He played enough games to make his letter and no doubt will show gileiater improvement next year. ELMER SACKRISON, 17 Left Forward- Sacky Sacky graduated from the seconds late in the season. He showed promise of making a regu- lar berth next season. He is a steady player and does his best every minute of the game. HAROLD FRISBIE, '17 Right Forward- Friz Like Andy, he started out the season as second team Captain, but was soon drafted into the first team. Friz will improve rapidly next season for his playing this year was visibly better toward the last. J. K. FANCHER, Coach. 11021 1916 1

1916 BEE AITCH ESS 1916 GEORGE TINCKNELL, '16 Right Forward- Tincky,' It is seldom that a man can be found who is willing to sacrifice personal glory for the sake of the team. Tincky is such a player. Always on his toes, his pep never failed to bring a winning spurt from his team-mates. His grad- uation Will leave another big gap in the squad. JAMES MILES, '16 Left Forward- Tub With three years of experience behind him, Tub easily made the squad. Later in the season, handi- capped by being delinquent in his studies, he was forced to retire un- til the tournament, when he was again eligible. RALPH ANDERSON, '18 Right Forward- Andy Starting in with the second team, part of the time as Captain, Andy made such a good showing that he was soon drafted into the first team where he played contin- uously and with fine form. He undoubtedly will be the best play- er on the team before he gradu- ates.

The team played a schedule of seventeen games and in nine of these the score favored Batavia.

With foui' veterans, including Captain Council, Miles, Benson, and Tincknell on the squad, with Dunlop and McNair added, a good team was soon organized.
