A fact from Harry Bolick appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 26 March 2023 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that American football fullbackHarry Bolick was described as being a more effective blocker than an iron fence?

... that after being named head football coach at Erskine College, Harry Bolick had to get all the equipment and recruit all the players himself? Source: [1] and [2] - its no wonder they didn't win any games that year!
ALT1: ... that one sportswriter called football player Harry Bolick "just what every coach would like to have but seldom gets"? Source: The Greenville News
@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.

Actually, after thinking about it, I think I like the iron fence hook more than that he had to get the equipment and players. So if its okay I'd prefer that be the one to get promoted. BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:42, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the prompt attention, to use a new hook we have to ping the reviewer @Onegreatjoke:Bruxton (talk) 22:01, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
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.
- Not done
