1.2343 The 1 192.8 f Osoga wax, 'Nil G!ijS dSS15. - - - , g++' JOSEPH KROUT, END Curly was a neat, clean-cut player. His size did not handicap his almost uncanny tackling. Joe always had pluck and nerve which carried him through the games that would have kept many an athlete out. He played a line game this year and his opponents found it a hard job to evade his end. .loe leaves ns this year, but some school will he the luckier. HORACE BLACK, GUARD The line-men do not appear as spectacular as the backiield meng but it is their consistent plodding that makes the attack possible, and that's just what Doc was doing. He was in there working all the time. Wie are sure he will do that kind of work no matter what the task will he. JOHN GANGEMI, FULLBACK Ganga, the happy-go-lucky back-field man. Gauge did not believe in adhering strictly to training routine, hut when he got into a game it was diinfer- ent. This New Yorker sure did pounce on loose halls, and he took the French war-cry, They shall not pass when making a tackle. WILLIAM BUSHNELL, MANAGER .lovial carefree manager and jester of the Orange and Blue outlit. Bill was always telling the boys a new one to cheer up their hard knocks they received: and he was behind the team and Fitting out the boys with the best equipment he could muster up. I-le proved to be a great asset to the boys after the games fixing up dates for the team. NELSON WISEMAN, TRAINER XVhenever a had sprain, charley horse, or anything of that description was suffered, Doe was always there on the spot, and it is to him that we owe much of our teamys good condition. Every night in the week Doc was working until after midnight, and it was not only a hard job hut a great sacrihce on the part of Max. x-gf f 3 u sv 73 Ea
