He was found at quarter and end, and was al- ways in the game. Altho on two occasions, scarcely able to walk because of a sprained ankle, he played the games with characteristic nobility. Trickey, captain for next year, will provide efhcient leadership. This year he played at tackle, working aggres- sively, and could always be depended upon when a tackle around was called. Krieg, who was found at end dur- ing the first four games, was ready at all times to deliver the goods. How- ever, he was forced out of the line-up by a sprained knee, and was greatly missed. Hunter, guard, played a consistent game at all times. He is square in his playing and it is this quality which is of a genuine value in football work. With no opportunity to shine in of- fense, he is one of the strongest linemen filling the guard position in the Hawk- eye Conference. Wall, fullback, played a good all- around game. He has the physique and the determination to win and could be depended upon to run, punt, or to plunge the line. Ganfield, half-back, was always playing like a demon, never shirking his part of the work. In spite of the fact that he is light, he proved to be swift and careful in his discrimina- tions during the game, for which a high compliment is due him. VVood, tackle, was the man who could keep his opponent guessing as to what he was going to do, and always used his toe to an advantage on free ,5M4,g'.z- 5 , X XY XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX ,XX .

VVe say successful, for success does not lie entirely in win- ning games. VVhen a team has gone I thru two successive seasons with only I three points against them, and then, with practically the same men, is able I to win only one game in nine, but still possesses that spirit which was shown I by the boys as the season closed, one I can only say that the season, in the truest sense of the word, has been a I success. The team was unfortunate this year I in having its men crippled. The dis- couragement in football was largely I due to this fact. In many of the games I a shift in the line-up was made at the last minute because of the inability of I some men to play their regular posi- tions. Thus, since so many members I of the the squad suffered from injuries I received thru accident, fate decreed ' that we play a losing game. ' The season opened at Ames against the strongest team scheduled this year. I During a rain and on a wet field the boys lost to the opposing team. In this game weight won, and several of our men received injuries which proved to be so serious that they did not fully re- . cover during the season. I In the other games we met with the A same difliculty. Ellsworth has held the I Hawkeye championship for two succes- sive years, and had the team been in normal condition this year, we would no doubt have won more victories. Each member of the team gave all he had, and was always found fight- ing. 118

He was courageous and at all times was found doing his best. VVatt played center and end with great effectiveness. He proved to be a marvel in taking passes and never did he shirk the responsibility of getting his man. He possessed enthusiasm and played with a vim that brot honor to the team. Albert Trickey, guard, played with such force and determination that he won due recognition from all of his opponents. This is his first year as a member of the team but he worked so efficiently that we are justified in say- ing that he is a man of more than mediocre ability. VViggins, quarter and half-back, played as usual whenever his physical condition permitted him to be in the game. In spite of the fact that he had received many injuries, he was always anxious to enter the game, and could be depended upon to punt, pass, or run ends. Pulis, center, was the man who car- ried the 'fpepv for the team. He was especially fortunate in his tackle work, and never did he shirk any responsibil- ity which presented itself to him. Esslinger, end and half-back, was at all times found playing a consistent game, altho this was his first year of experience. He has the spirit and is capable of doing effective team-work. Mauss, guard, end, and half-back, was found fighting when he had the opportunity of being in the game. At all times he showed great mental as well as great physical strength, in the way he played. I Fanselow end was found to be a Y Y scrapper. He was loyal and did excel-
