gi etffa - ,gi Sian? . a .--iiii W Football Review of 1910 A successful football season is not necessarily a victorious one. The season of IQIO has been a successful one for several reasons, for the spirit shown by the men on the team, their interest and efforts, and for the loyal support of the alumni and undergraduates. In Mr. Hammet we have one of the best coaches in the country, and with the introduction of his system under his direction Northwestern cannot be kept down. Much credit is due Prof. Fox for enthusing the men with the spirit that wins. We were unfortunate in scheduling a game with Illinois Wesleyan before the men were in physical condition. But the disgrace of this game was more than atoned fora week later when in a well-played game we defeated the University of Iowa by a score of IO-5. Chicago, our next opponentg with the aid of Dame Fortune, was able to celebrate after the game. The consoling feature of this contest was the way our men fought, never weakening, and to the last steadily gaining ground. On October 29th we met Wisconsin at Camp Randall where our team gave a wonderful exhibition of football. After five minutes of play Wisconsin had the ball on our one yard line and iirst down, but the spirit of the team was quickly revived and neither eleven was able to score. The last game of the season with Illinois was a source of disappointment of many of the rooters. Yet when we consider that the down-state eleven were undefeated contenders for the conference championship and that they scored upon the Purple because they possessed the su- preme power of physical perseverance, then we can understand why the score was what it was, -727 to o. a JOHN A.

ef ' ' , .. l j mmm H i a ' A . gli'-li Captain-elect Atwood learned football by four years' experience on the championship St. Johns Military Academy teams, and was captain of the team there in 1907. Ike is 23 years old, is 5 ft., II inches in height, and weighs 185 pounds. His position is right tackle. He displayed good football ability in every game last fall. Like Manley, he is every inch a fighter, and with the strong squad that will be out next year, Captain Atwood should have a winning team. He is a Junior in the Law School. Last fall Zeke Ward completed his third season on the Varsity team. As a punter Ward probably has no equal in the West, and as a line player he always more than held his own. He is 24 years old, 6 ft., 25 inches in his stocking feet, and weighs 193 pounds. He learned football at Onarga, Ill. He will grad- uate this spring in the Liberal Arts course. Northwestern was fortunate in securing the services of Roy Young of the Dental School. Young played two years on the 'Varsity team at the University of Illinois, and was picked for the All-Western team while there. Although weighing 190 pounds and but 5 feet, 82 inches in height, Young was one of the fastest men on the team, and from his tackle position often beat the ends down the Held on punts, where he seldom missed carrying the ball. His home is Springfield, Ill. Hale Parker, center on the team is another man from the Denta School. He received his preparatory football training at Hyde Park where he played four years on their championship team He made the Freshman team at the University of Illinois. On defense Parker was a terror to his opponents, frequently going through the line and stopping plays before they were formed. He is 24 years old, weighs 161 pounds, and is 6 feet, 1 inch tall. He has one more year of football. 'WQEIVFDZ W EiQE15 3 Saws? 34
