	'''High School Football in Saranac Lake'''		'''High School Football in Saranac Lake'''

	~~By Jim Clark~~

	Beginning in the fall of 1923 high school football made its debut in Saranac Lake and it quickly became a very popular sport for both players and fans. Many towns and villages around the North Country looked forward to the weekend games. Newspaper coverage of games in the 1920’s and 1930’s was quite extensive throughout northern New York, and this certainly helped to make high school football a popular attraction in the early years. [[Saranac Lake High School]] quickly established a reputation for excellence on the field in the 1920’s and that reputation continues into the 21st Century. The efforts of players and coaches have been has been a great source of pride for the school and the community throughout the decades.

On the next Saturday, October 22, the team played a breath taking game at Plattsburg which ended in a 6-6 tie. — The following Friday the managers arranged a game with Potsdam to take the place of the championship game, on our home field. This ended in a 7-0 victory for the visitors. On November 5, the last game of the season was played with Malone on Kilburn-Morse Memorial Field. From the opening whistle the Red and White team pushed the unwilling Malonites up and down the field to atone for former defeats.

A great many of the previous season's group were lost by graduation, and an almost entirely new line and backfield had to be constructed from the available material of the second team. — The season was begun with a game against Malone, which the "Big Red" boys won 19 to 6, after trailing 6 to 0 at the half. However, this first bout proved a costly one, for, due to injuries and other causes, several games elapsed before they got back into the winning column. — Although the team had only a mediocre season, there were several outstanding and memorable performances. Among them are listed "[[Rube Skeels\|Rube" Skeels]]' seventy-yard run for a touchdown in the Malone game, Hugh Kelly's sixty-five yard runs in the Canton and Lake Placid games, which were both good for touchdowns, "[[Donald V. Dupree\|Ducker" Dupree]]'s passing, "Jack" Ryan's great defensive playing, "Shipwreck" Kelly and Ray LaRose's teamwork, "Jake" Edelberg's hard tackles, and Leo Miller and "Beef" Knapp's fine backing. — Many will be lost at graduation, but there is a large squad out this spring, and we hope to see Mr. Mahoney have a championship team next year, for to him goes much of the credit for this year's success. Next year's team will be captained by "Jake" Edelberg, and we wish him and his men the best of luck even though we won't be here to cheer them on. ]]
