THE 1919 CROAKER j ; HASELTINE R. H. B. Pete is a speedy little half, who before coming to Wesleyan hailed from Ottumwa High. He has been the spectacular player of the season. With a faster backfield which will be ours next season, Pete will be accredited with still more touchdowns than he registered this year. WEIR R. G. Weir has just 245 pounds to control, and he does it well. In the Simpson game, his playing was so noticeable that, though six different men were pitted against him, he continued to tear big holes through the line, our backs taking advantage of them. He will come back stronger than ever next year. LONG Long is a sticker. He continued to come out for scrimmage the entire year, making the regulars at the close of the season. Long will no doubt be among the regulars next fall.
