As he drew the ball unto him, a Nelson player kicked the ball out of his hands. It flew into the arms of the Nelson quarter and he ran about seventy yards for a touch-down without any opposition. There is no use to kick about the loosing of the game, as it was, as I said before, the greatest game I have ever seen an Aggie team play. We must offer our modest coach, Pat Norris, a great deal. of praise for his creditable work in coaching the team. All he had was green material except one or two men who played last year. He made the best team he could, and it was a winner from the start. I think it is one of the best teams that the School of Agriculture has ever turned out- The whole school wish Pat the best luck in the world and express a genuine desire that he be here next year to coach the Aggies to another winning season. For next year we have a man of exceptional ability to lead the Aggie team to victory. Osbourn, of Broken Bow, was captain last year and he has been re-elected for the 1916 season. Here is a man of great possibilities. He plays in a way of his own and we hope someday to hear that he has made a name for himself at Nebraska, as have many men who have gone before him. Here is the honor roll of letter men : FIRST TEAM Osbourn, Cap. Carpenter Johnson Stratton Wheeler Love Kreuger Thomsen Griffith ' I Phillips Mockett Leibers Nelson Culbertson SECOND TEAM Humpheries Fairley Wintermute Versaw Rogers Campbell The whole school gives these men who up- held the school honor their best wishes and highest esteem for the coming season of 1916. 125

He is swift on his feet, and sure of his passes but all he lacks is height. Ole can- always be counted on to stop one or two men but sometimes he stops more. Altho he hasn't a long list of goals to his credit he is largely responsible for the small scores of our opponents. This is his third and last year on the team which means that there is a large pair of shoes to be flied next year. He is a good example of Lincoln's well known basket- ball material. 'K Schmick Schrneckle Schmeckle is our big curly headed forward and was the star of the team. He sure is bashful, but when it comes to playing basket- ball he can make the best of them sit up and take notice if he once gets the notion into his head. His presence was greatly missed in the State Tournament. This is the second and last year for the boy from Fall City. Root This is his first year on the team, but never- theless he plays the game like an old veteran. He is a demon when it comes to shooting baskets and once he gets started the enemy had better look out. He is rather ashamed to admit it but he really comes from Omaha. It is reported that he is a fusser of the gentle sex. We expect great things from Root next year. Go to it Root the whole school is for you. Root
