Lincoln High School fielded a large football team in 1951. Coached by Norm Mayer and led by right tackle and captain, Frank Paige, the Abes were runner-ups in the 9th annual Grid-Go-Round held in September, 1951. The Stadium Tigers defended their title when they defeated Lincoln 6-0. Although the varsity only won three games during the season, the highlight probably came as they tied the perenniel powerhouse Stadium team 6-6 on a foggy Thanksgiving day. According to the Lincolnian yearbook, post-season honors were awarded to Frank Paige as all-city tackle and Warren Billingsley, guard, first team all Cross-State.
