Jim 1933 ' 'VARSITY FOOTBALL REVIEW NE oT The sTrongesT Horace Mann TooTball Teams in recenT years sTruggled Through a mediocre season To show iTs Tull sTrengTh in The Tinal game. WiTh nine leTTer men reTurning Trom The I93I 'VarsiTy and several new sTars on hand, prospecTs were ex- ceedingly hopeTul, buT The Team could noT co- operaTe properly and was deTeaTed in iTs TirsT Two games. In spiTe oT having losT all chances Tor a suc- cessTul season, The eleven redeemed iTselT by win- ning Two oT The remaining Tour games and Tying The oThers. The climax oT The year came in The lasT encounTer, in which The l-l. M. Team crushed lVlcBurney by The score oT 45-O. Joe Vollmer, capTain and sTar back, was The high scorer and leading ground gainer oT The Team. l-Ie did all The Torward passing and was The chieT cog in The running aTTack, despiTe a leg iniury which hampered him mosT oT The season. Along wiTh Bill SylvesTer, sTellar end, Vollmer was chosen Tor The World-Tele- gram's annual all-sTar privaTe school eleven. The oTher regular backs were Ferd Marsik, Al Gross, Eddie Orsenigo, and Rodger l-larrison. lvlarsik was an exTremely TasT runner, especially eTFecTive on end sweeps. Gross was The hardesT Tackler in The back- Tield. The kicking assignmenT was divided beTween Harrison and Orsenigo, The laTTer TransTerring Trom cenTer To quarTerback laTe in The season. On The line Tim PTeiTTer, guard, and Bill SylvesTer, end, did The besT playing. Less specTacular Than PTeiTTer and SylvesTer, buT very de- pendable, was Bewley Warrick, a Tackle. Marvin Buchsbaum, The oTher Tackle, played erracTically. Three players were Tried ouT aT oTher end posiTion, and Jim Couzens Tinally won The berTh Trom Jack BeaTman and Bill O'Brien. The oTher regular guard, Tom Edwards, was handicapped by a leg injury, and did noT play up To his l93I Torm. Sam Pew, who sTarTed The season aT end, Tinally won The cenTer posiTion. fl34f-
