The Henry gridders made their initial appearance in the city league this year. The team was coached by two very able men, George Conklin and Bill Lundell. They played five games in the city league and showed the entire city the high type of sportsmanship, which they exercise. This year produced more intense rivalry than ever before, which binds the fellows and their opposition together in a common bond of friendship. Today the youth of America do fight—yes, but in a manner to test the other fellow’s strength and alertness. Rather than “dropping bombs” they believe in “passing balls.” If you have guessed the year, 1941, you are right.
