EARL Tf VERA F. B. Tovcra has played almost all of the eleven places on the football team daring his four years at Wesleyan. This season he was placed at full after injuries kept Ballew out of the game and in this position played a hard, heady game. EDWARD WAHL L. G. Wahl’s weight, strength and fight have been his big assets during his football career. His last year as a member of a Wesleyan football machine found him working harder than ever. He will be greatly missed when the call for football men is made next September. JOHN LODWICK L. H. B. John answered the call for volunteers after the second team had been driven onto the rocks. Altho a new man at the game he displayed wonderful ability. His playing in the Christian game was excellent.

JAY HUNTER R. H. B. Hunter was the fastest man on the squad and as a consequence his forte was getting under forward passes and running interference. He was out the latter part of the season because of injuries. If it had not been for this fact he would have taken his place among Wesleyan’s best halt’s. HAROLD GOOCH L. E. Gooch and the coach hail from the same town, which fact may account for the amount of work Hcidt was able to get out of Gooch during the past season. Harold is one of the men on the squad who has football in his head as well as in his feet and hands. He is strong on offense and on defense frequently gets around and gets the man with the ball before he is well started. HARRISON BARKER R. G. Many predicted that Barker’s rest during the 1914 season would make him forget all of his football knowledge, but instead it seemed to give him more fight than ever. He was always on the job and altho playing hard all of the time, was seemingly immune from injury.

DEE THOMPSON L. H. B. Altho a new man in Wesleyan football circles Thompson early proved his worth as a back field man. The wealth of material for back field positions kept him from a steady place on the team. He should play a good game next fall. [ RILEA DOE Q. B. Doc is an example of a man who has made a record as a football star handicapped by lack of weight. A little bunch of bone and nerve, he played football with his head and proved a field general of exceptional ability. His injuries at the close of the season kept him out of two or three games. GLENN GRANT R. H. B. ‘Teaser’ was the hardest worker on the team and will be greatly missed from the eleven next fall. He had a knack of finding holes and going thru them with little ceremony. In the last game of the season he made three touchdowns after runs from beyond the twenty-yard line.
