast ends, and were but twice able to gain appreciably thru center.

    Barnstable made one touchdown on a forward pass, one on a fumble, one on an intercepted forward (pass), and the rest thru center and around the ends."

(Weather reports from that day noted it was "rainy, drizzly weather.")

"Following the game the players dined together at The Ferguson. It was regretted Thomas Murphy was not sufficiently recovered from the breaking of his leg to be present at the dinner. With the assistance of some of the boys he was able, however, to witness the game.

    After the dinner the young men were entertained at the Saturday Night Club, the rooms, piano, etc. all being gladly turned over to their service."
