@BeanieFan11 and Onegreatjoke: ALT0 is interesting, however we are making an assumption with the hook and in our article by saying, "meaning he had to buy all the equipment and recruit all the players for his team". The references do not say this from what I have read. They just say he faced shortages and had to solve the problem of getting equipment. I think ALT0 needs to be modified.

@Bruxton: Changed to "get all the equipment." BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:29, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Also, one more ALT hook I thought of in case there's issues with the others:
ALT2: ... that American football fullback Harry Bolick was described as being a more effective blocker than an iron fence? Source: Coach Walter Johnson couldn't have built an iron fence for better safeguard than Bolick

Notes

[edit]
  • Added college boxers, boxing referees, pitchers, and Army cats
  • Remove ref from lead. It's already in the article.
    • Done.
  • "Southeastern A. A. U. tournament" link AAU perhaps
    • Done.
  • Should Erskine baseball say 1946-47? The lake view one has a two year span and i thought he was only at lake view for one year
    • I changed the Lake View one.
  • How do we know he coached football at Seneca and Ford?
    • Per this ref: "Jack Ross, former football player, will assume his duties as coach at Seneca High School next Monday, according to Superintendent J. N. Kellett. The 20-year-old ex-Marine succeeds Harry Bolick, former Presbyterian star, who has accepted the job as coach at Ford High School in Laurens."
  • the infobox said he was all state in 1934 but I dont think i see that in the article?
    • Hmmm... you're right - it didn't say that in the article and I don't know how I found that initially, but I did a search and did find that to be correct so I added it in the prose.

That's all I think. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 05:39, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
