Shawsheen Indians
Shawsheen Indians were a
soccer club based in Andover, Massachusetts
during the early 1920s.
History
The Shawsheen Football Club, known by its nickname The Indians, was founded by George Park and played in the New Bedford Industrial Soccer League in the early 1920s. In 1924, Park left the team and George Wallace, private secretary to
American Soccer League for the 1925-1926 season. Using a revamped lineup, including several players on loan from the Fall River F.C., the Indians began the season well. However, William Wood died early in the season and his successors ended the American Woolen Company's sponsorship of the Indians. Attendance alone was unable to pay for the team's expenses and it was forced into banckruptcy, withdrew from the ASL at the end of March 1926 and ceased operations.[1]
