NY ff-I Football B Men MELVILLE EWERT, Captain, Tackle Captain Ewert carried his responsibilities exceedingly well. It is true that he is a tower of strength physically, but it was his undying spirit that helped the team most. He is a great player, who will be sorely missed next year. DONALD BowMAN, Center. Don's previous years of service under Coach Saar proved to be very valuable in his play. With very few exceptions, his passes from center were perfect, which is com- mendable in any center. He will not be available next year. DONALD STALTER, Quarterback. Don ran the team while it was on the field, and little fault can be found with his leadership. Much depends on a quarterbacks judgment. His place will be hard to fill next season. EDXWARD ENGLEBRECHT, Fullback. This was Eddie's first year on the varsity football team, but he came through in first-class style. He has the qualities which merit his being rated with the former Bodmans. Not only was he an effective ball carrier, but he was a deadly tackler. Great things are expected of him next year. DELMAR HAUGHEY, End. Although Dell formerly played guard, he was shifted to end this season because of a shortage of material at that position. He will be back next year to help form Coach Saar's line, and his experience should be of much value to the team. KEITH JOHNSON, Halfback. Keith followed in the footsteps of his elder brother. Not only was he a clever ball carrier but also a good passer and punter. With another year of experience, it will take a good man to stay in his class. HAROLD GERTH, End. Wamba held down left end in his best style for Coach Saar. He is the type of player that never loses his spirit or fight. Another year of coaching will make a polished player of Gerth. He is one of the lettermen that will return next year. KENNETH Cox, Quarterback. Although Ken was handicapped by a leg injury, he always gave a good account of himself. He could always be depended upon to take care of his job, and he was often sent into the game at a critical moment, with valuable information. He will be back next year. 93 HT ff-1 1X?'3'71?ffi'XfT ff' 1-N' ' fr mx J'!.f LX
