Football At the opening of College last September, the question heard on every side was, What kind of a football team are we to have this yefmff -In many minds there was serious doubt as to whether St. J ohn's would be able to produce a team equal to those of former years. ' Cur two halfbacks, Carey and Beatty, had graduated, leaving two very important positions to be filled. Professors Cain and Chew, who had rendered valuable assistance to our teams by their coaching, had left St. John's, and Captain Wilmer, our star quarter, could not play. Altogether the prospects were not very bright. Undaunted, however, by these difiiculties, the fellows went to work to make not merely a football team, but a good team. Halbert was unanimously chosen captain, and under his leader- ship the men began to prepare themselves for the coming contests. For two weeks, the candidates were put through the regular couse of preliminary practice 5 then came the first line-up. From that day until the close of the season every man on the team worked hard, and onthe 21st of November they brought back to Old St. J ohn's, laurels of a victory which-made her the undisputed. champion of Maryland colleges. To our worthy captain, E. C. Halbert, is due muchof the success of the past season. Professor Cissel, in his address to the students, at the close of the season, said, I consider Captain Halbert fully qualified to take his place beside St. John's most famous captain, Charles Schofl'. In Professor Cissel theteam found a much-needed coach, and his faith- ful services proved to be of great value throughout the entire season. And last, but not least, to every player on the team is the credit due. While .we have as plucky a set of men as composed last year's team, filled with the true St. John's spirit, and led by a captain like theirs, the Crangeiand Black will ever maintain its high position among th colleges of Maryland and of America. doggy, XX 127
