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.

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

A 4: Saturday afternoon: banners flying, colors waving, trumpets blowing, horns tooting, Q drums beating, snow flying, in fact, everything to make a perfect setting for a fall football 1' ' game. This was the day of the Central-Eastern game. The two schools had their annual Lgfifwl football clash on November 23, 1929. In the previous year Central picked up a blocked ..: punt and won the game 6-0. f hx. -' 'Y nw S When the opening whistle blew, Eastern was defending the east goal. Vanderlip imme- b diately made the initial first down. The first quarter ended with the ball on Central's 38 yard 1 j J line. At the beginning of the second quarter Vanderlip made a first down on Central's . X- 27 yard line and then on the 15 yard line. When it looked as if Eastern was going across f Q the goal, Central's defense strengthened and the first half ended scoreless. 4:1 . , A EI The third quarter also ended with a score of 0-0. Eastern, however, dominated the play K ' 1i in the last quarter. Vanderlip and Fiddler pushed the ball to Central's 11 yard line where fii Q it was lost on downs. Neuman of Central punted and Fiddler was downed on Central's N 33 yard mark. Pierce then took a 15 yard pass from Fiddler and ran 17 yards for the I 7- i, 1 only touchdown of the game. The game ended 6-0 in favor of the Quakers. if-'P 3 1 if A review of the game shows that Central gained but 13 yards from scrimmage to lv i A Eastern's 194' yards. Central made one first down, Eastern eight. Both teams played an f S excellent game. Q. Between the halves, the Eastern and Central bands entertained. Each in turn formed Vg its school letter and played the school song as the spectators sang. This was the occasion A K 3 4 for the Eastern band's first appearance in their new uniforms and the first public singing of ' 2 V XY the new school song Hail Eastern?
