BEARD, ORVILLE, Bud -Fullback The Mountaineers' Battering Ram is the title which describes him well. When a few yards were needed badly, the quarterback knew Bud would make them. BROWN, HILLARD, Brownie -Guard Re-entering the College of Idaho game with a broken finger tells something of the fighting spirit of Brownie. He liked to tackle and knew how to do it. CARDEN, ALLEN, Monk -End Snaring passes and carrying the ball on double reverse plays were Mon'k's specialties. Making life miserable for some safety who was trying to return points was also one of his fa- vorite pastimes. , CRAWFORD, GLENN, ffmjfyff-Tackle Doing his fighting in a cool, efficient way, Tuffy was a hard man to take out of a play, and his offensive work was of high caliber. 1 85 uit' 7 1' 511: ?g 1-Q,g'fQk4C9esxf',Z'53w2?

Ha X t ,, 2 B . KIQIZOA . fff The first E. O. N. football team played through a very successful season. With a small squad of ex-high school players, who had played under various coaches and systems of play, Coach Quinn developed one of the strongest teams in the state. The Mountaineers won four games and tied one out of the six games played for a percentage of .800. This is especially notable in that it brought the State Normal championship to E. O. N., and that two Northwest Conference teams were played and defeated. From the showing E. O. N. made against Enterprise Hi, they were not considered strong, but when the strong College of Idaho team was defeated 19-7, everyone awoke to the fact that the Mountaineers as a team were worth watching. In the next start the Normal was defeated 13 to 7 by the O. S. C. Rooks, but con- sidering the difference in weight of the two teams, the Normal put up a fight worthy of praise. - In the Lewiston game the Mountaineers came from behind to tie the score at 7 to 7, but they were unable to score a second time. Whitman expected to run roughshod over the Mountaineers, and when they took the ball on the kick-05 and ran the length of the field for a touchdown, it looked as if they would run up a one-sided score. But in this game, as in all others, the E. O. N. fought to the finish. When the final whistle sounded, E. O. N. led 20-13. They had out-played and out-scored one of the strongest teams in the Northwest Conference. In the big game of the year with O. S. N., the Mountaineers were up against a team which had established a reputation of being one of the best teams ever turned out at Monmouth. Both teams played good ball, but the Wolves were no match for the inspired Mountaineers, who won the State Normal School championship by a score of 17 to 7. A great deal of the success of the team was due to the efforts of Coach Quinn and the support of the school and town. W Wa fif xSjs pfN7 ta if x,vl'E'f9i. ' ' I 84 g V x as ee e E

E fsmVm'Nelrv3ofsf'w ee xffQEE DEVANEY, FRANK, Dine,--Halfback Not a big man, Dink made up for his lack of weight by his fast shifty style. A very dan- gerous man to opponents in the open field. DOUGERY, CHARLES, Doug -Halfback Line bucks, off tackle smashes, and runs, and bullet-like passes were equally well done by Doug. He is just a very, very good football player. HOUTCHENS, MAX, Max -Center Long of arms, long of legs, and long on fight and lots of ability to diagnose plays- that's Max. Accurate passing was taken for granted when he was in the game. ERWIN, DALE, Dale --Guard A pair of fast legs and the ability to block, made Dale a very valuable man to the team in running interference. He entered several games with a sore shoulder that would have caused lots of men to sit on the bench. , LIEUALLEN, TOM, Tommy -Guard Tommy, though new at the game, absorbed a lot of football knowledge and before the season was over, did some nice work. He will be a valuable man next year. S6 b Q1 faifig Xs s pfS77 E
