November 30, 1899… There was no information for this week in the files. December 1, 1921… Midway closed out its season with a 7-0 victory over Danville on Thanksgiving. The game was played on Centre’s field, which was very slippery. McKinney missed a field goal in the first period and Faust slipped twice in the next quarter when nearly free for touchdowns. In the final quarter, Alfred Portwood burst through the line for a remarkable run of 70 yards and the only touchdown of the game. Mose Portwood kicked the extra point. Faust and Campbell led interference for A. Portwood on the run. The season record was as follows: 13 Richmond 0; 27 Versailles 0; 7 Shelbyville 7; 49 Eminence 0; 13 Kavanaugh 19; 26 Georgetown College 2nd team 0; 27 Carlisle 0; 19 Paint Lick 0; 7 Danville 0.
