□ a E0THE jEOLIAN 1921 OE o □ f - ■ ■ ' —» o a STACK—Captain-Elect— “Mike” played his first year of football. Proved successful at right half. His ability to hit the line hard and pick passes out of the air resulted in many touch¬ downs. He has another year to play. ALFORD— “Runt” (our little boy?) played a great game as guard. Was good at getting through the line and spill¬ ed a bunch of plays. He used his 204 pounds very successfully. But — he is another Senior. BONNETT—• “Kenney” played a stellar game at right end. Very few plays went around him and he pulled down many passes. EARNER— “Dan” was always right there. Played a wonderful defensive and offensive at both guard and tackle. He sure liked to muss ’em up. ■ C r Page Twelve

I PTHE AEOLIAN 1921 H I a □ — ■ o □ THE BRYAN GAME muddy field. Garrett kicked -off and Bryan, by a series of line plunges, made a touchdown within the first five minutes. Garrett then began to fight. In the second period, Garrett by some smashing plunges, carried the ball across for a touchdown. An onside kick was admirably executed but the umpire would not allow it. By line plunges and off tackle smashes, another tochdown was made. The third quarter ended 13-6 in favor of Garrett. During the final period the ball zig zagged up and down the field. Several times, time was called because of bruised players. The game ended with a 13-6 victory for Garrett. This victory was due, not only to the stellar work of several players, but also to the fine teamwork displayed throughout the game. The only time the Maroon and Blue suffered a defeat was at Warsaw, and then by a very narrow margin. This defeat was due to the muddy field, over-confidence, and the failure to watch the ball instead of the men. Warsaw used the Minnesota shift to a good advantage and the quarter-back ran his team well. Several times in the last quarter, Garrett was within scoring distance but was so severely penalized that the ball was lost in downs. The last part of the game was played in darkness and the time was shortened. The remaining games were played at home against Bluffton and Hicks- ville. The Bluffton game was much better than the score would indicate and was hard fought from start to finish. Their team was well supplied with brawn but was greatly hampered by experience. However they never gave up. The Hicksville game on Thanksgiving Day was played in the rain and deep mud. Both teams were strong on the offensive but weak on the defensive. Garrett came out at the long end of a 20-0 score, which made the home crowd happy. This season the team was able to offer better games to the home crowd than in any previous year. Of the eight games played, four were played at home and these happened to be the best games. These games were well attended, which enabled us to keep out of debt. The crowd was also courteous to the visiting players which did much to create better sportsmanship. The teams were ably coached by Clark Springer, who gave his time and ideas, which aided greatly and helped to produce a winning aggregation. The players must not be left out, for they went out for practice every day for three months, not just when they felt like it, but always. Sometimes it was hot and dusty, often cold and rainy, and the field nicely covered with black, sticky mud. This refers not only to the first team, but to the second team as well, who took many drubbings in order that they might produce a strong eleven. In closing we wish to thank “Our Coach,” all the patrons of our team, and the high school for the support and encouragement which they so readily gave us. Page Eleven

□ OTHE jEOLIAN 1921 O s a □ HATHAWAY— This was “Don’s” third and last year. Played a fine game at guard and tackle and always held the line. MOUNTZ— “Jimmie” played a great game at tackle. He busted up a good many plays and opened up the holes. ROAN— “Pete” was our star quarter-back, was an excellent passer and a great open field runner. Pete’s hobby was carrying back punts to mid- field. We’re sorry, but graduation claims Pete this year. STEWARD— Paul played a consistent game at left end. He was there in break¬ ing up the opponents and man¬ aged to break up a number of passes. □ Page Thirteen
