E. W. BECK BECK Coach Our athletic coach, who turned out exceptionally good teams from what many coaches would have termed bone-headed trash, besides having sick head- aches and nervosity. Mr. Beck has the ability to work out of nothing a bunch of players that can make the best teams in the state sit up and take notice. HUBERT PHENICIE ssCAI399 Left Half Cap, being the one veteran in the backiield, was shifted to quarter the first part of the season, but later held down his old position. During the sea- son his off'-tackle smashes, jaunts through a broken field and accurate passing kept our opponents guess- ing. By Hubert's gradua- tion we lose a faithful trainer, a heady player and our most consistent ground gainer during his three years on the team. Weight 147. EPHRAIM CLOUD f-BPH Left End The man at the receiv- ing end of the majority of Cap's successful Hips was our reliable left end. Eph was a versatile defen- sive player. His ability to solve the plays of the of- fense enabled him to stop many end runs before they were well started. Rarely was he boxed, many times did he tackle a man from behind, and his half always had aid in breaking up passes. Eph was always on the jobg he would rath- er play football than eat. Weight, 135. Senior. CARROLL DUNLAP DUN N IE Quarterback Carroll enjoys the dis- tinction of having worked three years to make the team, a record of which he may well be proud. Forced to sub last year by two star ends, he came out again with all the pep in the world, and our need of a quarter gave him the long looked for opportu- nity. Carroll is the first Manchester player to re- turn punts as coached, and rare indeed were the times when he failed to return the pigskin from ten to twenty-five yards. Weight, 142. Senior. QF 13 TOM NORRIS TOO-GOOD Center Tom never engages in any exercise more strenu- ous than PIG, but even there he learned the maxim, I pass. His passing enabled us to use the open formations to good advantage. In the Thanksgiving game Tom was observed stopping the man with the ball by means of one finger, Brocks' attenuated frame, reposing on Thomas' pedal extremities. Weight, 152. Senior.

His first game was viewed from a muddy field with a few Epworth players trying to trample him in the mud. As the season progressed the gains through our cen- ter diminished until Inde- pendence made but one fu- tile attempt in the final game. Fight was Her- bert's middle name and German was his training. Need we say more? Weight, 145. Senior. EDW. BROCKMEIER BROCK Left Tackle To the M. H. S. fans Brock needs no introduc- tion. Little shivers of de- light chased one another up their spines when six feet two of bone, muscle and nerve dropped back of the line five yards, only to snuggle the pigskin next his heart and return some ten or more yards through the opposing line. No line was too strong for him to break through on defense, while fake plays tried around his end were, with the aid of Eph, made to look like stuff from the shrubbery league during a world's series. Weight, 182. Junior. Captain elect. CARL HANSEL SHEENEY Right Guard A sub last year, Carl made good from the start. A man who will always do his best is an asset to any team, and both our guards come in that class. Carl carved a niche in the hall of fame in local football circles when he stopped Oelwein's center and thus did much to insure' victory in that contest. Weight, 152. Junior. RENAN BARCLAY Fullback Renan had no nickname, but we think his middle name is Fight, The lightest and fastest man on the squad, he was also the hardest to stop, for he never knew when he was down. With Renan's re- moval to Hart, Michigan, Manchester lost and Hart gained a player with true football spirit, a boy who overcame all handicaps through hard work and in- tense application to the business at hand. Weight, 130. Q33 .K :- Q9 CLYDE LUSK TUBBY Right Tackle Clyde is a fitting team- mate to the best tackle in northeastern Iowa. His long off-tackle smashes, ability to scoop the ball from the air and his con- sistent work on defense make him a valuable man. A weak knee handicaps Clyde after he gets loose, yet in spite of that he got 'away at West Union for a forty-yard run. Weight, 169.
