Ellsworth in the mid-1920s
Ellsworth's Main Street looked busy in the mid-1920s with lots of
power cables and some cars.
There was also a sign in the middle of the street that gave the
advice Keep to the right.
The fine building on the corner was probably the most photographed
building in Ellsworth.
Both windows say, State Bank of Ellsworth. See
a 1955 news ad for the Ellsworth Bank.

1925 EHS Football Team
The following rticle from the September 17, 1925 Ellsworth News:
|
Coach A. R. Johnson is having a real time to get
his football team into shape.
Last year's quarterback, fullback,
right halfback and right end were left vacant by graduation, and these
positions seem to be hardest to get into shape. The line this year
will be heavier than last with a few big men in it — Captain Sexy, C. Ringstad,
possibly Merlin Westwick,M. Allen, C. Kullberg, A. Ringstad, G. Prescott,
H. Pearson and others. The back field will probably be
made up of 0. Hamre, L. Olson, C Ringstad, M. Westwick, L. C. Johnson.
In spite of the fact that a few heavies
graduated last year we expect to have a heavier team this year, so come
out and see the Webster City-Ellsworth game on Saturday. |
from the September 24, 1925 Ellsworth News:
LOCAL FOOTBALL SEASON OPENED
DEFEATED BY WEBSTER CITY AND PLAYS JEWELL TO A SCORELESS TIE.
| Ellsworth High school was downed
in the first game of the season at Webster City Saturday by the mighty
aggregation at the county seat town. The score was 45 to 7.
While Ellsworth had a much lighter team than Webster City, most of their
defeat is laid to poor passing, the opponents making four touchdowns on
intercepted passes. The game gave the local high school men a good
workout as only the eleven regular men were used in the game. |
| The squad this year is composed
of but fourteen men, while Webster City had better than fifty men to choose
from, and played twentyeight in the game Saturday. Ellsworth
got its touchdown in the last quarter at which time they were going strong
and making long gains. The first home game was played Tuesday at
Oak Park as a feature of the I. O. O. F. celebration. Jewell
was the opponent and the teams were evenly matched, the game resulting
in a scoreless tie, 0-0. |

1929 EHS Basketball Team
From the March 29, 1929 Ellsworth News
Sioux City wins
over Ellsworth - Ellsworth High School's basketball team was defeated
last Thursday evening by the East Sioux City High School team in the first
round of the state championship meet at Iowa City. The final score
was 24 to 17, in favor of the Sioux Cityites.
The local boys put up a mighty
good scrap during the game, but as Sportswriter Peterson of Webster City
says, "Fate walked in," and fate decreed that Ellsworth should lose at
this stage of the game. The Ellsworth fans, and the many outside
friends of the team, are, however, very well pleased with the season's
record of the team. Losing only two games of regular season's schedule,
the team set up a mark that speaks well of the playing ability of the members
of the team. |
