. ,, . , ,ssmwa i . y FOOTBALL SQUAD OF 1925 Captain Kenneth Rundall-Right Tackle. This was Rundall's last year to play football for Marengo. Through- out the season he proved to his teammates that they had not acted un wisely in choosing him Captain. In addition to calling the plays, Run- dall always played a brilliant defensive game at right tackle. His posi- tion will be hard to fill next year. A - Walter Schoenfelder-Fullback Shaney was probably the hardest hitting man in the backfield. Whenever a gain was needed through the line, you could give the pigskin to Shaney and know that he wouldn't stop till he was down. His loss will be felt next year. Ora Stockton-Center. Another man who played his last year of football for Marengo is Ora Stockton. He was our tall and lanky center, who threw passes to the backfield with deadly assuracy. Lysle Kenney-Halfback. This being Kenney's first year of football, it took him a while to get into the swing of it. Kenney always delighted in fooling his opponents by making a line smash from punt formation, He played a good game defensively and offensively, so we expect great things from him in foot- ball before he graduates.

- .arm FOOTBALL TEAM OF 1925 Athletics at M. H. S. Athletics play an important part in the Marengo High School. When -properly directed, athletics promote a spirit oi' true sportsmanship, honest and integrity. Marengo desires all her athletes to be true sports- V men and gentlemen, and if all athletics can be permeated by such noble ideals what can be finervthan to have a group of boys Whose character 'll be molded along these lines by participating in athletics? May this wi always be the primary consideration at Marengo, rather than the mere thought of winning the greatest possible number of victories. mere victories and defeats? Who is to measure success by a record of Is not success rather to be measured by improvement? It is in this Way that our athletic success must be measured. Handicapped by lack of a ' h l l bored gymnasium, and by lack of enthusiasm, Mr. Owen nevert e ess a f 'thfully to make his teams come through, and by combining his know- ai ledge of athletics With patience and earnest zeal, he has laid the founda- H' d rd tion for, what promises to be. a banner year in all sports. is stan a of fair play and eternal fight has given the class of 1926 full reason for cherishing him in their memory. -R.A.W.

lrwin Zahrt-Halfback. Our speedy little halfback was Zahrt, who was good at breaking up passes and gaining ground when given the bail. He was responsible for many of our long end runs by his aggressive interference. Carrol McC1ivern-Quarterback. Though lacking in size, he made up for this in speed. He was a con- sistent ground gainer and a good open field runner. Another year of football should bring results from him. George Edwards-Guard Although a green player, Grange showed great possibilities. The experience he gained t-1is year should help him a great deal next fall. Edwin Fesler-Tackle. Due to his weight, Fesler was able to hold his own against most of his opponents. He was not speedy but mighty. With a little more ag- gressiveness next year, he will be heard from. Lorirner Denzler-Guard. This was Denzler's first year in football. I-le showed great form in the line and with a little more experience, should make a valuable man. Carl Pelzer-End Pelzer, by his effective punting, saved many yards for his teammates to go. His ability to nab passes also netted gains. He will be back to help the team .next year. Wilford Howlett-End. What Shorty lacked in size, he made up in grit and fight. He showed by his pluck that it isn't always size that counts. He will be hack again next year. Adrian Ware-End Another small man that showed he had the fight. Although acting as sub most of the time, he showed the nrooer soirit bv sticking it out fill the end of the season. The experience he gained should helo to get him a regular place next year. Charles Vaughn-Halfback Charles was one of our best men. but due to ininries. he had to lay off football for the ffrearvf mfr of the reason. Thovwh he was a little' slow. his aggressiveness helped him through many a tight place. James Cummings-End James was a new man this year, but he soon showed that he had the ability to learn footbell. We hone he stays with us next year. Charles Fels-Manager As a football manager, Charlie ranks among the best. He was al-
