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

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.

SEASON RESUME It will ho noted that the individual achievements of the members of the teams have been left out of the game summaries. This was done intentionally, because it is too often that one individual gets credit when it is due, in just as great measure to another who inconspicuously did his part making the play successful. The team played as a team and when a beautiful run was made it was because the whole team, eleven men. not one. were in the thick of the play. Partiality and individual achievements have their place, and should not he carried into the games. Kvery man on the squad did the best he knew how, all the time, and by doing this made the Warrior team feared by all. not as a few brilliant stars, but as a well- rounded team. Midland 0 Still 7 Opening the season with a non-conference game with Still College of Osteopathy, l)es Moines, la.. Coach Catlin's Warriors showed that they would he a team that would be greatly feared later in the year. The game was a very interesting one, with both sides playing about the same caliber of football. The only score of the game was made when the “Boncsetters intercepted a Midland pass and thus got into such a position that they were later able to score. This score was made late in the game, in fact had it been made earlier, or had there been more time left, the score might have been different. The Warriors rallied and were on their way to a touchdown when the final gun sounded, and so the score that goes down on the books is Midland 0. Still 7.
