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.

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.

GRANT VENELL L. T. For two years ‘Swede’ has held down the tackle job on the left side of the line and no one has ever questioned his right to the permanent berth. When the other members of the team became bewildered in the Persons game Venell was as cool as a January afternoon and plugged consistently at the Presbyterian defense. SHERMAN OATMAN R. E. Oatman started the season with the first encounter at Coe and had a part in the defeat of Christian University the last of the season. With a little more speed he would be unbeatable as an end man. With two years of football ahead of him he should develop into a master of the game. ROY ANDERSON Q. B. Anderson, erstwhile captain of the Penn College football team, came to Wesleyan at a time when his services could be best appreciated. At the start of the season he was put at center but was later pulled back and placed in a back field position. When Doe was lost to the team because of injuries Anderson was the only logical man for the quarterback job.
