SKETCH BOOK -Q2 x.. 6 RICHARDS-GUARD Although rather small and light for guard position Jim surprised all by his playing. He was a clean, hard-working player. His ability on the defense was most commendable. We know that he will prove a great aid to the team of 1927. . I , FORREST-HALFBACK Gyp was only a mediocre halfback who was shifted to end as an experiment in the last game. He was found to be a very clever wing-man. His tackling' was sure and hard. He was kept out of two of the earlier games on account of injury and his absense was keenly felt. It will be difficult to find as capable a man as Forrest next year. DEISROTH-END Bob was another light man. Al- though he was light he delivered the goods. He also played in the back- field and proved equally able to per- form either duty. As a halfback he is a sure hard tackler and a good plung- er. As a wing-man he is a speedy runner and an accurate pass receiver. ' He will be here two more years show- y ing how to play football. l fa l XR.-'P-va. -w..,,,,,,,,,.,n,. ,, Y ,,f',.j Page eighty

, .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

Very few plays went past this man. Although not extreme- ly heavy he Wade up for his lack of weight by grit and fight. ,,, U 1,-f','j:Tl':i7 A , s fx.: '7 CORBETTWHALFBACK Morg is the hard hitting type of backhknees high, head low and plow! His punts are the high spirals that make the spectators gaze in wonder. When Corbett tackles a runner the man is down to stay. Morg will be back again next year and with more experience he should develop into one of the best backs ever wear- ing- the Maroon. BROWNELL-END Fuzzy being- shifted to end from quarterback found it 'hp little difficult to acquaint himself with his new pos- ition, but as the season progressed he could always be called on to enter the fray in case of emergency. We are sorry to lose him as Bart is a clean player and a hard worker. , A Page eighty one i
