back who developed rapidly. Much is expected from him next year. Magnuson, Fullback — A freshman who came into his own at the York game. He has plent ' of flight and drive. Williams, End — This was Williams first year on the squad and proved that he has what it takes. He will be back next year. Lewis, Quarterback — A shifty little fellow who came from Iowa with a reputation as a blocking back. He lived up to his reputation. Much is expected of him in the next three years. Brugger, Tackle — . big, rugged fellow who has plenty of drive and gained himself a regular berth early in the season. ■ He has two more years. Otto, Halfback— .A little fellow with plenty of speed and zip. He has an- other year. Ralston. Back, (iuard- -.Another converted back. When the emergency came be ably filled it and will be seen again next year. Brasch plays almost any position on the line. He is the work horse of the team. He has another year. VanElls, Tackle— He has three years of experience and will furnish plenty of power next year. Bradley, Fullback— - freshman, who could punt, run, and block and all very well. Harrington, Halfback— Known as the iittle fellow . He is fast and shifty, and has two more years. Rister, Fullback— Injuries kept him from showing the stuff he has. Wotipka, End- This freshman came in without any experience, but learned fast. AlcXickle, Guard— Mr. Silent to you. Very tou.gh, however. Thus went the season, not out- standing as far as records go, but it was so in things accomplished. Next year nineteen lettermen return and now that Coach Thomas has en- trenched himself here at Wesleyan he can start early next season to pro- duce those winning combinations that are his policy. In short: forget this season, remembering only the lessons it taught, and look forward to an un- defeated season in 1938. That at least is the way our football boys have mentally closed it up.
