George Mather & 1926 Soccer Team San Jose CA

George Mather in "The Bell" yearbook, 1926, San Jose High School's soccer team. The following was written about their season:
"..on account of many disadvantages the soccer team had very little success this season...but the boys worked hard under this handicap and were coached by Delos Wolfe, a former soccer team member. The weather conditions were very poor, which kept the boys from practice a great deal, and most of the games were forfeited due to the condition of many of the players....the team played two games and showed a true fighting spirit from the beginning to the end of the games...." George Mather is dressed in sweater and slacks, standing right side of photo.
People in photo include: George Mather

My life-time love of geneology and old photos led to the concept of Ancientfaces back in 1999....through the site I have made contact with previously unknown cousins in Australia, Tasmania, England, Scotland and various states in the US, broadening and enriching my family stories, photos and family relationships. The names I am researching resided in and/or settled the following areas: South Wales; Scotland; Northern Ireland; Normandy; Germany, Belgium & the Netherlands; Virginia; West Virginia, Kentucky, Kansas, Idaho and Washington state; first wave of settlers in the Hudson River & Mohawk River Vallies; founding fathers of New Haven, Middlesex and New London Counties, CT, along with Suffolk, Norfolk & Middlesex Counties in MA; first wave of settlers to Quebec and Ontario, Canada. Also, I am a member of the Mayflower Society after tracing my maternal side to John Billington, a Mayflower passenger ( with his family) who settled in Plymouth , and signed, the Mayflower compact.
