Metz. Colson. Miller. Nordstrom. EDWIN METZ “Eddie” Center “Eddie played a bang up game at center this year, being transferred from guard. He was new at that position but lie played center like he had played it all his life. He was an accurate passer and a bard-bitter on both offense and defense. That ankle of “Eddie’s made lots of us moan every time that it was twisted. ()U ENTI N COI.SON “Quinr Yu 11 back When he got started toward the center of the line. Bang! Crash! Bend! Break! And there was Colson down there a couple of yards or maybe a couple of chalk- marks, with none, or some, or all of the opposition hanging on. It didn't seem to make much difference how many there were. Speaking of locomotives demolishing automobiles, well— ALBERT MILLER “Hert” Guard A really mean guard, who doesn't say much or get into many spectacular plays, but many were the plays that Miller stopped during the season. He was about the most concentrated package of dynamite in these parts. Although he had an injured shoulder most of the season he was out to the field every night. RAUL NORDSTROM “Swiss” Half and Full Some of us wondered if our basketball captain could play footfall. He showed us all that he had seen a football before, in fact, he looked like his folks gave, him one for bis first birthday. He was a sweet hall carrier and when he wrapped his hand around that pigskin. Oh my! The opposing team’s coaches always coached their teams on passing defense all the next week.

Rock. Kistlcr, Lichlitcr. Petersen. CAPTAIN-ELECT VADEN ROCK “Rocket” Tackle Coming back as captain of next year's team, much is expected of “Rocket. lb is a big man and a smashing tackle if there ever was one. He is one of the kind that make the opposing half wonder who took the brakes off that box car. “Rocket” was on the final end of many passes and he snagged them too, counting yards and yards on them, lie will be a real leader for the 1928 Warrior eleven. LUTHER KISTLER “Luler” Guard A brother to “Big-Bad-Bill of last year and he seems to be able to keep up the family reputation. He played, a whale of a game at either guard o rtackle. Was about as hard to get through as one of Prof. Gimmestad s semester examinations. This was “Luker’s” second year on the team and he has another one left. STUART LICHLITER “Lick” End “Lick” was switched from half to end and he soon decided to show them that he could stop them as well as go through them. He snagged a number of passes during the season and accounted for a lot of Midland's yardage. The pass he snagged at Doane almost won the game, but not quite; now it was a pretty nice catch and run. WALTER PETERSEN “Little Pete” Quarter A fighting little quarter from Grand Island. He hit them just as hard in practice as he did in a game. Had tin pep to keep the team going at topi speed all of the time. Was handy on his little quarter sneak and every now and then In went around the end for several yards. He was a heady and consistent player and he is only a freshman. Page Eight)-five

Peterson, Quelle. I vers. ALTON PETERSEN Big Pete” End “Hard-luck-Pete. If il wasn't one shoulder it was the other. Injuries were his jinx, hut lie always cracked 'em, no matter how big they were. “Pete'' hit ’em too hard, always thinking that unless his own teeth were falling out, he wasn’t hitting them so they could even feel it. He'll be back and we are looking forward — CARL QUELLE Dutch Guard Always ready, ‘ Dutch played a real game when he was called on. Whenever a ball carrier got past him they had to get a couple or three others to boost him over “Dutch's head and few there were who got back there, lie is only a sophomore so we expect a lot from him before he leaves us. WILLIAM IVERS Bill” Tackle Another freshman from Grand Island who proceeded to show us all that they make 'em tough out in G. I. “Bill” used to lay the other end, or tackle, or guard, or all three of them down and play Liza crossing the ice on their backs. He didn't get to play all the time but showed the old Warrior spirit when called on. He has three more years with us and should do wonders. GILBERT BRAYTON “Gib” Half and Quarter Fremont high contribution and how it did help out. “Gib was one of the best interference men on the team—an exceptionally good passer a punier and a hard- hitting line smasher. In fact, “Gib was a triple threat man if there ever was one. He and “Snuss shot those posses so hard that the ends began to wonder where the boys borrowed the cannons. Page Eighty-seven
