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.

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

Midland 0 H eslcyan 0 Jusi another game on the gridiron for Midland with its old rival, Wesleyan, and just another game that ended as many before it have ended. A scoreless tie —so history repeats itself. It seems that a black shrouded figure follows the Warriors in their conflicts with the Coyotes and this jinx remained with them this year. Although outplaying tin Coyotes in every phase of the game the Warriors were unable to push over a touchdown. With the ball on the one foot line and three downs to put it over a Warrior back fumbled and Wesleyan recovered. The best chance of the game shot, as well as the first football victory over Wesleyan in Midland history. The final score was Midland 0, Wesleyan 0. Midland 6 Doanc 10 This game marked the first conference defeat of the season for the Warriors. There was no team in the state, with the possible exception of Chadron. which could be classed in the same plane with the team from Doane. The Tigers were big and they were also good. I'he Warriors were somewhat handicapped by injuries, there being li e regulars out. An intercepted pass made by a Midland end followed b a beautiful run. counted for the six points in the score column. The defenses of the two teams were head and shoulders above the offenses of either. Doane had the championship team of the conference, and they earned the victory, but in going to defeat, the Warriors did so gloriously. The game ended, Midland 6. Doane 10.
