HE 1917 football squad was under the leadership of a man of rare ath- ' letic ahility. Eddie first distinguished himself as an athlete while at.- fypfal tending North High and came to Highland in the fall of 1915, where 1 fl, he played his sm college football. In this year he played on the Freshman squad and made it with but little difficulty, playing the position of halfback. He was very speedy and always hit the line like a demong if there was any opening, Eddie was right through. ' He was a sure tackler. One example of his good work at tackling was in the Grinnell game, when he chased down their fast man, Augustine, and prc- vented him going over for a touchdown. His finest work was in running the end, as he was a great deal faster than his opponents. In the fall of 1916 he made the varsity squad and played the position of half- back. This year, as well as in 1915, he was under the direction of one of the finest football coaches in the state, Mike Hyland, an Iowa City star. In 1917 he was under Coach E. M. Brown from Morningside.
