S Tl-IE1911Ai.MANAC XVI!-BLEH In lVisler at half the team had a very clever player. Although out of several games. he played with a vengeance when called upon. He should he one of the best next fall and we are counting on him a great deal to keep the team up in the running when so many old men will he gone. BIERDEMAN Another one of the men who helped take' care of the half situation was Bierdeman. Particularly good on carrying the hall and equally as good on the defense, we had as a half-hack a very clever player. Many things are expected of him next fall when the call is given for candidates. Ci.-XRDNER It was a stone wall they found when they struc lx him, and a good sized one at that. Gardner was well adapted to play guard. for when he got his anatomy hetween center and tackle there was no room left for anything. Byron was always o11 the job and the team will miss his strength and beef next fall. He is going to prep. school. 149

him. Merrell's ginger had the team going all the TH E1911ALMANAC RIERRELL Tom is another of the regulars who graduates. Those dashing runs around the end was his specialty. lYhen he cut loose with the pigskin around the left, it took more than one to stay time. We hid him farewell. PEf'K Left tackle was well filled this year hy big Peck. lYhen he got his frame in the way, some- thing always had to stop. He played a great game on the offense. making the gap when neces- sary and carrying the hall skillfully when called upon. He had rightfully heen chosen to lead the team this fall. but has left school and so we lose another veteran. f'H1EsA Besides heing a great kicker. George was a powerful pivot-man. A mountain on the de- fense and a hattering ram on the offense is he. He is one of the old standhys on the team. and we will he glad to see him hack this fall. 1521
