Oh, bother that notebook. I haven't even started mine yet. You just stick around home all the time, and never have a bit of the fun the other fellows do, and they don't very often get much more than a 'conf Come on, let's go have a game of chess with the fellows, and then I'll come home with you and study. HWell, Fred, I would like to go ever so much, but I can't possibly leave my work. And all I have to say for you is that you'd better stay yourself, or there will be con- siderable danger of your getting 'conned. ' Oh, well, if you won't go I suppose you Won't, then. There goes Billy now. Good- bye. Jack Sterns was the son of a rich financier and a very conscientious student. He denied himself many of the pleasures of school life, but he said he always felt repaid when he received his grades, for as all the fellows knew, he never made a grade below ninety. Fred Ferris was his roommate. He didn't make any striking grades, but was quite popular and always out for a good time. When Fred returned about ten, Jack's notebook was completed and he was in bed. Well, Jack, old boy, you don't know what you missed. No, I don't know, but I do know you had better get to work on that notebook or you will surely miss something, but then let's hear what I've missed. j'Well, we had a meeting and decided to give a spread and each fellow invite a senior from the Academy. We counted you in, and Billy promised to get you a girl if you would only go, just once, just try it once and see how it goes. Oh, bother. Don't talk stuff like that to me, you know I wouldn't know what to do or say with a girl. Yes, we all understand that perfectly, but we'1l give you a course in How to act with a Lady,' between now and then, its day after tomorrow night, next Saturday night. Come on, let your work go once. Well, I'n1 afraid I'd prove a bore to you all, and as for the poor young lady, she'd wish a thousand times she was at home. I won't know what to say to her. Oh, that's easy enough, just tell her all about that roommate of yours, that lazy, good-for-nothing, dooless, shiftless, sleepy, Cfor he rather had a tendency for sleeping? or anything else about me you want to. Then, you can tell her all about your thesis and your history papers and your bashfulness, explain that above everything else and don't forget to apologize for your manners in ladies' company, but she will surely excuse them, for this is the first time in years you will have been with a girl. Well, suppose we postpone my lesson until tomorrow, and you get to work on your notebook, good night, I'mi going to sleep? It was Saturday, and all the boys were hurrying around, each one trying to do something, but in reality none were doing anything, except Jack, who was finishing it history paper. But at last all preparations were completed, even to the bottomless chair prepared for Jack. The boys had all been in dozens of times that day to see that Jack was not slighting his paper, and to give him some instructions as to how he was to act. They all came in to inspect his dressing in the evening, too, and finally at 5:30 he was in th-e carriage riding toward the Academy, dreading worse every minute the event, as it drew near. ' But when the appointed hour arrived, as he said afterwards, it wasn't nearly so bad as he had expected. The girl was rather tall, with light hair and brown eyes and TI-IE TALISIVIAN ll very fair, just the type of a girl Jack had always admired. She was quite congenial and an awful talker. It would be quite safe to say that Jack never had to worry once about what they would talk about next. As the boys said, she never runs down. The evening proved quite an enjoyable one for him, as he committed none of those serious blunders he had so feared, he, more than any one else, enjoyed E'red's misfortune in getting the bottomless chair, he responded to his toast with unusual wit and humor, he also received many compliments on his dancing. A few days after, Fred began to notice .lack had taken to walking by himself a great dealg and several times had caught him day-dreaming and at last one night he found him gone. I-Ie felt sure he knew what the trouble was, but feared to say any- thing to him for fear of breaking the charm. Finally the other fellows began to notice this unusual state of affairs, but they, too, feared to mention it. One night Jack invited the fellows all in, a still more unheard of thing. They all felt something was surely going to happen, yet they dared not say a word. After the eats had all disappeared, Jack suggested each one give some advice, as a parting word. - XVhen Jack's turn came, they all sat in silent' expectation. But he, as usual, started by telling them how much more they should be getting out of school and how they could do this. They were all very much disappointed. They feared he was going to turn back into his old path, but suddenly he launched forth on Miss Evans and her wondrous traits, and startled them by announcing his marriage to her two days previous. He extended his most sincere thanks to them for making this possible and invited them all to see him when they should get settled in their new apartments. He concluded, Yes, books are fine, fellowsg but life isn't all in books. VVell, you certainly are an apt pupil, here you've won the girl in six weeks weve all been courting these four years, slowly remarked Fred. -Anna Coolley, 'l5. UL QUEER, ISN'T IT? If Billy wasn't as awkward as Jess it was because he didn't have 'so much to be awkward with, especially feet. Bill was short, fat and awkward: oh, so awkward. Now some people are fat and graceful, but when a fat person is awkward there is only one type of humanity that can be more awkward and of that type was Jess. Tall, large of frame and with feet larger and more ungainly than Ross Winkler. Roommates at college Billy and Jess were as unseparable as Mutt and Jeff. What Jess liked Billy seemed to have a fondness for. Jess, with his hundred and eighty pounds of bone and brawn, made a guard on the varsity. lt was difficult for Jess to move without throwing a teammate off side, but no opposing team ever gained ground through him. For his prowess and much to his embarassrnent, he was very much adored by all the girls. One evening at their room, Billy and Jess were discussing things in generalg that is, Billy was discussing and Jess listening, when Billy broached the subject of girls: and as Billy could talk more and say less than anybody else Comitting Hughes B. Smithj, it was fully five minutes before Jess could tell him that he didn't care for girls, didu't know any girls at school, and didn't want to know any. Peculiar, wasn't it? At the finality in Jess' remark, Billy opened his eyes and silently resolved to make Jess go with the girls a little at least. When Billy started to do a ithing it was hard to make him quit. When Jess said no it was hard to make him change it to yes. So here we have al chance for a struggle. Aside from this Billy liked girls and didn't know any so he thought that maybe if Jess started there would be a chance for him, at least to meet a few. After two hours' hard talking Billy convinced Jess that he owed it to the girls, I2 TI-IE. TALISMAN himself, all his friends, and his alma mater, to go with the girls some, at least. At last gaining a reluctant consent Billy ran away to put his plan into operation, before Jess backed out. Bill was not very heavy with the girls, so he went to an upper classman and stated the situation clearly. The upper classlnan was for a moment inclined to refuse, but suddenly his brow cleared and he assured Billy that he would be delighted to assist, that he knew a girl who was crazy over Jess, that .less would like her, etc. It was arranged that the upper classman have the girl on the southeast corner of the campus at 8 o'clock Friday night. Joyously, Billy returned to tell Jess of his success. As he opened the door before he could speak, Jess spoke. I won't do itf' Billy explained that it was too late to refuseg that he had the date. Jess became white as a sheet and flatly refused to be a fool, as he put it. Bill argued, begged, threatened, prayed, tried to bribe, and at last Jess was won over. Billy then went to bed wondering how long before Jess would break out again. Three days 'til Friday. Jess lost his appetite, refused to study anything but arche- ology' and oratory. Billy had told him, in answer to a question of what to say, to launch forth in a discussion of some interesting topic with a grandiloquence that would put Arthur Parr so far in the shade that he would henceforth and forever use slang. Accordingly Jess studied until upon Friday morning he could recite archeology better than Miss Rutger could English History and with more eloquence than Prof. Trinkle could command when speaking about Indiana. ' Att 5 o'clock Friday afternoon Billy and Jess began to get ready. Supper was forgotten in their interest of the big event. Jess lost his confidence in remembering his speech so he wrote out notes and pasted them on his watch face. Then he happened to think that maybe she would want to know the time and so a new set of notes had to be made. This and a number of other things delayed them so that it was 7:-15 before Jess was ready. Then for the last and seventh time Jess sat down and refused to go. Here Billy almost lost his temper. But, submitting to the stronger will, Jess allowed Billy to lead him forth. Billy was to go as far as he dared, then hide in the shrubbery and await results. As they advanced upon the campus they discerned two shadowy figures on the opposite side and with a last word of advice Billy faded away into the bushes. Jess watched a moment to see if Billy wouldn't return and then drawing a full breath started onward. His mouth was dry and his body wet with perspiration, Wliat was the matter with him? He had never felt that way on a football field. He did not have breath enough to run or voice enough to clear his throat, let alone call for Billy, so he continued toward the pair in the shadows, each step slower, shorter and less firm than the preceeding one. l1Vould he never reach them? Forty feet-thirty feet-twenty feet-ten-- 'fHello, Jess, are you drunk?i' 'Been to a firemen's ball, Jess, or going to jail? Thus he was hailed by the two figures in the shadows. The voice belonged to two classmates and Jess had mistaken the raincoat of one for a dress. He staggeredand leaned weakly against a tree gasp- ing and staring at his friends. Suddenly his body stiffened with a jerk. He whirled and ran harder than he had ever run for a touchdown. Hearing a sound behind them' his friends turned. They saw a man and, apparently, a woman, but the woman removed her hat, veil, and hair, revealing the features of the meanest, most heartless senior in the school and his beautiful bass voice rasped as he, looking after the flying figuygv Said, H, ,. Queer, isn't it? -Walter W. McCown, '14, THE TALISIVIAN I3 WHY THIRTY WAS LATE. The C. I. 8: X. tracks paralleled those of the R. H. QQ D. thru nearly a hundred miles of picturesque mountain scenery. The reason for this was entirely physicalg the engineer of each road, finding the route chosen to be the best available without great expense for cuts, fills, etc. Besides passing thru a very lucrative grazing and mining country, making con- siderable freight business, the roads were the favorites with the crowds of tourists passing thru the country each year, and hence each road bid heavily for its share of the traffic. A To bear out the glowing statements of the traffic departments in their advertise- ments, the transportation departments of both roads provided unusually modern and luxurious passenger equipment. The boast of the C. I. QQ X. was the Meteor, which surely bore out its name when handled by the unerring engineers, Davis and Hawley. The crack train of the mountain division of the R. ll. Q D. was the Sierra Limited, known to the railroaders as the 30. Now it happened that each road was very desirous of getting the mail contract from the government. Since all things were so nearly equal on the two roads, Uncle Sam decided to give the contract to the road that had the best passenger record for one month. The month was up on the day of which we are writing. The records of the roads were nearly equal but very slightly in favor of the R. H. 85 D. Much that day depended on the behavior of the two trains, the Meteor and the Sierra Limited. As Engineer Hawley slowly brought engine 736 up to the head of the waiting Meteor she looked like some mighty steed anxious to be up and off down the two hundred and ten miles that was her day's run. Presently the conductor strolled up with the orders, went back to his train and waved his hand. The bell began to ring, the seven-foot drivers began to roll and the Meteor was on its way. The first stop, thirty miles distant, was made on time. So was the second and the third. The last stop before the division end was reached they were five minutes late, but Engineer Hawley know how to get all the speed possible out of the big Pacific and they made the last forty miles of the division in record time. They rolled into the terminal ex- actly on the minute. The superintendent, trainmaster and the general manager of the road were all on the station platform with watches in their hands. They complimented the train crew and again for the liundredth time hoped that the Sierra Limited would be late. If she was on time the contract would go to the R. H. Q D. The 30 was due to leave the eastern terminal just one hour after the Meteor, but on this occasion the train pulled in from the prairie division fifteen minutes lateg no time was lost in changing engines and in less than five minutes the 30 was ready to go wth engine 3003 at its head and Engineer Dawes, the best on the road, at the throttle. Engineer and fireman coaxed and petted in every known way the 3003, so that the train would go thru on time. In places where the track was good Dawes opened the throttle wide and hooped up the lever until by the time the third stop was reached, one hundred ten miles down the line, they were 1'eported exactly on time. Division and general officers at the terminal took heart. There was only one bad grade on the whole mountain division but the 3003 took it cheerfully and at good speed. However, by the time they were nearly to the top of the hill they were not going more than twenty miles per hour. Just at this time the engineer noticed a man suspended in midair not far from the right-of-way. Dawes did some quick thinking. The man might be a criminal and deserve death, precious minutes would be lost and the mail contract go to the other road. But he argued that a mants life is worth more than any old mail contract on earth. Decidedly he I4 THE TALISMAN ' slowed up so his fireman could get off to get the man, then proceeded to the top of the hill and waited. It took half an hour to release the man and get him back to the train. The train pulled into the terminal twenty-five minutes late. The grim officials met the offending engineer with bristling airs and threatening voices and would hear no explanation. He had failed them at the .critical time. He was discharged. The R. H. SL D. lost the contract and also lost a good man when Dawes was fired. He is now superintendent on another road. The man whose life was attempted proved to be one of the road's track supervisors, who had been attacked by bandits and thus disposed. -Arthur Parr, '14. Z CHASED BY A PACK OF WOLVES. Away from civilization in a great forest was a large lumber camp. They had been cutting wood for a distant city. One day the foreman noticed that their provisions were running low. It had been a very severe winter and it had taken more food than he had thought it would. He at once ordered a young lumberman to take a team and go to the distant city for more food. The young man was going to take two days to make the trip, as it was very cold and the snow was deep. He had presence of mind enough before he left to get his gun and shells. Everything went fine on his way to town, and he made the trip in due time. He loaded his provisions and made ready for an early start back to camp. He was up early the next morning and made a good start. It was a clear day, but very cold. Every particle of life in the forest seemed to be killed out except himself and his team. He had covered about two-thirds of the distancee when he heard the distant howl of a hungry wolf. Everything was silent for awhile. Then he heard the howl againg this time it was answered by a second wolf and again by a third. The next time he heard it, it was close up behind him. Then again it would be in front, again on one side, and then on the other. He knew by that that they were all around him, Then. he thought of the meat he had in his sled, and he knew they were very hungry and very savage. He gotlhis gun out from under the seat and looked to see if it was in readi- ness. .lust thcn a wolf crossed the road in front of him, he shot, but missed. and the wolf disappeared. After that they were more careful and stayed further behind, but still they kept steadily on his trail. At times things would be very silent, then they would howl dreadfully. After a few hours they became bolder and came closer to the sled. Then he saw he was going to have to run for it. He got his gun ready and began to push his horses. The wolves closed in and tried one by one, to jump up behind. One by one he shot them down, and when they fell the rest stopped to eat them. He thought he would be safe if only his ammunition would hold out until he reached camp. He counted the wolves and there were just fifteen left, then he counted his shclls. Glory. He had sixteen, but alas, he missed three shots. Now there were more wolves than he had shells. His only hope was to make camp. He was now within two miles of camp with three shells and five wolves, and two very tired horses. He was driving them as hard as he could, but they were failing very fast. .lust as he drove on to the river, which was about half a mile from camp another wolf sprang upon the sled and he shot her, but it was his last shell and there were two more long tongued, hungry eyed wolves following him. The second wolf sprang up, and he struck at it with his gun, andl senti it sprawling to the ice. lt was not long however, before it again was on its feet. Then the other wolf sprang to the sled, but before it had hardly struck a long gray body shot through the air and struck the wolf THE TALISMAN I5 in the shoulder and they both fell to the ice with loud cries. It was the young man's wolf hound that had come to the rescue. There was a terrible fight on the ice in which the hound was victorious, although she died in her attempt to' save her master. She killed one of the wolves and crippled the other so badly that he ran away. By the time the young man was down beside her the faithful old hound was dying. V -Kenneth Church, '16. lt CATCHING A BURGLAR. We had been losing coal from our coal house for some time and I had decided to catch the burglar. Having already tried abouti four different kinds I decided upon a new plan. Having an electric bell I purchased batteries and wire and constructed an alarm system arranged so that whenever the coal house door was opened the electric bell near my bed would ring. The first night passed uneventfully but the next morning I discovered that I had noi! connected up the wircs of the system properly and that the thief had taken an especially large amount of fuel. The next night I was suddenly awakened by the steady ring of my little servant, the bell. I hastily arose and carefully creeping out with my Colt's clinched tightly in my hand I came to the coal shed and seeing nobody on the outside, I quietly crept inside. But while I was feeling carefully about in the dark I heard the door slam and the click of the lock, then hurried footsteps. I was locked. in my own coal house. The first of my thoughts were to call for help which I did lustily, but no answer came. Presently I heard three or four men outside talking in a low voice. I again called for help, then there were hurried foot- steps towards the door which was unlocked and thrown open. l then thought only of my escape and jumped out of the coal shed only to be caught by three burly policemen, who hustled me, all unmindful of my protests and attempts at explanation, to the patrol wagon and taken to the city jail where I spent a restless night. Later I found that my wife had been the cause of all these proceedings, for she having heard my calls for help had telephoned the police. The next morning it took all of mine and my wife's powers of explanation to free me from the police. And. when I returned home I took down the electric bell system and declared henceforth the burglar should have all the coal he wished, but strange to say, I never again suffered any loss. -Harlan Keran, '16, R, TI-IE BOSS AND HOW I-IE WON I-IIS TITLE. The boss was a young man about nineteen years of age. This may seem rather young for a man to be in charge of about one hundred and fifty men, but he was fully capable of holding down his job. He was big of frame, and muscular, and about his mouth was an expression of honesty, truthfulness, and a willingness always to helpf others when in trouble or in time of need. I shall now 'tell how he won his title. He had been working at the mill ever since he was old enough to do any kind of work at all. The work that the mill was doing now was putting in a large concrete dam across the river just below the mill, and the other dam. The old dam was getting weak and they were going to build a new one and then blow the old one out. 4 I6 THE TALISMAN In the center of the dam had been placed U. large iron pole. It was fastened in the concrete and on the top of it was the American flag. The dam was finally finished and the old one blown out. About a Week after this the young man earned his title. The overseer had come down to see the new dam and had brought his little boy, about six years of age, with him. The father had gone to see the dam and had left his little boy playing near the bunk house. The father had not been gone long when he heard great shouts and saw his little boy in the middle of the stream in a boat that he had set adrift, going straight to the dam, and certain death. He was so terrified he did not know what to do, until he saw that the boat was going to go over near the flag pole. He then began to shout to the boy to jump and catch hold of the pole and hold on for dear life. As is so happened that the boat came very near to the pole the little boy leaped out and caught hold of the flag pole. It had been fixed with steps on it so the men could put the flag up. There were only three steps on it but the little boy stood. on the bot- tom one and held around the pole. The next thing to do was to get some way to get him off. About this time, Bob, Cas that was the name of the young man we have already mentionedj, came up. He told the father if the men would fasten a rope cable to a large tree up stream a way, then fasten it to another close by and cut the last down and get it out in the current, he would ride it to the dam, and get hold of the boyg then as the rope would not let the tree go over the dam and as the current washed against it, it would at last be washed ashore. It was a very dangerous undertaking, but the young man wanted to try so the father let him. It was tried and proved a success and the young man was made a boss. -Kenneth Church, '16.

Effl- l-IISTORY OF CLASS OF 1914. Just twelve years ago, eleven of the class of 1914 began their famous career in the little white school house, their first teacher being Miss Ida Houk, who instilled in them their first principles of education. Witli her they spent a pleasant as well as a profitable year We can truly say that Miss Houk showered upon 'them her entire stock of patience and love. The eleven who remain out of that large first year class of thirty-five are: Lois Burgett and Nina Dudley, Maurine Moore, Kathryn Kyde, Mary Fern Gillogly, Edith Knight, Gertrude Hinds, Sarah Gillogly, Gladys NVatkins and Charles Burgett. In the second year they were the same bright pupils taught by Miss Anna Siden- stricker. When the third grade was reached Edwin Myers joined, and his smiles and jokes were always appreciated by his classmates. During the third and fourth grades, Mrs. Belle M. Jenkins, who is now Mrs. Sutton, of Indianapolis, cast her loving influence over the class. Again, classmates, call to mind the happy but prosperous fifth year, when the I8 Tl-IE TALISMAN present Junior class had the honor of being in the same room and also taught by the same teacher, Miss Addie Westerburger. The Sixth grade need not be mentioned to call to memory the wonderful talent. wiseness and athletic feats shown there. Six different people tested their ability in teaching, but the very bright pupils proved to be too wise even for such capable teachers. lt may be said that the intellectual ability of the class was somewhat strengthened by the addition of Hughes Blake Smith. The class was-promoted to the Seventh grade, there again to display its knowledge, but not quite so vividly, because Mr. C. E. Jones was master of all difficulties, The memories of this year are fixed firmly in the minds of each and again they could not be forgotten, because the pupils have been reminded in high school so many times of their wonderful knowledge of the grades. Jennie Turman, the class poetess, entered the grade this year, coming from Villa Grove. Going into the Eighth grade two more of the present class of 1914 were found, Gladys Jones and Ross Vvinkler. Even then the athletic star was seeing visions of his bright career. Miss Ada McVey taught the class this year. After graduating from the Eighth grade this class entered N. T. H. S. Never has a class entered with as much distinction, fully equipped and heads full of all kinds of information. School was then held in the old Presbyterian church, but they readily fell into line and formed one of the most noted freshmen classes that high school has ever known. During the year Mr. Bailey was principal, Miss Rutger had charge of Eng- lish, Miss Melrose of Latin and Miss Stewart of science. Earl Roller entered the class from the school at Pleasant Ridge. Only one dark spot darkens the year for the class and that was the sudden death of the classmate, Leon Hance. Of course most of the class were promoted to the sophomore and had the pleas- ure of seeing the present junior class enter as freshmen. ln this new situation they were taught by all new teachers, but Miss Rutger, who held her position. Mr. Trinkle was principal, Miss Carder had charge of Latin and Mr. McMullin of science. This year Charles Burgett was president of the class and as usual the record was kept of being not only the most brilliant but the best looking class in school. Arthur,Parr entered from the school northeast of town. They entered the Junior year with more distinction than before. Ross VVinkler was elected president and Charles Burgett, secretary and treasurer. The principal and Eng- lish teacher remain with the addition of Miss Witte. who taught Latin and German, and Mr. Rank, science. Early in the year the class chose its colors and class pins and later made preparations for the junior reception which was given May 2, 1913. This was not only most successful, but also the best arranged entertainment given by a class for some time. Don Mclntyre and Everett Akers entered the class this year. In the fourth year the class has proven to be a most unusual class, keeping up its famous record. Arthur Parr was elected president and Charles Burgett secretary and treasurer. This year the beautiful new school building was completed and entered September 1. This year Waltei' McCown entered the class and also Magnus Kyde of Phillip, South Dakota? Too much cannot be said of the pupils of this class, because they have proven their ability in every way. TI-IE TALISMAN TO TI-IE N. T. H. S.

There is nothing nobler, Naught deserves more praise, Than such as thou art doing, Humanity for to save.

Late one September afternoon, As on the field we went, There occurred to one of ours A very serious accident. Alas, alas, 'tis hard to tell, NVhat there we all did see, When Mose, ah yes, t'was he, poor boy, Yelled: Oh, my knee, my knee. Now friends this knee was very bad, For, list to what I sayg Q Mose could not practice any rnore, But thought that he could play. So the time went on and on, 'Till our last game we played, I1l1S. Since then, dear friends, naught has Mose said Nor any holler made. Dear Mose, we all do sympathize, Witli you in your affliction, And may this be our word of grief 'Till expressed in better diction. -Mag I'111S. TI-IE TALISMAN WHAT ABOUT IT ROSS? That God is generous we do not doubt, Look what he gave to man, The birds, the flowers, the brooks, the trees, And multitudes of land. That He was partial to some is true, For look you, while I sight, A case where His generous nature put, A boy in an awful plight. The boy of whom l speak, dear friends, Is Ross, the staunch and fleet, And the gift which was given to him Amen, Was, oh! Such awful big feet. These feet were so large they were out Witli all else that Ross possessed, And when the poor boy attempts to run, He is very much distressed. Ross, We know it is hard to endure, The ridicule of all, But how much better it is to have, Large feet instead of small. of proportion -Magnus.

In school he was so mischevious And always talked so much, Prof. was forced to beat him till He had to use a crutch. In sports he was most aggravating Slower than a roach, And always trying to sass back, The umpire or the coach. Now don't be haughty or misled, Nor be wrought into ireg For the boy of whom I speak is The quiet McIntyre. -Heine THE TALISIVIAN EARLROLLER. Of Earl Roller the 1'oller's son, VVe haVen't much to say, He isn't a somber youth, to be sure, And yet he isnlt gay. The only thing he's troubled with, Which sets his brain awhirlg Is the very, very hard matter of Finding a suitable girl. -I-Ieine. R, COTTON. In every school there's always one, Who always wants to sleep, And always hollers when exams, They seem to be too steep. Now Cotton Akers is this lad, For Whom we all feel sorry, Because he is an abstract youth, Who in idleness doth glory. Wake up, Cotton, take a breath, Do not shed a tear, Because youlll have the privilege, Of sleeping all next year. --Heine. U! ARTHUR. Listen my friends while I tell you a story Of a boy named Arthur Parr. I-Ie's the brightest boy I ever met and The brightest in school, by far. In all the branches his studies are Way up to ninety and nineg And when you ask him to recreate It's, UNO, I haven't time. But, as always the case with all great men, There's always some detect, And that which bothers Art,'l my friends, Is easy to detect.

But Arthur, we hope the day will come When genius mixed with fame, IfVill win for you what you deserve Happiness and a DAME , --Heine. THE TALISIVIAN DOC MYERS All We have against Doc Myers, Is that everlasting grouchg But yet it seems a part of him, As to the kangaroo its pouch. No matter how gently you speak to him, Nor how softly you inquire, About some things you'd like to know, l-le answers you with ire. Doc, please take some joy pills, That thy face may be illuminedg Be kinder to thy neighbors, And thy grouch will he soon ruined. -Heine. U! Jennie Turman for elocution, Is training herself to he: And if we watch her record Her fame we all shall see.

THE TALISMAN Miss Edith Knight is out of sight Though very tall and gracefulg But if you would not tell her so She would be very grateful. Miss Gladys Watkins is somewhat stuck Upon her noble self, But we must not judge others, For they can judge themselves. Miss Gladys Jones is, oh, so small Yet very much is she, For no matter when you look at her Shels as busy as can be. Miss Gertrude Hinds keeps very still And hasu't. much to say, And that is why she comes prepared XYith her lessons every day. Mary Fern Gillogly Tries ever to be in style, And on that arduous task Her brain is all the while. -Heine. It TI-IE BOY WHO NAMED Tl-IE ANNUAL The boy who named this book, dear friends, Thinks himself most grand, He has the idea in his head He's the only boy in the land. But what more could we expect, pray tell, From a freshman so low and despised, Who thinks that I know it. all -know, Since I entered Newman High. His desire for knowledge is unsurpassed, His research most waryg And in order to further his nominal views He studies the dictionary. One day while studying this large book, By chance his fingers ran Across the pages up and down, Till he found the Talisman Please, Stanton, do not be chagrined, By this ridicule, 'Tis but one of many knocks we get, While attending every school.

Then come Magnus, Don and Arthur, Who are very quick to learng But they're always into mischief When Trinkle's back is turned. Then last are Lois and Gertrude, And both you know quite well, So I'll not say much about them But go right on and tell What I think of Miss Rutger Who teaches English, you seep You might search throughout this land But would find none as good as she. There's Mr. May, a fine young man, And a very good teacher, toog I-le's fine in teaching Botany And he knows just what to do. Miss Miller teaches German And Latin just as wellg And you might search about the town But would find none that could excel. Miss Colliver teaches Mathematics And also Domestic Art And she's very good in sewing For she's very, very smart. Mr. Trinkle is Professor, And you bet he is no foolg And I hope they get him back to teach Another term of school. -Jennie Turman. Tl-IE.

V One September morning. 1911, there appeared a group of children who caused all the veterans of the school to shout with laughter. It was the class of 1915-twenty-one awed, terror-stricken freshmen. As the year proceeded, under the auspices of the Soph- omore class and assisted by Prof. Trinkle and his staff, the class developed into some- thing Which made the upper classmen think that possibly after all Newman High was not forever disgraced. Back in September, '12, the class laughed and teased the poor freshmen, forgetting how they had appeared the year before, They spent the year in bothering the teachers and wishing they were Juniors. The wonderful class of '15, now in their Junior yea1', are making rapid strides toward civilization and their Senior year. .They have a class to be proud of, having in their class three HN football men, 'many in the debating society, chorus and on the baseball team.

September 1, 1912, was a red letter day in the history of Newman Township High School,.for that was the day the present Sophomore class made its entrance into High School life. During the first year it broke no previous records by showing its latent abilities, but humbly accepted its position and stood the taunts of the upper classmen, But when it returned this fall, prepared to fill its higher position, the class discovered the campus overrun with a horde of freshmen and at once set out to show them the proper kind of conduct. Now we can point to them as a well-behaved freshman class. We have certainly assumed our rightful position and point with pride to our record. WVe have 'to our credit three letter men on the football team, captain of the baseball team, and many active members in the Lincoln Debating Club. We stand shoulder to shoulder in everything pointing toward the best interests of Newman High-not for individual glory, but for that of the school. 'What is will continue to be, and in our remaining school years we hope to accom- plish more and more. Ever will the memories of our underclass days be before us,- a source of inspiration and hope. But if we equal the feats of our sophomore year we will be content. We may have grown too enthusiastic in self-praise, but please bear with us, for truly 1916 is no common class.

T. H. S. a bunch of Freshies, They were very much delighted to be in with the upper classmen and set about to do their part in any undertaking. They were rather bashful at first and were unable to find just Where they belonged, but soon became accustomed to the ways and doings of the N. T, I-I. S. classes. They all tried to see how inuch they could giggle the first nionth, and then they got so they could laugh out loud. In the class there are Fidlers, two Gladys, Pearls, a Prophet Paul, a Virgin Mary, a General Lee, a Vesta, and lots of Pepper, so the class should be anticipating great things for the future. The class of 1917 should look to upper classinen for advice and models, since there is always plenty to be had for the asking. We wish the class good luck and advanced steps in every line of their school work and hope they will make a good record for the school.

The purpose of this organization was to train its members in the art of Parliamentary usage, and the member- ship was limited at first to Juniors and Seniors, but as pupils from other classes showed interest in it, it was decided that anyone having three credits should belong. There were twelve members when first organized, but by the end of the year the membership had increased to sixteen. The Club this year held its first meeting Deccmbnr 12th, with a membership of thirty. The old constitution was accepted, but an addition was made to the purpose, to the effect that the members should be developed along musical lines. Interest in the club has spread and large crowds assembled to hear the various debates. One of the special features of the season was a debate with the business men in which the school was fortunate enough to win. The music also has added to the interest and is considered by all a wise addition. M BENT COMPANY CONCERT A very delightful concert was given in the Assembly Hall at the High School Feb' ruary 13th. by the Bent Musical Company. The proceeds from the concert were put into the school piano fund, and the concert was given to show the good points of the new piano. R, HAMLET READING Mr. T. H. Guiles, of the University of Illinois. gave a very entertaining reading at the school house, the evening of March lSth, on Hamlet. The High School Choral Club furnished the music. It was well attended, and the proceeds went to the piano fund. E THE SENIOR PICNIC The annual picnic of the Senior class took place the latter part of September. The class started at 5:30 p. m. and were accompanied by the Junior class and faculty. The picnic ground selected was the Xvinkler Grove, about two miles and a half southwest of town. Picnic supper was served immediately upon the arrival at the groundsg then a bonfire was made by which marshmallows were roasted. Following this the real fun took place, in which all kinds of moonlight games were played. The picnic broke up about ten o'clock, after a very enjoyable evening. 48 THE TALISIVIAN THE SCHOOL CHORUS The Choral Club was organized late in the fall and on account of a full winter it did not receive as much attention as it should. It rendered music on several occasions and will furnish the music for Commencement. The school has a great deal of musical talent and the Chorus work looks very promising for next year.

It was not composed of big, brawny men, but the sixteen letter men were sixteen little giants. The fame of our team traveled far and wide, even to the hills of Indiana, and to the bright lights of Springfield. The football squad has been the life and backbone of the high school. During the month of November, when the team was playing the heaviest part of its championship schedule, their grade average was higher than the school average. All the presidents of the literary society were letter men, and most of the Work in debating was done by football men. Our school was represented in the Business Men's Debate by three letter men, and the alternate was also a member of the team, The P1'esidents of the Sophomore, Junior and Senior Classes wear the N., and the Freshmen Class is not organized. When the first call was given for practice a larger number of candidates responded than ever before. There was some very promising material, and Coach McCown took charge of them with a determination to turn out a Winning team. The first two Weeks were devoted mostly to falling on the ball, tackling, and scrimmage. VVe had our first game with Oakland on September 13th, and that was the beginning of the great football season, all of which will be told in the following pages. Just after the toss of the coin I-Iatchie would read the names of the men who were to start the game, and when a player's name was read a smile would usually spread over his face, but it usually turned to a frown before the game was over. Next came the sermon. No general on the eve of a great battle ever talked more earnestly than Coach McCown, putting on the fine points of the week's training and urging the men to play real football. 'tln your places, called Akerss the whistle blew, and then came the cheery words of Captain Akers, Now Newman, come ong every man block a man. The ball was kicked, and thru every man went a feeling that cannot be described, a thrill that only a football player has experienced, a loud roar from the side lines, and we were off. This was the start of the great football team,-the finish can be told by Chrisman. After the first game it was one grand and glorious march on to victory and triumph. Every Saturday brought a new opponent, and as often a victory. At the end of the season We had smothered eleven teams, and scared Springfield speechless. Our team was a gritty one, struggling always against heavier teams, sometimes against University coaches, but, with our team playing scientifically, and as smoothly as clock work, Coach Hatchie was able to put it over all of them, including the dig- nified, University-coached bunch from Champaign,-those fellows with the cute little green caps, and the important gentleman who came with them as a faculty manager. We won eleven games, including the best teams in the State of Illinois. VVe issued a challenge to any undefeated team, which scared Springfield so badly that she ran away to Pana. Cowards always run somewhere and Pana was the onlyuqtown that would harbor her Where she might feel safe from a defeat. lVe offered to meet them on any neutral grounds, they consented once, and then craWfished. We entered a claim for the Down State Championship, and it was recognized by the papers, and all the leading high schools except Springfield and possibly a few others like her. Financially, the season was by far the most successful that we ever had. Although there were two bad Saturdays, the gate receipts averaged S85 per game, making the total gate receipts 3700. However, we incurred extra heavy expenses, and at the end of the season we had o11ly 3120. Wfith part of this we purchased sweaters for the men who had played four or more games, and the remainder was divided between the track and baseball teams. To Coach NlcCown: Not enough credit ever will be given Hatchiel' for the success of the team. Everv evening, as regularly as four o'clock came, he was present with his board fsometimeis a whipj, urging the men into action, Working patiently with the green candidates, teach. Tl-IE TALISIVIAN 59 ing the squad how to tackle the dummy tnext morning, sore shouldersj. He gave the team a set of signals which were easy to understand, yet no team could ever get the run of them. It was his foresight which enabled him to see the ability in the green men, and from them he developed some stars. He spent hours working out the com- plicated trick plays, which often caused our opponents to look for the ball while we quietly carried it over for a touchdown. It was his invention which caused the eyes of the small t?J Sullivan center to stare vacantly as at space, and Wonder where the ball went to. lt was the same play that was too deep for Bloomingdale. He spent much of his time in drilling us on iformations which always meant sure gains, and on rules he was a shark. He stood for squareness on the gridiron, and he was strongly opposed to anything on the field or during a game that did not point toward good sportsmanship. His services will never be forgotten by the football team of 1913, for which he worked so loyally. To Assistant Coach Rutherford: Brown spent most of his time trying to develop a bunch of kickers, also giving us many valuable formations and trick plays. To him we are indebted for our reputation for fairness in athletics. He stood firm as a rock for square deals to visiting teams, and always gave them all that was coming to them. The strong combination of I-latchie's'i board and Browns ever ready flow of words made Newman High a cham- pionship team. To the Business Nlen: Nothing ever became a success without backing, and in this the team was indeed fortunate. With few exceptions ttightwadsj the business men contributed to the sup- port of the team at the beginning of the season. Nearly every business house had a representative at the games, and some firms were closed for the most important games. To those who closed their stores we are especially thankful, and wish you increasing success in your business. You supported us loyally, and in return we gave you a championship team. ive cannot express our thanks and appreciation, but to you busi- ness men, success. To the Rooters: The rooters did more than their share in developing the championship team. On Saturdays, people came from all the surrounding country, but they did not tarry long in the business section. The mass of loyal fans going out to the Morrow Field looked like a crowd at a Fourth of July celebrationg coming back from the games it looked even greater. In that line of march were big men, little men, gray haired men, young men, and all other kinds of men. The high school girls were especially loyal, and we certainly appreciate your attendance. The women were there in large crowds, and on days that the Womans Club' did not meet their yells could be heard above all others. Eight hundred men witnessed the Tuscola game, and there would have been many more if the weather man had not acted up. Rooters, you supported us beyond all expectationsg it was you who enabled us to meet all opponents with a feeling of confidence, and in a large measure you were responsible for our success. We only hope that you support the team as loyally next year, and that they in turn give you another clean slate. 60 THE TALISMAN MEMBERS OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM Captain Akers: Cotton is a veteran at the quarterback position, having played it for four years. Much of the success of the team was due to his excellent generalship, and he always had perfect control of his men. Every member of the team placed full confidence in him, and his cheery words on the field always brought forth greater efforts from the players. He was a sure tackler, never failing to get their shoe strings, led more interference than a quarterback usually does, he carried the ball well, and used excellent judgment in directing plays. The Decatur Review, in making an all star selection, said For the quarterback position, Akers of Newman is without a peerf, and he well deserved his position on the Central Illinois all star selection. Tresenriter, Center. Shadyt' is by far the best center that ever passed a ball for Newman High. He possessed a knowledge and understanding of inside football which he used to great advantage in overcoming opponents. He was a consistent player, for two years being the bulwark of the line, never weakening, always in the game with the same spirit. His particular hobby was picking up fumbles of the opposing team and carrying the ball for long runs, sometimes making a touchdown. ln the Champaign game, when the score stood 7 to 6 against us in the third quarter, the opposing back- field fumbled. t'Shadyi' saw the error, and going thru the Champaign line, grabbed the ball and ran forty yards for a touchdown which won the game. He repeated this performance in the Bement game. He was the smasher of all line plays, and it was not an uncommon sight to see him handle two men. He mussed every play that came thru the line, and was mixed up in most of the others. The Decatur Review saidg Tresenriter has probably never met an equal while playing at that position. He was placed on the Central Illinois all star selection, but was a general favorite for the State team. Arthur Parr, Guard. Although a senior, this was Parr's first appearance for the team, but his grit and determination enabled him to earn his letter. He was usually first on the field of an evening, ready for practice, never talking, but always trying to learn something new about the game. He developed into a steady and reliable man. H. B. Smith, End. This was Moses fourth year on the team, and his playing was up to his usual standard. He was speedy, a sure ground gainer, and a drop kicker of fair ability, scoring several field goals in the season. Tyler, Quarterback, Halfback. This was Rex's fourth year out for the team. Al- though a light weight, he made a good man in either backfield position. He used good judgment in directing plays, and won a long-coveted N. Gregg, Guard. Henkle was a green man at the beginning of the season, but the big husky from St. Louis developed into a guard that no other man Walked over without first finding out that he was up against 160 pounds, solid as a stone wall. He was steady and reliable, and was a valuable asset to the team. Walter McCown. Dann started the season in fullback's shoes, but soon after the first game he was injured in practice. He was thus forced to quit, after working extra hard all summer to get Mr. McCown's consent to play. ln a few weeks he came back again, more bandages than anything else, but nevertheless he was there with his bull dog grit to make the team. He filled five different positions, and played all of them in a smashing style. He was seriously handicapped all thru the remainder of the season by other injuries, and he went thru solely on his nerve. Forest NlcCown. Frosty played his third year on the team this Season- He was always mixed up in every play, never flinching, but right there with his big head to stop every play that came his way. No one on the team played any harder, and he was a terror to every opposing line. Don Smith. Stiney played at fullback and tackle this year. He was a sure ground gainer and a good defensive man. TI-IE TALISMAN 61 Truman Dennis. Strawberry made his first appearance for the tea1n this year. His hobby was smoking a pipe, and pulling forward passes out of the air. Pounds. This was Peelis second appearance for the tean1. The first year he was laughed off the field, The same people laughed this year when he first came out, but the football eye of Coach McCown saw a chance to 'develop a player out of him. Hatchie was severely criticized by the fans for letting him start the Oakland game, but t'Peck surprised everybody by making the only two touchdowns, and one of them was made on a line plunge ten yards thru the Oakland line which the other backfield men had not been able to gain thru for more than two yards. This was a good starter and from then on he was a natural star. He weighed only one hundred and seventeen pounds, but he was far the best ground gainer thru the line, of the backfield, and not once did We meet a team that had a line which he could not hammer for consistent gains. He was quick as a flash, nervy, and was a good tackler. He never gave up nor lost his nerve, which, combined with his other good qualities, made him one of the best halfbacks that ever carried a ball for Newman High. He has one more year to play, and we predict that he will be the best halfback in the State next year. Nlclntyre, Tackle. In the circle of football fans Don was popularly called a horse He was one of the best tackles that we ever had, and Newman was justly proud of him. On offense he was like a stone wall, and no opposing backfield was ever able to gain thru him. On defense he was even stronger, and was a smasher of all line plunges that went on his side of the line. He often blocked punts, and in some instances re- covered punts that he himself had blocked. on the field of practice he was a model, never saying a word, but paying close attention all the time. ln the game he was faultless, never nervous or scared, but always cool, never weakening, but with head and shoulders down, time and time again, he would plunge into plays directed at his side of the line, and usually there was an awful mixup. He will always be remembered by the followers of the 1913 team as a stellar player. Magnus Kyde. HI-leine came to Newman fresh from the wilds of South Dakota, and had never seen a football game. He soon got the fever, and the second week of school found him out in a suit. Coach McCown saw ability in him, but it was hard to find out where he belonged. He was let in the Oakland game at end but was soon taken out, his playing having resembled the actions of a small boy in a large city. The coach saw that he could not play end until he learned more about football, so he set to work to make a tackle out of him. Kyde improved rapidly in his new position, but did not show up as well as some other candidates for the same place. McCown found the right place when he put him at guard. He charged fast, played low, and although very light made the best guard we had. He was the star of the linemen in the Champaign game, and his big 180 pound opponent simply could not handle him, for Heine went over, thru, under and around him. He made good at guard, but it was thought that he would make a fullback. In the latter pa1't of the season he was shifted to the backfield, and although seriously handicapped by a weak ankle, he made a good man. In the Lovington game he plunged thru the entire line for a forty yard run. He and Gregg, at guards, made the strongest pair of men for that position in this section of the State. Frank Ogden, Halfback. 'tShorty was the star of the backfield, the pride of the team and the town. Although very little, he was uncommonly swift, being the fastest man in a football suit in Eastern Illinois. We did not meet a team that he could not run around, and not a game passed without him pulling off two or three sensational long runs. Perhaps the most sensational of these runs was in the Champaign game, when in the first quarter he circled the Champaign team for a forty yard run and a touch- down. He made the only touchdown in the Bloomingdale game, a long run of 45 yards. He made three touchdowns in the first quarter of the Sullivan game, the longest run being sixty yards and the shortest forty. In the second quarter of the Tuscola game 62 TI-IE TALISMAN he started things off with a thirty yard run for a touchdown, much to the surprise of Stalker and the Tuscola fans, He repeated this stunt in the same quarter by making a forty yard run for a touchdown. NVe did not meet a team that had a man who could catch Ogden if he got a start of one inch. Frank is very short, but nevertheless few high school men were his equal in football. Edwin Ivlyers. Doc is positively the best tackle that ever played for Newman High School. He was mixed up in nearly every play, and when a charging backfield met him, two or three of them usually wondered what had happened. He was the best tackler, by far, of any high school man in Central Illinois. They were long and fierce, directed at the shoe strings. He played defensive half and made one star play after another in breaking up the charges of the opposing backfield. His best playing was in the Bloomingdale game, when he made many long and fierce tackles on the big huskies. His tackling was wonderful in the Sullivan game, as their backfield testified. He was full of nerve, and not once did he ever weaken, butit was always Come on, boys, we'll get them this time. He was a player that the school had a right to be proud of, and too much tribute -cannot be paid to his spectacular playing, especially his great tackling. Ross Winkler, Right Tackle. Ross or Spike YVinkler started his football career in 1911 and made the team as a guard. Wlieii the season opened he was looked upon as too much of a youngster to play football, but by hard work and persistence earned a trial at guard, in one of the early games. He held this position the remainder of the season. WVhe11 the 1912 season opened he was shifted to tackle, which soon proved to be his natural position. Ideal training and ideal playing, as well as his sportsmanlike conduct thruout the season, earned for him the reward of business manager for next season. The schedule for the 1913 season was the best ever made by a N. T. H. S. manager, and when he made a few changes as the season advanced, it made a schedule by which the team Cwhen they had won every ganiel held as good, if not better, claim to the down-state title, than any team in the state. During the early part of the season 'iSpike was used at right end, on account of his knowledge of the game, and he being a most dependable man. As other men developed he was shifted back to his old position at right tackle. His work at that position earned him a place on the second All Down-State eleven, and also on the first All Central Illinois team. Spike's cool head was his best asset, and his ability to size up a play and Hsmasht' an interference was the best. At offense he never failed to open a hole in the opponent's line, and his great power to advance the ball was due to his wicked stiff-arm, his ability to stay on his feet, and the force with which he ran, the 93-yard run he made in one game being the seasons record. Spike also had a great toe for the Ukick off, always getting them high and well back, frequently to the one-yard line. He is a shifty player, a model trainer, and did not meet his match in any game this season. Needless to say, he has nerve a-plenty. !Coach.l Honorable Mention-Albin, Centerg H. Mclntyre, Quarterback, THE TALISIVIAN 63 A REVIEW OF Tl-IE FOOTBALL SEASON OF 1913. On September 13th, we journeyed across the country in automobiles to the city nf Oakland. There we met our first victims, but we did not beat them by a big score. It was the first game for some of the players. They were a little nervous and not in good football trim, but the green ones showed up better than expected, both touchdowns being made by Pounds, playing his first game. Although our goal line was never in danger, we had a hard time i11 defeating the gritty Oakland team. Our opponents fought desperately to keep us from scoring. but they were unable to stop the fierce line plunges of Pounds, and the long runs made by Ogden in the backfield. Both touchdowns were made by Pounds, one in the first quarter, and the other followed in the third. The work of the line was good, consider- ing the inexperience of some of the players, and the backfield tore thru the Oakland line for neat gains. The score was not as large as the Newman rooters had expected, but they were content with a victory. The Oakland rooters were delighted at holding us to so close a game, for we had buried them the year before! Clements, at end, starred for the Oakland team, and Pounds showed up best for Newman.

B.-Akers fCapt.l THE SIDELL GAME September 27th brought the Sidell team and several rooters down to our little city. They were confident of winning, having counted the score several times, and just before leaving home they announced their fond intentions of wiping us off the map. But a second thought should have been taken, for there were twenty men in suits for Newman that were anxious to play. The weather was ideal for a football game, and a large crowd was in attendance. They started the game with a rush, but were soon overcome by the Newman Giants The Sidell line was utterly powerless before the fierce line plunges of the Newman backfield. Pounds and Ogden, at the halfback positions, were in tip-top form, and they opened the eyes of the Sidell team. Ogden circled the Sidell ends for long gains almost at will, and Pounds went thru their line as if it were paper. Newman piled up touchdown after touchdown until the final score wa.s 31 to 0. Our goal line was in danger only once, when in the fourth quarter Sidell took a decided brace and advanced the ball to within fifteen yards of our goal line: but there the Newman line strengthened, and the charges were stopped. Owens, halfback, was the bright light for the Sidell team, making many spectacular plays. The game showed great improvement on the part of the Newman team, and it put a hole in the fond hopes held by Sidell. Tl-IE CHARLESTON NORMAL GAME It was not our custom to play teams on days other than Saturdays, but as October 2nd was a holiday, it being the Horse Show, we booked a game with the Charleston 64 Tl-IE TALISMAN second team. They came in automobiles and arrived in the city about three o'clock. There was a large crowd out to see us smother the confident Normal team. The game was a farce, Newman piling up score after score, until in the latter part of the game all the subs were given a chance to show their ability. Some of them showed up exceptionally well. Mclntyre at quarter and Stout at tackle starred. Our team worked together splendidly. The line held solidly against 'the Charleston team, and our backfield ripped thru their line time and time again for long gains, and for many long end runs. The forward passes were worked to perfection against the Normal bunch, for long gains. Our goal was in danger only once, in the fourth quarter when every sub was sent in, Mclntyre taking Akers, place at quarterback. The Charleston team took a sudden brace, and determined to make at least one touchdown. They tore thru our green line for consistent gains until we were forced back close to our own goal line. When their opportunity at last came to score, they fumbled, and Myers, up to his old tricks, fell on the ball. By a series of line plays the ball was carried far down into their territory. The final score was 51 to 0, and, as a Charleston player was heard to remark, The little devils were too fast, for Ogden circled their ends repeatedly for long gains, and Tresenriter tore up their line plays. lt served as a good practice game to start us off on the confident Champaign team. Tl-IE Cl-IAMPAIGN GAME On Saturday morning, October 4th, automobiles very highly decorated with red and white 'ribbons began driving into town from Champaign. The machines continued to arrive until about two o'c1ock, when they all joined in a grand parade of their own, and drove over our little city singing school songs, and laughing and joking about the big score which they were going to pile up. But they sang a different song and had a changed expression when the game was over. They had good reasons to be confident, for they had a large, husky bunch of players, averaging 160 pounds, and they certainly made a fine appearance when they first went on the field, and they might well be proud of their team. The game started with Champaign kicking off to Newman, and the ball was carried to the center of the field. By a series of successive line plunges the ball was carried to the forty yard line, and then Ogden showed them a trick about football. The signal was given for him to carry the ball around end, and with lightning speed he circled the entire Champaign team, and carried the ball forty yards for the first touchdown. 'This was the prettiest run ever made on the Morrow Field. His speed was wonderful and his dodging excellent. NVink1er failed to kick goal and the quarter ended 6 to U in our favor. The second quarter started with a rush and was hard fought all the way thru, both teams struggling to keep the ball out of their territory. With Groves and Moore in the backfield Champaign ripped thru our line for consistent gains. until finally they scored a touchdown in the latter part of the quarter. Groves kicked goal and the half ended with the score, Champaign 7, Newman 6. Newman kicked off to Champaign and the third quarter started with a jump. Time after time Quarterback Moore directed plays at our line, hunting for a weak spot, but it held like a stone wall, and they were not able to advance the ball very far into our territory. ln the latter part of this period the Champaign backfield fumbled, and then Tresenriter came into his own. Quick as a flash he was on the ball and fat a very laborious gaitl went plowing down the field. It was a pretty sight. Nearly the whole Newman team was between Shady and the Champaign players. They came following along behind and the ball was carried forty yards for a touchdown, which won the game. H. B. Smith kicked goal, and at the end of the quarter the score stood 13 to 7 in our favor. The last quarter was a tug of war for both teams. Feeling the bitter sting of an THE TALISIVIAN 65 unexpected defeat, Champaign played desperately. Moore and Groves plowed thru our line in such fierce plunges that at times it threatened to overcome our little 'tgiantsf' but the line, struggling heroically against the fierce onslaughts of the opposing back- field, was able to keep them from scoring. Near the last of the game one of their men got loose and, with great speed, started down the field. It looked like a sure touch- down for them, but Pounds was after the man and he made a long flying tackle which saved the game. Peck plugged their line for consistent gains, and Ogden made spec- tacular end runs, but we were not able to score on them again, and the greatest game ever played on Morrow Field ended with the score, Newman 13, Champaign 7. THE IVIATTOON GAME On October 11th we met and defeated the husky team from Mattoon. They cer- tainly ll'l2tdG a fine appearance on the field, the team and subs averaging 159 pounds. Many of the rooters were somewhat scared of the outcome, but the team was playing at its best, and won, 6 to 0. Until after the Newman game, Mattoon was in line for State honors, and this made her all the more determined to put us out of the race. The grounds were very soft, which was a great disadvantage to us 011 account of our light weight, and it also hindered speed. The game was hard fought all the way thru and was marked by many thrilling incidents. The first quarter did not see either side score, and the ball was kept in about the center of the field most of the time. Mattoon started things off lively in the second quarter. By some beautifully executed forward passes and hard line plunges the ball was advanced to within two yards of the goal line. But, playing in its old style, our line held like a stone wall for four downs, when we punted out of danger. No scoring was done in either this or the next quarter. ln the last quarter both teams put forth a frantic effort to break the tie. Pounds came into his own and tore thru their line for a touchdown, which won the game. It was a hard defeat for the Mattoon team, but they took it in a true sportsman- like manner, and not as Champaign did. THE TUSCOLA GAME On October 18th we once again met our old rivals from Tuscola. In spite of the fact that it rained all day preceding the game, which kept many people from coming from the neighboring towns, a crowd of S00 fans witnessed the game. It was the first time we had met the Tuscola team since 1911, ugheii we suffered two defeats at their hands. In 1910 we beat them at Tuscola, but the year befo1'e that they beat us, S to G. This year, rivalry was stronger than ever, because they were deteremined to stop us on our steady march to the championship. v . The game opened by Newman kicking off to Tuscola., and hard line plunges made by Stalker and Roe enabled them to make first down three times in succession. By this time Newman woke np, the line braced and held for downs. Then the ball was advanced to near the center of the field. From this time on it was a tug of war, both teams fighting desperately to score, but the quarter ending with no tallies being made. The second quarter started with renewed vigor, and it was at this time that Ogden got into his right form. iiVith great speed, which far outclassed Stalker, the speedy Tuscola halfback, he circled the end for a thirty yard run to the goal line. Attempt at goal failed. In less than four minutes he repeated the act, making another long run for a touchdown, Stalker trailing behind. These two spectacular runs won the game, and for making the first one, Ogden was presented with a new football suit by R. A. Skinner. H. B. Smith kicked goal, making the score 13 to 0. Newman kicked to Tus- cola and their backfield tore thru our line for consistent gains, Roe making a brilliant run off left tackle for a touchdown. The try at goal failed, and the half ended, New- man 13, Tuscola 6. 66 THE TALISMAN The second half started with Tuscola kicking off to Newman. The ball was carried to the center of the field, and then advanced into Tuscola's territory. H. B. Smith made a nice drop kick from the thirty yard line, making the score 16 to 6. Moss was playing fullback and, this being his first game at full, he deserves especial praise for his excellent line plunging and leading interference. The third quarter ended with the score 16 to 6. The fourth quarter was a fierce struggle, each team doing its utmost to score. Roe and Stalker made powerful line plunges, but our line played together a.nd held like a stone wall. The work of Tresenriter, McCown, and Mclntyre was faultless, and they are largely responsible for the victory. The ball was kept in Tuscola's territory most of the time, but we were not able to score on them again. Pounds, Ogden, Akers, and Smith made a backfield unequaled by any high school team in the State. The Tuscola team could not stop their line plunges or fathom the formations. The great game ended with Newman once more being victorious over our hardest rivals, and made us one step farther toward the championship goal. The umpire and referee were secured from the James Millikin University, and their judgment was square as could be. W'e gave the visitors the church basement to dress in, and they were delighted with our treatment. We thus returned good for evil. TI-IE BEMENT GAME This game made our seventh victory with only two touchdowns having been scored against us. The Bement team was husky, but they did not know the finer points of the game and we easily defeated them. The game started with Bement kicking off to Newman and they were unable to hold us for downs. Forward passes were worked successively for long gains, and the backfield made consistent gains thru the line. The first half ended with the score 19 to 0 in our favor. In the second half Newman kicked off to Bement and held for downs. By forward passes and long runs by the backfield two more touchdowns were made in the third quarter. The fourth quarter started with almost a complete change of men, all the subs being given a chance to play. By hard line plunges, a trick play and a beautifully executed forward pass, two more touchdowns were made, making the final score 45 to 0. TI-IE SULLIVAN GAME. On November 1st we chartered a special train and the team, with one hundred rooters, went to Sullivan. NVe were inet by the Sullivan band and a large crowd of enthusiastic rooters, They seemed to think that we were going to be easy to beat, for they looked us over with a smileg but later that smile turned to a frown. They had also hired a University coach, which made them doubly confident. We went out to the field at 2:30, and found a gridiron which resembled a hog lot. There were many big holes where hogs had rooted, and it was ba1'e of any grass. Added to these disadvan- tages the field was very wet and slippery. Newman kicked off to Sullivan, and although they were very much heavier, we held them for downs on their forty yard line. Two line plunges and an end run by Ogden gave us the first touchdown in three minutes. The second touchdown was made bv Ogden from the thirty yard line by a wide end run. Newman received and was downed on our thirty-five yard line. Two plunges by Smith and Pounds netted five yards, and then Ogden made a sixty yard run for a touchdown. This was the prettiest run ever made on the Sullivan gridiron. The first quarter ended with the score 19 to 0. Sullivan came back in the second quarter with some of her old pep and fought stubbornly against the charges of the giants.'l They had now learned to watch Ogden and he was not able to break loose in this quarter. Newman tried hard to score, but Sullivan had braced wonderfully, and the half ended 19 to 0. Tl-IE TALISMAN 67 Newman started the second half with almost a complete change in the lineup. The subs played good ball but the Sullivan team was on its toes and the thi1'd quarter ended with no more scores being made. Don Smith tore thru the Sullivan line for fifteen yards for a touchdown. The attempt at goal failed. The Sullivan team took another brace and advanced the ball to our two yard line. Then it was the giants, H time to brace and we held them for six trials, and then carried the ball far down the field. The game ended with the score 25 to 0, and with the Sullivan rooters very tame. THE LOVINGTON GAME In spite of the fact that it snowed all morning and most of the afternoon, a la1'ge crowd witnessed this game. Some of the high school girls braved the storm to help cheer us on to victory. The Lovington team made a fine appearance on the field, being all about the same size and weight. We discovered something about them besides a good appearance before the game was over, for they were good players. Capt. Akers won the toss and chose to receive. Lovington kicked off, and the ball was carried to her forty yard line. By hard line plunges made by our backfield the ball was carried to the twe11ty yard line. By one of our smooth trick plays, H. 13. Smith made a pretty run for a touchdown. D. Smith kicked goal, and the quarter ended with the score T to 0. The second quarter started with the ball in Newman's possession and it was steadily advanced to the ten yard line. Pounds got in his right form and made a brilliant line plunge for a touchdown. The punt out failed, the half ending 13 to O. The second half started with Newman kicking off to Lovington, and they were downed on their fifteen yard line. Newman held for downs and Lovington punted to Akers, who was downed on their forty-five yard line. Kyde, fullback, broke thru their line for a pretty forty yard run. D, Smith made an end run for a touchdown, Gregg kicked goal, and the third quarter ended 20 to 0. The regulars were replaced by subs and we were not able to score in the last quarter, although the game ended with the ball on Lovington's fifteen yard line. At times Lov- ington played in smashing style. Once when we had advanced the ball to within five yards of a touchdown they held for downs and then tore thru our line for many neat gains till they carried it to the center of the field. N Tl-IE BLOOMINGDALE GAME On November 21st, we journeyed to the hills of Indiana, where we met by far the strongest team that We played this year. The close score, 7 to speaks for itself. This game gave us a clear title to the championship of Western Indiana. XVe have the honor of being the only school that beat the husky Quaker lads. On the field they made a grand appearance, resembling a minor college team. The team averaged 171 pounds, and they had five men nearly as fast as Ogden. Their fullback, right halfback, and quarterback would be a credit to any minor college team. Their backfield averaged 180 pounds and it was about as fast as -ours. Their line was like a stone wall. VVhen the little giants landed in Bloomingdale we saw a large number of smiling faces, Some people laughed heartily at them little kids and we were the joke of the town before the game. They secured us as a practice game before their big game on the next day, but as soon as our game was over they made hasty steps to call the big game off. Newman kicked off to Bloomingdale and held them for downs. Ogden made a brilliant run for a touchdown and for the first time Bloomingdale began to realize what she was up against. It was Newman's time to smile now and the Bloom- ingdale rooters stood with their mouths open. Gregg made a fine goal kick, which kept the game from being a tie, the quarter ending with the score 7 to O. The second quar- ter was hard fought thruout but neither side scored. The big 192-pound fullback and I 68 THE TALISMAN' their right halfback made terrific line plunges, but the giants were right at their shoe strings, the tackling of Myers being equal to that 'of any college man. The third quarter started and Bloomingdale was getting desperate. The kidsi' whom they had made so much fun of, were outplaying them all the time, and they were determined to do something. Their right halfback made a terrible line plunge and for the only time in the game did he get thru our whole team. With almost superhuman strength the big Hoosier upset several men and went plowing down the field thirty yards for a touchdown. Things were beginning to look grave for the Newman team about this time, but the rooters were with us all the time and never once lost hope of a victory. They chose to punt out, and Pounds saved the day by beating the ball out and preventing the Bloomingdale man from catching it. The quarter ended 7 to 6. Feeling deeply the sting of a defeat, the big Bloomingdale team came back stronger than ever in the fourth quarter, and it was a battle royal. Time after time they threatened to overpower our team, but every man struggled heroically against the fierce charges, and the ball was kept out of our territory. The game ended with the ball in our possession on their twenty yard line. This was a death blow to the Bloomingdale team, for they were anxious to clean up the Champions of Illinois, but they were sadly disappointed and had to take the bitter pill. Their treatment was very courteous and they gave us a square deal on the field. 4 THE. TI-IANKSGIVING GAME Newman High closed the championship schedule with this game, having XVO11 eleven games without suffering a defeat or a tie. It was an extra good game on the part of the Newman players, because this was the last game for most of the team. The Chris- man team was large and full of grit, but with more speed and a better knowledge of football our team easily defeated them. The backfield plowed thru their line for gains all the time, and forward passes were worked with good success. The subs were played in the last half, and they kept up the scoring record of the regulars. Only once did Chrisman show any football that would compare with ours, never getting close to our goal line but for this one time. In the fourth quarter they started a rush toward our goa.l line and advanced the ball to within one yard of a touchdown. Our line braced and held them for four trials, the ball being advanced to Within six inches of our goal line. XVe got the ball then and with our usual style ca1'ried it far down the field. The Chrisman team were disap- pointed in not being able to score on us, but like ten other teams they had to swallow the pill. THE TALISMAN N. T. H. S. 1914 BASEBALL SQUAD SCHEDULE AND SCORES l April 4 .................... Chrisman, 145 Newman April 11 .... ..... N ewmzm, 63 Sidell, 5 l 70 TI-IE TALISIVIAN TI-IE CHRISTMAS GAME. The baseball season opened for the N. T. H. S. with a game at Chrisman, on April 4th. The large score indicates that it was a poor game, but there were streaks of good playing. The feature of the game was the team work of the Chrisman infield, who gave Pitcher Moss excellent support. The game opened with Newman taking the bat. Moss, pitcher for the opponents, was in good form, and only one of the three batters reached first base, and that was as far as he got. Chrisman then took the bats. Payne opened with a single, and stole second. Newlin struck out, and Minnick singled, then stole second. The next three batters slugged the ball into the outfield, and five runs were scored. Erp reached third on an error, but was put out there. W'atson hit a single, and Dusthiner struck out. Dennis came to bat for Newman, but was caught out at first. The next two men up struck out, and the first half of the second ended without any of our men reaching second. Payne opened for Chrisman, and pounded Kyde for a two base hit. Newlin struck outg Minnick knocked a single and reached second on an error, Payne scoring. Moss struck out and Kerrick made a single. Dins- more struck out, and the inning wound up with two runs more for Chrisman. Burgett came to bat for Newman, and struck out. Pounds was put out at the first sack. VV. McCown changed the program by hitting out a hot one, but he was caught trying to steal second. Erp lifted the ball for a single. Watson and Dusthiner struck ont. Payne was caught out at first. Kyde came to hat for Newman and clouted the ball for a clean hit, but was put out trying to reach second. The next two batters singled, but the whip of Moss caught them before they reached second. Payne came to bat and was put out at first. Newlin hit a two-bagger, but was put out at third. Minnick knocked a single, and Moss followed his example. Kyde struck out Kerrick, and Newman took the bats. Dennis and the Smiths made a stagger at hits but they never saw first. Dinsmore opened for Chrisman with a two-bagger and reached third on an overthrow. Erp struck out. Xllatson singled, and Dinsmore scored. Dusthiner hit a hot one to short, but did not reach first. Burgett hit a single and stole second. Pounds and F. McCown struck out. Kyde hit a single, and in some unaccountable way, Burgett scored a run for Newman. Shephard was caught out at first. Dennis was put. in the box and Kyde went to second. W. McCown was relieved of his duties behind the bat, and D. Smith took his place. Shephard went to third, WV. MoCown to the outfield, and I-I. Smith to first sack. Payne smashed the ball to the outfield for a two base hit. Newlin hit out a single Ellld reached second on an overthrow. Minnick struck out. Moss swatted the ball for a two base hit, and Newlin and Payne scored. Dennis struck out Kerrick and Dinsmore. Shephard was next up for Newman, and he singled. Dennis was put out at first and Shephard at second. H. Smith hit a single, and D. Smith followed suit. Burgett struck out, and Chrisman took the bats. Payne struck out. Erp hit a two-bagger and reached third on an overthrow. VVatson struck out. Erp stole home. Dusthiner hit a foul and was caught out by Dennis. Pounds came to bat and struck out. F. McCown hit out a two-bagger. Kyde fol- lowed with a two base hit and F. McCown scored. Shephard hit out a long single and reached second on an overthrow, Kyde scoring. Dennis and I-I. Smith were caught out at first. Newlin and Minnick struck out. Moss hit a two-bagger. Kerrick followed with a long single and reached second on an overthrow. Moss scored. Dinsmore was caught out at first. H. Smith came to bat and struck out, D. Smith and Burgett following in his tracks. The game ended with the score 14 to 3 against us, but we are still game, and when we secure a return game with them we hope to change defeat into victory. This was the first game of the season for us and lack of training and experience was the cause of the defeat. Had our pitchers been given good support the game would have been much closer. Kyde and Dennis pitched good ball, but lack of support caused THE TALISIVIAN 7I their defeat. They kept a total of seventeen 1nen from reaching first, While only twelve of ours failed to find the first sack, which shows they outpitched their opponents. For Chrisman, Newlin, on first base, was the star. He is tall and is a shark at pulling down the high ones. lt was his star playing that kept so many of our men from reaching second. Kerrick at shortstop and Minnick at third base did excellent work. We have some good material, and under Prof. E. O. May we hope to develop a good team and beat Chrisman in the return game, TI-IE SIDELL GAME Once more the Sidell bunch invaded our city and as usual carried a defeat home with them. lt was not football this time, however, but the National Game at which we beat them. There was an awfully high wind which made it very disagreeable for the fans, so there was not a large crowd present. The game was a very close one as the score 6 to 5 would show. Dennis pitched for Newman and he was in excellent form. His opponent was Alkire, and although a good pitcher, he was far outclassed by Truman. In the first inning each team scored one, Miller making a run for Sidell, and Kyde for Newman. In the next inning Dennis tightened up and with the exception of passing one man the Sidell men went out as soon as they came to bat. Newman broke the tie, lil. Smith and lilurgett each scoring a run, making the score 3 to 1. NV. Stockton made a run for Sidell in the third, and Newman failed to score when she came to bat. No lallies were made by Sidell in the fourth, and Newman led off with one run, this making us two ahead. The fifth inning was an exhibition of good baseball, not a man passing first for either team. Newman failed to score in the sixth and Sidell tied the score when runs were made by Vaughn and D. Stockton. Sidell forged ahead in the seventh when WV. Stockton made a run, but Newman tied it up when Kyde made a two base hit and scored Pounds. The next three Sidell men failed to connect with the ball, and Newman broke the tie again when Shephard scored. Sidell could not get past the first sack in the last inning, and the game ended 6 to 5. A total of three hits were made off Dennis and five off Alkire. Dennis passed four men and Alkire one. Doctor Gillogly and Doctor Baldwin were the officials and they made good decisions all the way through. BASEBALL A meeting of the baseball enthusiasts was called early in the season and Mr. May was chosen Faculty manager, and Richard Shepherd student manager. The call for candidates was issued the last week in March and thirteen men responded. They practiced in rather an indifferent way until April 4th and then the awful Chrisman game. That hard defeat seemed to give the team new life, and they began practicing hard, determined to beat Sidell. They scraped the diamond and leveled it, making us a fine field to boast of. Sidell came d-own on April 25th and went home with a 6 to 5 defeat. At the time The Talisman goes to press we have played only two games, but the manager has a long schedule ahead which includes some ofthe best teams in the State. The D1'0SD9CtS for a good team are bright, under the excellent coaching of Mr. May. 72 THE TALISMAN 6 H o .- ,f nf! J y TRACK Track enthusiasm does not run very high in our school and only three men are trying for honors. At the time The Talisman goes to press no meets have been staged, but the Charleston meet is scheduled for May 9th, and the State meet at Champaign. for May 16th. The team will be sent to both places, and they have high hopes of winning honors in both meets. The three men who are training are Boyer, Parr and NVinkler.
