£ ? Ctt t (■■CHI ANSKY JUNIOR COLLEGE The Northern College basketball team easily defeated Phoe- nix College Bears in a fast but loosely played game on the local floor. Coach Jessiippe used the first team men only a short time in the second and third quarters. Every man on the squad was given a chance to plav, and all showed marked improvement in handling the ball. The Bears shot at random, and their shots were wild. How- ever, they played a fast game. The final score was 29-15. £ l ' 26

Xa Cuesta o-ainer and more than once thrilled the crowds with long runs. Injuries handicapped him a good part of the season. Jack Wilson. Jack, Halfback. When it comes to fighting spirit, Jack is a hard one to beat. He is a bear for punishment and was one of the big mainstays of the backfield. He was as consistent a ground gainer and the hardest tackier on the team. Melvin Rushing, Mel, Fullback. Mel was our other all-state man. He was as hard a line plunger as the school has known. Small but mighty and a sure tackier. Cleon Etter, Red, Tackle and Guard. Red was the hardest fighting man on the squad and when not laid up by bad legs was a real asset to the team. We hope that next year Red will come into his own. Ray McCaughey, Mac, Tackle. Mac got a late start which interferred somewhat with his playing but after getting started he finished the season in whirlwind fashion. He was one of the lightest men on the line but was a fighter on both offense and defense. Andrew Isaacson, Andy, End. This was Andy ' s first year in the line but he showed that with a little more experience he will make one of the best ends in the state. He fights from the first whistle to the last. Jack Heckethorn, Jack, End. This was also Jack ' s first year at end. He was a fast man down the field and hard tackier. Jack will long be remembered by his dive in the pond for a touchdown during the Normal-University game. Harry Stevens, Hoddy, Quarterback. Hoddy was handi- capped all season b y injuries, but when in shape was one of the fighters who always held up the spirit of the team. l. ' -Jcji .iriiSiti. F i f t y - T w o A - S J 2 6Jf

-II 1+ Xa Cuesta GILA The Lumberjacks added another victory to their Hst when they defeated the academy by the close score of 23-21. The score was a tie at the half, but in the third quarter, after Coach Jessuppe had given the boys one of his little speeches, they seemed to play better. They did not at any time through the game show the playing ability which we know them to possess. 3. f l - - - - • g jg.iq26 I ' i t I y - I ' ' (. u I
