The TRAIL 117 Gabe Squad . ANsoN B. CORNELL, Coach CAPTAIN WITTEBORG Witteborg, Captain, Class of '23,hails from Caldwell. Plays a bear of a game at end, as he is a demon on forward passes. Although handicapped by injur- ies in the Whitman game, he was always available in a pinch. CAPTAIN-ELECT WALSH John Walsh, Right Guard, Class of '22, Halls from Wendell. Jim's brother. Hardest fighter, most consistent work- er on the line. He specializes in break- ing up plays before they get organized. An excellent man to lead next season's team. Walsh, Jim--Center. Class of '22, Domes from Wendell. Brother of John. Power of strength in the center of the line. Jim specializes in slipping through the opponents' line and smearing plays before they are organized. Tolles-Left Guard. Class of 1921. Hails from Emmett. Although lightest man on the line he is one of the most stubborn and specializes in leading in- terference for his backfield. Grothe-Left Tackle. Class of '23, Hails from Nampa. Although the youngest player on the team, and the lea-st experienced, Very few games were made over him throughout the season. As a football player the future h-olds wonderful possibilities for him. Eastman-End. Class of 1924. Hails from Hanover, N. H. An ideal smashing end, who hits hard, and allows very few plays to slip past him. Jackson, Jim-Right Tackle. Class of 1923. Homeguard. Tower of strength, both on offense as well as defense. Rated in Idaho as the equal to any tackle play- ing in Pacific Coast Conference. Let us hope that Jackson will be with us two more years. Braskamp. Right End. Class of 1923. Caldwell. Specializes on offense in re- ceiving and on the defense in intercept- ing forward passes. Although very light for an end, he is a lover of the game and gives all he has. Wade Lowell-Quarterback. Class of 1923. Caldwell. Brother of Blake. Has everything required of a good quarter- back. He is shifty, agile and passes with accuracy. On the defense he han- dles punts and at the close of the season his average remained 100 per cent. In the judgment of the coach he is the equal of any quarterback on the coast. Gardner-Halfback and Mgr. Class of '22. Caldwell. Deak is the lightest in the backfield, but very speedy and elusive. Also he is a good line plunger and his gains are consistent. McLaughlin -- Halfback and End. Class of 1923. Hails from Tucker. Has the honor of being the smallest man on the squad. Little Mac is fast and has more football stuff in his little frame than the majority on the squad. His success is due to the fact that he does not permit' the f2ll1'G1'-SSX to interfere with his training. Huett--Halfback. Class of 1923. Hails from Roswell. Although handi- capped in the early part of the season with an injured leg, he was able to play throughout the season. Huett's specialty is in throwing forward passes. Blake Lowell-Fullback. Class of '23. Caldwell. Only 19 years old, he is rated as the hardest hitting back in this sec- tion. He leads wonderful interference and receives forward passes well and ex- cels in punting. Blake also plays an ex- cellent game on the defense at backing up the line. Hawkes-Halfback. Class of 1921. Caldwell. He is a very dependable half- back, always playing a consistent game and excels as a punter. We will miss him next year. Welsh Porky -Lineman. Class of 1923. Caldwell. Available for any po- sition on the line. Welsh has always made a creditable showing every time he was given the opportunity. We should hear from Porky next year. Hartkopf-Quarterback. Class of '23, Caldwell. Although not built for a na- tural football player, he can be idep-ended upon to give all he has. Through his efforts in running and coaching the sec- ond team, a great share of our success is due him. Elected manager for next year.

116 The TRAIL C. of I. Foot Ball Season Successful OOTBALL at the College of Idaho the past season was what one would call a success in more than one way. It was a success from the standpoint of the coach, the team, student body, fac- ulty, alumni and business and professional men of the town. This year we were able to branch out from our conference and lesser games and received recognition from the Northwestern Schools, by playing Whitman College of Walla Walla here Oct. 23. Although on the short end of the score we made creditable enough showing, to enable us to place four games on our next se-ason's schedule, from the larger schools of the northwest. Aside from the Whitman game and our game with Brigham Young College of Logan, Utah, we confined ourselves to conference teams, namely, Gooding College and Idaho Tech. Institute, both of which we easily de- feated, giving us the Southern Idaho Conference Championship. GA MES AND SCORES C. of I ......... 90 Gooding College ...... ..

We want to thank the second team for this year's work and hope all will be out next year, with others, to help make next season even more suc- cessful than 'the past one. At the head stands Coach Cleaver. Although a business man, he is such a fan that he always finds time to come up and give the second team a knowledge of the game. We are certainly indebted to Coach Cleaver for his help. b LINE-UP McLaughlin fCaptainj Bushong Boal Conrad Parks Wilcox Robertson Ba'QeS Hartkopf Smlth Welsh Chaney Rice R. Hansen Miller
