Headed by one of the best coaches in high school lootball today. Dal VVard, Marshall had no worries in that department. Cully Swanson, VVard's assistant, does his iob better than most of tts realize: Cec O'lirien and XValter Chapman have done an No. t iob in supplying Ward with new btit well trained material. livan lones also helped the squad. Marshall should consider itself exceptionally lucky to have this coaching staff. l.et's look at some ol the players and see what they did for their school. llomer Hurd is one who can't be overlooked. He called some of the plays that have been called by Marshall quarterbacks during the last two seasons. Ralph Keethe, Hurd's alternate will be back next year to oller his quarterbacking intelligence. Umpty VVray had plenty to do with leading interference for his team members. Ed White, the 1935 Galloping Ghost of Marshall, may receive full credit for the VVest victory. In the line we had Rosen. Blair, and l.eVoir who were capable of high class line play. The latter two will be back in IQ-26. Vity center by the third p.tper. l'htl made the lirsr team on all three of them.

It might be interesting for you to know what he thinks about this job. so I am going to quote one of hrs state- ments. This is what he said, Maybe you don't think that's some job playing center and calling signals at the same time. You have to do three things' call the right play, center the ball to the right player. and take out the right man on the League lor the season ol 1035. lle was the utility mart of the Marshall squad. Phil played center. guard. end, and quarterback: and he was equally good at all four posts.

At that game were many fans besides th' trsual Marshall Iollowers. 'lihey saw this sensational sophomore pl.ty ball. and that .recounts lor part ol the fact Kirlchrrst is so well known throughout the city. Many outsiders got a look at him th.tt day. aml when they found out the Darling of that football garne had two more vears of prep loothall, they began to lol- low him. So for the last two seasons the lans have watched Bill hetome an flllffity hallback. XVhat goes to make an All-Lily halliback? Well for one thing. he mttsl be a gootl kicker. lie mtrst be able to run, block, and pass. Gilchrist hatl these four necessary things at his command whenever he wanted to use them. 'lhere hasrt't been a better kicker and passer in the l.eagtte for the last two years than llrg llrll. Sure he was an equal to any other hackneld man in running .tnd blocking. llis blocking and kicking alone should have put htm on the All-City team in IUX4, but the local papers had to keep their ctrstorners on the other side of town as well as those rn South- east. And so with the January graduation class, Mar- shall will loose another All-Qity star in the per- son of Bill Gilchrist. Twenty-three

Bud Koefod Bud Koefod was one of the best all-round ends in the race last season, llis playing was guilty of few faults. Bud was what may be called a regular player. In every game he offered nothing but his very best. which in his case was outstanding. His alertness was a great factor in every Marshall game. and he was seldom fooled by tricky plays on the part of his opposing players, One of Cfentral's best plays was a spinner play. The hall was snapped to one halfback. who carried the hall for a few feet, stopped, turned half way around, handed the ball to the other halfback who was supposed to run around the end. This is the play that Cfentral had used so successfully against other high schools. Bat Karina brain- up this play more than ance. You'll have to admit that this is indeed a hard play to gauge at the start, but Bud had his eyes open. Of course this is only one of the many things that Koefod did while he wore a Nlarshall foot' ball suit. but it points out what kind of an end Koefod was. XVhen Koefod leaves Marsliall, Dal Vv'ard will have to look for many ends before he Will Hnd a player capable of playing the high class ball Bud did. There we have another All-City End leaving a hard record for his followers to equal. Bill Kuusisto a different position each year, he has been All- City twice, and he has another year to play. NVho is the young gentleman? Why, that's All-City Bill, Bill is one fellow who had the honor of being an All-City football player when he was a B sophomore. lle's just a natural born football player. Twenty-two A Review of the l935 Marshall Football Team THE SEAsoN's SCORE CARD Marshall ll' Austin 6 Marshall Ztl West l 3 Mazshall ll XVashburn T lklafghnll U tieutral ' Marshall ll South O Marshall tn Fdison ' Marsha'l fl Roosevelt lf Marshall ll North ll Four victories, two ties, and two defeats was Marshalls record in football last season. The past season offers a perfect illustration of how a fine team can go down if injuries come to a few of its main players. I am referring to end Len Andreson, who at the beginning of the season was making high bids for All-City honorsg Iohn Field, who was a big block in the middle of a forward wall, and Iocketty and Urho Kuusisto, two aids in moving the Pig-Skin to victory. All these were kept from their top form because of injuries. ln 1934 Bill went out for football with the rest of his pals. lie said, he went out just be' cause the rest of the fellows did, Bill thought the A squad could use him for blocking practice, justice. The second time in a row Bill made the All-City team, lle is more than just a football player. but Dal soon found out the only place for him was on the First eleven of the A squad. He played guard last year, and there is no use wast- ing space telling you how well he kept his post, because you all know that. 1935 season came and with it came the need of a good tackle. Bill was given the job, and certainly did the job Next year Bill will he captain of our football team. lfrom all predictions the new captain is to play in the backfield. If the future can be judged by the past, there is an excellent chance of this modest hero becoming All-City man for the third time. Good luck, Captain Bill, and many running touchdowns.

Hurd Captains '36 Cage Squad Three letter winners, Hurd, Teeter, and Iocketty, form the nucleus for a fairly strong ball club for Marshall for this season. Under the leadership of the new coach, Walter Chapman, they are progressing rapidly. Chappy,' brings a new style of play to Marshall that seems to have made a hit with the players. Coach Chapman played basketball for the University of Minnesota seven years ago. He has had several years' coaching experience at Appleton, Minnesota, where he turned out championship teams. Homer Hurd was unanimously elected captain before the Hutchinson game. Homer has four years' experience and should be high point man for his team in every game. Phil Teeter, burly guard, one of the three returning lettermen, holds down one of the guard posts. Phil has improved a great deal over last year's form and should make more than a few buckets during the coming season. The third returning veteran, Ioe Iocketty, is very much in the race for the remaining guard position. Henry, The Wonder Child, Thompson is the outstanding candidate for the center post. Hank', stands 6 foot 1, is an accurate shot and a fairly good ball handler. With a little more experience Henry will develop into a first rate center. Manny Rosen is valu- able in that he can play either forward or center. Manuel is a sturdy lad standing 5 foot IO inches and weighing well over 200 pounds. He is an accurate shot under the basket and controls rebounds well. Don Ward, smallest player on the squad, is the sparkplug of the team. His hght and drive are remarkable for a fellow his size. In pre-season games Steve Kozek has paired with Phil Teeter at guard. He is a strong passer and a good in-shot. Marv Freeburg is bidding for a center or forward position. He stands a little over six feet and is a good shot. Art Chiodo and Dick Brohaugh are two of the hardest workers on the squad. Dick has everything but a little experience. He is developing rapidly and is making a serious bid for a first string position. Art Chiodo is a promising sophomore. 'fChuck Price is an outstanding candidate for a forward post. He has height and is handy under the basket. Lawrence Gersdorf is making a strong bid for a guard position. He is a strong defense man but lacks experience. The team was deprived of the services of Bill Gilchrist and Edgar White by mid-year graduation. These two boys were both fast and were accurate shots. Gilchrist was the best long shot in the city last year and would have improved considerably. White's speed and aggressiveness would have made him invaluable to the team had be been eligible. Coach Chapman states, The boys are noticeably weak on defense and on certain points of the offense. They are bound to improve as the season progressesf, Twenty-four
