PAT CROWELL (Captain). George Crowell, called Pat, because his foreparents sojourned for a few centuries on the Emerald Isle, on their way to America from Europe, bears the enviable distinction of being the captain of the all-victorious football team of 1908. Pat holds down the position of right tackle, and dur- ing his four years has been known as one of the most con- sistent players on the squad. He weighs close to 180 pounds. His home is in Attica, a town said to be in Sumner county. Pat is 22 years old, a graduate from the law school this spring and a pet of Uncle Jimmy ' s, which however is not the only reason he is going to graduate, as Pat is a good student. TOM STEPHENSON. Tom Stephenson alternated with Dahlene at full back. He has also played with great promise at half. Stephenson weighs 186 pounds and is 20 years old. He comes from Holton, Kas. Steve played full back in the Missouri game. ' TOMMY JOHNSON. Tommy Johnson is not only a football star but a bas- ketball star and captain of next year ' s team and also a track athlete. It was owing to the head work of Tommy and the dexterity with which he handled the ball that much of the splendid success of the team during the season was due, for Tom plays at the responsible position of quarter. Johnson is a Junior in the College and a resident of Lawrence. He is another one of the famous athletes who became a fraternity man during the year joining Phi Delta Theta. Johnson was one of the great punters of the year. He weighs 158 pounds. 208
