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

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

This year he was unanimously elected manager. We all feel certain that he has done his utmost to benefit the team. Between the halves he always had a cheery word for the players. He was ve1'y efficient as a manager and his ability to handle the finances of the team deserves much credit. NlVENfTACKLE Cy made his debut as a football player this year. Agile, fast, and a hard tackler, he won for himself one of the most difficult positions on the team. Ability to move quickly enabled him to break through and throw many opponents for a loss. His absence will be keenly felt. 1 l fGERLI-HALFBACK David came to the varsity from the Junior team, a very consistent line plunger. When any extra yards were needed he could always be called on to secure them. He was a speedy runner. This faculty enabled him to become a fine broken field runner. He will be back next fall and we feel sure that he will be one of the main- stays of the team. No - .is-P29 fi1.....f--.......W. .,... ,M + 'T' Page eighty-two V . f ,AA
