In the fall of 1928 the boys of B.H.S. became interested in foot-ball which had not been played in the school for an elapse of five years.  As football had not been played for so long a period it was necessary for new equipment and expert coaching to be exhibited.  The money for the suits and necessities was received by the sale of magazines by the whole school, while the coaching was contributed by Mr. Casey and Mr. Nelson.  To the latter we own very much credit for out great success.  It took very much time and patience to produce such football as was exhibited by the team.  Not only did these great coaches produce a winning team for the season of 1928 but for the seasons to come.  Who doesn't remember that Sidney game with third down, ten yards to go, twenty seconds to play and Captain Roberts ran thirty yards around Sidney's and for a touch-down?  Very much credit was given to the team for their wonderful exhibition in this game.
