F ootball HE team of 1922 began practice two weeks before sehool started, and it was at this time that the candidates for the team became acquainted with their new coach, Mr. Walke. There was plenty of material waiting for him. about seventy Inen in all, but few of them were veterans whom he COlliti use as a nucleus around which to build a team. The men started earnestly to work, and before long a team of no mean ability was developed under the elose scrutiny of Coach Walke. This year, contrary to local custom, East scheduled games in the early part of the season. with some of the strongest teams in central and southern Ohio. The reason for this being that if we could but make a good showing against these strong elevens in the early part of the season, the valuable experience gained would help us greatly when we later met the eity teams in championship contests. How well this new order of things worked is now a matter of history, but we paid an exorbitant price for our tinal victory. In the very first games we lost two of our stars, Butterfield and Bray, both of whom suffered such severe injuries as to keep them out of the line-up for the balance of the season. Thus handi- capped, we lost the first few games of our schedule. After these reverses in the early part of the season, the team ufound itself,H and displayed the true gtiger spiritt, by defeating Walnut Hills High in the first game of the scholastic championship series. The week following, East triumphed over its dearest rival, Hughes, in one of the most thrilling and exciting games of the year, thereby paving the way to the championship. which the team clinched a few weeks later by overwhelming Woodward High School in the final game of the season. The team, throughout the year, under Coach VValkets supervision, developed many outstanding figures. In the backfield, Coleman, Wohlwender, Hand, Rippey, and Beck formed one of the classiest combinations seen in this part of the country. Bauer, Cholmondeley, Woods. and Flagge were ends hards to beat in either receiv- ing passes, blocking in end runs, or covering punts. McCall, McCarthy. and Peterson were towers of strength at the tackle positions; time after time they broke up the opposing teanfs plays by their quick and heady work. At the guard positions were Greene, Grad, and Brooke, who could not be surpassed in breaking through the opponentis line. And last, but by no means because he is least, comes Richard Glazier, who. as acting captain during the most important games of the season, handled the team with consummate skill, and discharged the duties of his position at center with u neatness and dispatch which often confounded the opposing teamts attack.
