s-. WTOWTOirgpSPWIBiB Q SJ Q.JF Q,U E: Elisha Lyman McLallen, Jr. — Right tackle. Mac, our friend from Indiana, came out for the team this year in opposition to his own wishes. But he was rewarded b) making the team. First he was used at guard but was later shifted to tackle for the better- ment of the team. Mac was fast for a line man, and did good work in his games against Mississippi Re- serves and Tennessee Medicos. His greatest handicap was inexperience, but we are sure he will overcome this fault when he is better acquainted with the game. Page Eleven.

zr Y C T TTC Milton Lyman Knowlton — Left tackle. Knowlton, one ot the tour men of 1910, does not need an introduction to those who have kept in touch with M. IT. S. sporting news. To sa) the least ot Knowlton he is a very valuable man to ha e on any prep-school team. Although he does not pla.) a tlash) ' game which makes the grand stand notice a man tor one game only, still he is a heady consistent placer, always at the right place at the right time. On account ot his consistency Knowlton })roved a great help to the new men in our line; always en- couraging and [)utting new lite into those who thought that they just couldn ' t get through their opponents, or couldn ' t stop the plays of the heavy backs of the enemy; for it must be said that in every game that M. U. S. played in 1911 the} ' M ere outweighed at least twelve pounds to the man. S])ecial mention should be made of Knowlton ' s work in the Mississippi Reserve game. Here he clearh ' showed that he could be counted on to be one of the main- stays of the team. His tackling was hard and accurate, and o])ened up holes large enough to drive a wagon through.

Paul Taylor Rhodes — Riqlit Hjlfbtick. Rhodes, although inexperienced in the liner points of the game, has great prospects for the future. He has all the qualities of a great halfback. He is fleet of foot, and makes his little weight count at all times. With a little more experience he will certainly measure up to the efficiency predicted for him. On otfense Rhodes did all that could have been ex- pected of a halfback under ordinary circumstances. He always made good gains when his interference opened the wa) and with a little more initiative, which will come with experience, Rhodes will certainly make a great halfback. He will return next year, and so will be heard from agam. Page Twelve.
