4 ffl 1 . A DEAN, FULLBACK Dean is like a ton of brick when he hits the line, and don't think he isn't! He went double-hot in the game against Benton Harbor, striking the Harborites' line like a steam engine and mowing them down like a scythe. Dean will be back to bother opponents next season. FIDDLER, HALFBACK Ed Fiddler can throw passes, as perhaps you know. His passes paved the way for the first touchdown that had been made against Benton Harbor up to the time we played them. Ed's pass to Pierce resulted in the victory over Central. Fiddler can run, too, as he demonstrated several times. BRIGHAM, GUARD Although not playing in so many games as some of the other members of the team, Stan certainly gave a mighty fine exhibition of football when he played. Stan was another of the stalwart line of Eastern, and a fine defensiveplayer. LYNCH, END Harold Lynch was a good end, a scrappy player, and in the brunt of the battle all the time. Lynch will be back for the 1930 roundup and should make good on the first squad. He was a substitute end in the latter part of the 1929 season, but a regular at first. VANDERLIP, FULLBACK Yanderlip was one of the high scorers of the state. He smashed through the opposition for 17 touchdowns and a total of 102 points. Fritz did most of the punt- ing for Eastern's gridiron team. CAMPIUN, QUARTERBACK Chuck was the pilot of the team in the first few games, and did a good job of it. Campion showed his heels to many a speedy opponent. He was excellent on thc forward passes, and was a good punter. KRUSZEVVSKI, Tacitus Johnny was only a Soph, but what a Soph! He played some fine games when he was in the lineup, and was a real go- getter. Kruszewski will probably be a regular this coming season, which bodes little good to opposing linemen. JOHNSON, GLTJKRD Johnson was a fine guard and was in the thick of the battle all the time. Frank was a wow on defense, and bore down on the opposite line with great consistency. He sure won his letter by the sweat of his brow. Don't believe it? Ask Frank! TURRILL, HALr1mc1t Vic Turrill, last, but far from least, was one of the speedy backfield men, who held a. regular berth. He was responsible for many gains on tackle plays. His dodging ability and fast running helped to no little extent. Page One Hundred Fifteen

.1 ,- Ad fi 4 1' KIBBY QC.-xP'1'.D, GUARD Kibby was the captain of the Quakers for the 1929 season. and a mighty good one. too. The lineman always had a hard job when opposing Bob Kibby. Bob certainly did his portion toward keeping Eastern in the race for the State title. MIl.l,l'llt, CENTER Lefty played in every game, much to the regret of opposing centers. who were outplayed by Miller in every game. He certainly grew hot in the Benton Harbor and Central games. Miller intercepted sev- eral passes in the Central game and kept the play on Central's territory most of the time. ROSS, 'l'Ac1cL1a Ross was named captain for Grat'f's 1930 football squad. Chet played a stellar game all season and allowed very few gains through his post. Ile was a tower of strength in the line, and a very capable player. IIUVVEY, 'l'AcKl.1-: Howey was a big surprise to everybody. When he was first practicing for the team he was not considered very seriously. but this tall senior later displayed great form, and was given his chance. It is needless to say that he made it. Any lineman who faced him knows that. PRICCO, END Hugo is the boy who brought the crowd to its feet when he snatched those passes for long gains. Pricco was plenty fast also, and got down under punts in great fashion. He will be back for the 1930 grid team. PIERCE. END Do you remember that pass that won the L'entral-Eastern game? Pierce is the end who received it from Fiddler and crossed ihc last chalk mark for the 6-0 victory over Central. Pierce was a steady player, and a good one. who will be back for the coming season. i HOFF, H.x1,F1i,xCK Hott is that speedy halfback who gained more yardage than any other Quaker, dur- ing thc 1929 season. He made those thrill- ing ott-tackle slants, and was a wow as an open field runner. many times leaving a tackler far behind. JUHENGEN, ll.u.r'1uCli lirnce played a great game at half. all year. clicking with great regularity. He scored nearly all of Easterxfs points after touchdowns. Johengen was a deadly tack- lerg when he got his hands on a man, he held him! Yes, Johengen will be back next year. Page One Hundred Fourteen

2nd Row: Karkaw, Sweet, Raff, Bement, Baird, Ferguson, Mr. Feeman, Slider, Trumble, Hill, Little lst How: Noyee, Ames, Strong, Prieco. Fine, Graeb, Stoney RESERVE FOOTBALL TEAM The Little Quaker reserves started out the season as though there was no opposition strong enough for them. The first game played was with the Central reserves. Our team came out victorious, 6-0. The next three games, with the School for the Blind, Okemos, and a return game with Central were easily won. But then they met their Vl'aterloo. The hard hitting Industrial School took the measure of our reserves, 25-0. Although the game was ragged at times, it was hard fought. The nucleus for future Quaker varsity will undoubtedly be built up with some of the Little Quakers.
