100 T-HE MEDI-LLITE , . 4- SOCCER TEAM . it if' The Medill Soccer Team did not win the city championship this year, but nevertheless succeeded in adding glory to Medill by-I making itself dangerous to every team in the league. .,,,9, Handicapped by having only two veterans left from last ,years squad, the Maroon and White proceeded to make a long, desperatefigiht for the section pennant. A few practice games were held which enabled coach Center to become more acquainted with his material. Following this the team made an inauspicious start of the season, tying Lane by the score of 1-1. Lake View, an aggressive opponent, then defeated Medill, 1-0, after which we tied Crane, an ancient rival, by the score of 0-O. The Maroon and White aggregation then opened up with a bang. With a spurt that could not be checked, we defeated Schurz, 3-0. Be- ginning our second round, we met Lane 'again-and this time emerged victorious, 1-0. Lake View, now the league leader, was our next oppon- ent. Fighting as they had never before, the Medill booters beat their way to victory, and when the final whistle blew, led their somewhat heavier antagonists by the score of 2-1. This put us but one point behind first place, and so strong were our hopes for a championship that for the first time in years a pep meeting was held to spur on a Medill team. But all ourhopes were in vain: for in our next game, played against Crane, which was deemed a weak team, our boys were overconfident, and as a result ended the game in a dead-lock, 0-0. Disheartened, the Medill aggregation dropped its last, game, 1-0, to Schurz.

THE MEDILLITE' H 101 Mazur was stellar goal-keeper, and featured many a game with his miraculour stops, He was selected by. almost every newspaper critic for the all-city team. Graduated in February. Rotstein and Schrote, though an in-experienced pair of full-backs, disposed of their positions very capably. Neither will be back next year. ln Capt. Pozen, Deitsch, and Fierstein, Medill had a trio of :half-backs rivalled by few in the city. Capt. Pozen, especially, was the mainstay of the team, and both he and Deitsch were given positions on many all-city teams. Fierstein is the only half-back remaining for next year. Sandler, Ziff, Roskin, Stutland, and Serlin formed a brilliant forward line. Serlin occasionally was supplanted by Burg Frauman at left end. Roskin. Sandler, and Frauman will be back lighting for Medill next year. Waller Rabinovitz substituted in various positions and helped do their bit. However, they are leaving Medill this year. Protus, a really line goal-man was unable to play in league games because Mazur was ably filling this position. . ' - Ben Mazur ....... ........... G i Ben Rotstein ............. .......
