w N. 1 x N Qjrfsgfsjgzfaq f ax f DOYLE PAL.MER-Fulzback ' As fullback, Palmer is a wonder. He plays the game every minute. When it comes to ploughing the line, with or without interference, there are none to compare with him. A hard tackler, a tower of defense and a wonderful offensive player, Palmer bids fair to be the best fullback in the conference next year. GALE SMITH-Center Fuzzy made a splendid pivot man this year. Very accurate and cool-headed he was equal to all emergencies. When Codney wanted to work his center sneak for the necessary yardage, Gale could always be depended upon to do his part. FLOYD PALMER,-Tackle - - Here was a valuable man. Snip slashed the opponents line, thus making holes for the backfield. His weight made him an ideal man for the position of tackle. He was steady and could always be relied upong to successfully carry out his part in any play. He will leave a gap in the line next fall, hard for anyone to fill as efficiently as he did. CARL SMITH-Quarterback This clever fellow was a most consistent and reliable player in practically every game. A keen thinker and able to meet any situation, he was elected captain! and played a brilliant game at quarter. He was a good tackler, drop kicker, a shifty runner and will be valuable to next year's team. JOHN RETTIG--End John stands six feet two, which makes him especially adapted to the position as end. His ability to snatch high passes made him most valuable to the team and contributed materially to its success. This was his Hrst year as a regular and much can be expected of him in the future. ELMER. MILLER-Guard Pete's position was at guard. He possessed a weight which placed his opponent at a disadvantage in the beginning and yet he was exceptionally fleet of foot, an unusual combination. Another year of football should bring out some good stuff in Pete. ROBERT BATTERSHELL-End Hicksville claims the smallest end in the whole conference. Though small, this fellow was a mighty player. Being built close to the ground he was continually getting tangled up with the opponents' legs, proving himself a great hindrance to their offensive. This is Pigmy's last year and too much credit cannot be given his effective interference and astonghing tackling in blocking many an end run of the opponents. He will be greatly misse . l84l l -V A .-...fins 34 r: Q'-511. '
