1916 BEE AITCH ESS 1916 Sernnil Hiram, Elinnthall, 1915 The Second Team, although they only played a few games, must not be forgotten. They are the ones who worked the hardest and did their best to pound the first team into shape. They might be losers, but not quitters, in- experienced but willing to learn, always striving for that much longed for position on the first team and a coveted HB. E112 Zilfeam Captain Miles, playing at tackle, where he could best utilize his 180 pounds, disappointed many a hopeful halfback, who desired to gain a few yards through his side of the line. Swan, the captain-elect of next year's team, played a guard position and was a fast linesman and worked hard to take care of his man. His punting ability was also recognized and he always kept the ball a safe dis- tance from our goal. O. Council, playing at tackle helped to strengthen the line greatly. Oats was a steady player, and opened big holes for the backs. McNair was a strong and reliable man to have in the center of the line. Sug's passes were fast and accurate and he was never beaten till the game was ended. Sackrison well deserved the position as end. Sacky was small but fast for his size and will be a valuable man next year. Markuson proved himself fully capable of handling the guard position. He was in the fight from start to finish and played a cool, steady game. Sandberg, playing at left wing, sized up the plays well and smashed up the interference of the opponents time and again. Benson, playing at full-back, developed into a second Shean. Ricky played smashingly on defense 5 and always mixed in everything that came his way. Dunlop was the fastest man on the team. He played half-back, mak- ing many gains by his long end runs. By next year Rus will be devel- oped into a most reliable player. Johnson filled the other half-back position in good style. Abie was quick to get away, and found his way through holes in a clever manner. R. Swanson was a remarkable line plunger and a good tackler. He was a good player both on defense and offense. Averill made up for lack of weight by speed. Bobbie interchanging at half and quarter was a slippery runner and made some very good gains. He will be a strong man at quarter next year. Newton played at half-back position, fast on his feet and a good dodgerg made many good gains around end. Newt was always ready to do his duty. Tincknell, at quarter-back, filled his place well. He was given this position at the beginning of the year and played so well that it remained in his possession throughout the season. E981

g 1916 BEE AITCH ESS 1916 OTIS COUNCIL, '17 Captain and Right Guard Oates played a very successful season as right guard and filled his office as captain satisfactorily. Sickness during the season pre- vented him from showing his best form. He was the most consistent player on the squad. RUSSELL DUNLOP, '18 Left Guard- Russ Always ready to do his part plus a little more. Russ made good on the squad and held his position regularly. He could in- variably be counted on for a field goal. He was elected Captain for 1916-1917. RICHARD BENSON, '16 Center- Ricky Here is a man who stands in most of the games. He could al- ways be depended upon in a pinch. His graduation will leave a big hole in the squad.
