ЕХ ў IT 14, stituted at fullback. Conlon, as an end, and Powell, as a sub guard, always proved to be reliable players. In basketball Rudolf Kruger and Sam Lanes upheld the honor of the Class of January, 14. Kruger, the fiery-topped forward, was one of the mainstays of the team of 1913, while Lanes played well at guard for the second team.

The credit, however, is due not only to themselves, but to their coaches, Mr. Anderson and “Рос” Sargent. Our athletes and those they represent recognize this and give a vote of thanks to those who have worked so hard and so faithfully to make it possible for so many of them to sport a C.
