The interest and enthusiasm shown by students and spectators all through the season put pep and fight into every one of the men up to the final event, and the season ended with one of the finest and most highly developed teams turned out of the school. The influenza hit our team about the middle of the season and broke up our combinations. However, the men came back with re- newed pep and determination and made good reputations for themselves. Next year new faces will appear on the basketball court. These men have had good training and will show up very well. The letter men leaving this year are Earlo Sanders, Rulon San- ders, Herbert Bluck and Louis Olsen. BASKETBALL LETTER MEN Herbert Bluck, Left Guard Earl Jones, Right Guard Earlo Sanders, Left Guard, Capt. Cloris Watts, Left Forward Rulon Sanders, Right Guard Elmer Bacon, Right Forward Lynn Miller, Center Louis Olsen, Center Milton McMillan, Left Forward TRACK The introduction of track and field events in Murray High School has added a new and interesting phase to our athletics. The fact that we have no athletic field renders the playing of baseball impossible. In order that all boys of the school might get spring athletics, a new plan for awards in track and field events has been prepared. The awards com- mittee met and adopted the plan whereby most of the boys in school will be able to participate and get expert instruction. Unlike the system used in most schools of the State, whereby a man must earn points in some meet with another school in order to win his letter, we have decided that letters will be given to boys who reach a certain point of efficiency in any one of the events here coached. This new plan will do away with the system of a coach for ten or twelve of the strongest men, and will give every boy part of the coach 's time. W'e believe this is a step in harmony with the present educational movement and that it will be but a short time before all high schools will adopt some such plan. Boys will be given letters if they are able to make the following rec- ords in the events named below: 100-yard dash, 11 seconds 220-yard dash, 25 seconds. 880-yard dash, 2 minutes. One-mile, 4.5 minutes. Pole vault, 9 feet 6 inches. High jump, 5 feet 4 inches. Broad jump, 18 feet. Shotput, 38 feet. S ,,-....-.- - ..i A-THQ Aiwa 1 ' 'QLA QQ.-iv. as

N gf., ,1 : V' 'f d ' ' - 4 -4-mvvvu-sq BACK ROW. Rueben J ensen, Sub Tackle. A great man in his position, a hard worker and a Sl'l11'l111g' light for 1920. Joseph Castellic, Sub Guard. Speed, yes, and a hard tackler. A prospect to be regarded. Earle Sanders, Fullback. Tank Olie, any name suits him. Tank is most proper. A veritable tank on the offensive. McMillan, Business Manager. If it wasn't for Mac there would have been no trips. Coach Gardner, Ladies' Man. A d-l to work his men. Next year Gardner will be missing, but his good work can not be forgotten. . C. E. Gaufln, Principal. An ardent football enthusiast. He helped us get the suits. , Roscoe Miller, Assistant Business Manager. Think Roscoe-think towels. Say, Roscoe, give me a towel! SECOND ROW A Ray Stauffer, Tackle. A Stonewall Jackson. We hope to see Ray in the ranks next year. Lewis Olsen, Swede, Tackle. He is so long and so very strong that nothing goes wrong with the right side of Murray's line. Joe Nelson, Center. The heart of Murray 's eleven will be seen to juggle the pigskin next year. Rulon Sanders, Captain and Quarterback. The usual rotation of figures -a snap-Rully has the ball-a gain every time. Lynn Miller, End, Red It would take a good man to fill Red's,' place or he would not be captain-elect. We place our hopes in the hands of one so capable of handling them. Best wishes to Mur- ray's captain of 1920! Wilford Peterson, Pete, Guard. A vital hinge in the workings of the line. Pete is a quiet person, who needs little attention, but who filled and will fill again a big place on our team. Howe Moffat, Guard. He meets with little resistance in his acquired po- sition. Homer Bradford, Sub Halfback. Noted for his deep kicking and the wayhe hits the line. Fenton Bradford, Sub Tackle. A great man on the eleven next year. BOTTOM ROW Charles French, Chick, Sub Guard. Many a football hero started the game with less than he's blessed with. Leland Carter, Sub End. A plucky player. Owen Sanders, Sub Halfback. A runner never gets past Tony, even if he is fast. Earl Jones, Dugan, Halfback. He runs between their legs, but he gets there with the ball. Paul Paris, End. The bigger they are the harder they fall. Paul has taken the fall out of the biggest. Avon Frame, Sub Quarterback. He has braced the subs when it looked as if all were lost. Next season will see Avon in the togs of a iirst- team man. l Herbert Bluck, Halfback. Fast, good punter and excellent interference. Elmo Martin, Sub End. There is time for growth, so we look for Elmo next year.
