fly .sv pp Q 1, RICHARDSON-CENTER For three years Richie has faith- fully turned out. For two years he has been the pivot man. A clear and quick thinker, he used his avoirdu- pois to good advantage by stopping many opposing player's charges and when a couple of yards were needed the signal would be center rush. This is his last year and it is not necessary to say how much he will be missed. SHEPARD-GUARD HShep entered school late but reported for football practice the same day he arrived. His abil- ity to tackle figured him in nearly every play. This asset, together with his untiring efforts won him many a complimentary word. His loss will leave a big hole in next year's team. 4 AVIGNONE-FULLBACK He fought till the finish. Avy never knew the word Quit. He stop- ped many opponents on end runs and line plunges. He could always be cal- led upon to make any needed yards. He has a clear head and the ability of leadership. Such is the man who has been elected to captain next year's team. All feel certain that his team will be a sucecss. l 4Tli 5f 'il ': -----w..r,. ..... .,....,M--f WY jf Q . i Page seventy-eight .Mg

C UWlNQ.?.l?ET9H 50019 CAPTAIN CARLTON AUSTIN-LEFT END The letter men of last year's football squad certainly made a wise selection when they chose Carl Austin to lead this year's team. He is a clean, hard-working player and one of the best ends that Irving has ever produced. He pos- sesses that excellent quality of leadership and his invincible spirit was infused into all of his men. His pluck and grit were shown in every game of the season. He was one of the most consistent players on the line. Carl proved a most successful Captain and his successor will find it a difficult task to fill his place.

, .IBN1NQ..SKET9HB00K ECKERT-TACKLE At the beginning of the season Al was playing end on the second team. Soon he was seen as a steady on the first team. He had the ability to break through and stop attempted end runs or line plunges. Has absence will be deeply felt next fa 1. ' KLEIN-HALFBACK Dutch playing at halfback was a valuable asset to the backfield. He was a fine drop-kicker, good punter and a forty yard pass was little effort for him. This big triple-threat carried us over many rough places. Very few plays were directed at this tower of strength. He was a leading factor in all our games. We expect to hear from Six- Point in later years. FOLEY-QUARTERBACK Francis was the lightest and small- est man on the team. A more brainy quarterback would be hard to find. A sure tackler, this factor enabled him to win the important position of safety man. He will be back next year aiding in every possible way. l l . if A ,X M f ' 1 QI .455 ,fs-.fa H H Page seventy-nine
