[edit] Simpkins-Ford
Annis was a member of the St. Louis Simpkins-Ford club from at least 1948 to 1950. During that time, Simpkins was a dominant team, winning both the 1948 and 1950 U.S. Open Cup championships.
[edit] National and Olympic teams
Annis was selected for the U.S. soccer team at the 1948 Summer Olympics. However, he did not play in the only U.S. game of the tournament, a 9-0 loss to Italy.
Later that summer, he earned his only caps with the U.S. national team, a 3-1 win over Israel on September 26, 1948.[1] In 1950, Annis was part of the U.S. team at the 1950 FIFA World Cup, but never entered a game as the U.S. went 1-2 in the first round. Annis was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame in 1995, along with the rest of the 1950 U.S. World Cup squad.
