This is the second yearthat Coach Moyer has been with us. We hope that he may coach the boys to victory next year, because the ooys have grown to treat him as a brother. They like the earnest spirit with which he Works. I am sure if he is with us next year, that under his generalship the state championship will be ours. We are very fortunate this year in having some of our old stars returned from the army and navy to help us give our opponents a good wailloping. Among them is Earl Pete Walters who has, in almost every game, outplayed his man, and, through his ability to catch forward passes, and by the free use of his toe on the pig- skin he has been a prominent feature in the success of our team. John Handstroin wanted to scrap for East High so bad that he came all the way from Siberia. The success with which he has thrown forward passes and punted the pigskin, connected with his hard smashing against the line, has succeeded in giving East High the long end of the scores. Floyd Yencer and Richard Wallerstedt have also been playing a goodgame for East High in the backneld. We surely hate to miss these fellows next year, but this is their last year and they have been playing a good game for East High. Another fellow who has been a good game is Floyd Hiblos. He has been holding down the position of tackle, and has not received as much credit as he has deserved, because he didn't have afny chance to make gains by carrying the ball, but instead, he was one of the fellows who made the holes in the opponents line and gave our backfield a chance to malke their long gains. He invariably held his man and gave the team strong interference. Irvin Mc- Conkey playing right end has also been an important factor in Easts victories. He like Pete Walters, has been able to make long gains by nabbing forward passes. These ex-soldiers and sailors together with the other men of the team, have succeeded in winning six out of the seven games they have played, and also have managed to run up a score of 171 to 17. I don't believe that any East High team in the past has been able to beat that record. We regret to lose some of our players, but from the work of the second team it looks as though we will have men to take their places, Page Twenty-three:

1. - R rv OYAL Hibbs, captain of ouv eleven, makes an able assistant to Mr. Moyer. He is a veteran of last season and was elected calptain because of his brilliant playing and also because ofgeniality. He has a smile on his face most of the time but when he plays he goes in to Win or fight all thetirne, even in a losing game. From appearances he goes in to 'get the other fellow but ,he always plays an clean game. Page Twenty-four
