From the Hershey Comm
unity Archives: \;Cocoa Bean Football Game &nd
ash\; Hershey Community Archives (hersheyarchives.org)
\nThe Cocoa Bean Game began in 1943 as a community service project of the R
otary Club of Hershey and the Hershey Civic Club. The local football teams
of Hershey High School and the Hershey Industrial School [now known as th
e Milton Hershey School] wanted to play each other. Ralph Hoar\, then head
of athletics for the Hershey Industrial School\, is generally credited wi
th the original idea for the game.
