sary instruction in the football line, but they were also instrumental in bringing about a spirit of cooperation and good sportsmanship that did more for the squad than anything else. Each player worked his hardest for the team and the school, and did not seek after individual recognition. The Saints could never have overcome their traditional rivals, the Panthers, if it had not been for this attitude. It made for additional enthusiasm among the spectators as well as encouraging the players themselves. Although most of the members of this year's team are graduating, the outlook for a successful season next year is anything but dark. Several factors should aid in bringing about another typical Saint team. Ralph Gray has spent much time with the Juniors this year and he has found many prospective stars among them. These same Juniors have profited by a short spring football workout, under the guidance of West, Couch, and Captain Pugh. Some of the most promising men who will bid for team places next season are: Hoggan and Murphy of the 1929 first squad; and Sam Bennion, Bud Bennion, Smith, Emery, Ridd, Kerr, Dunford, Clark, Ralphs, Haycock, and Hicks of the Junior squad. In addition, there are a number of clever newcomers who will give the above men a good race for regular positions. And so, with this new material and the same excellent coaching, L. D. 8. should boast of another championship-contending team in nine- teen-thirty. BACKMAN CRAGUN C. BENNION Fullback Tackle Guard mtg 147 186...
