The team played six games and won five of them. Two games each were played with Park Falls, Prentice, and Westboro. One game, however, was lost to Park Falls, that being the first game of the season. The team was unusually good, due to the fact that most of the men had had experience in preceeding years. They reported early and worked hard. The team was headed by Bernard Slowey, who starred both in the field and at bat. Th personnel of the team was as follows: Allard I Cat he Sivertsen-third base VanNatta l Lowe 5 C FS Tauschmann-pitcher Christiansen l outfield P'ete1'son-first base Hrdlicka-right-field Wilken J Slowey-second base Niebauer-center-field Brendel-short stop Gronlund-left-field The 1926 team will be headed by Chum Allard, who has held the catcher's position since his freshman year. The experienced material for the 1926 team is not abundant, as a majority of the 1925 team were Seniorsg but with the baseball enthusiasm created by the outcome of the last year's games, there will be many new candidates re- porting. With the support of the older players these new men should develop into a good, fast team. ' At present the schedule for the 1926 season has not been completed.

A hundred million feet of pine cum forth From the pyramid forty on the River Round As mighty a yield, as ever was found. The ciew was so large it worked in threes, Not to mention the fourth, who were off on sprees. The cook had troubles of his own, To feed the thousands made him g'l'O2lll. A crew of seven men with wheel-barrows Shot thro the camp like Indian arrows, Wheelin' prune-stones to the dump. The cook-stove kep' them on the jump, Clearin' a forty of wood every week To cook the food they all did eat. The pan-cake question Paul revolved And in this manner it was solved: The stove-top, the size of a skatin' rink Was greased up in every chink By cookees, who each strapped to his boots A ham, and over the stove he scoots. The batter was mixed up on the roof And shot through a hose-we have the proof The soup was cooked in the big' hot spring And handed out to the men, with a fling. That's the truth, and 'taint no bunk, About the way they et and drunk. Eliunthall Continued -190711 Page 556 The big' game of the .season was with Park Falls. It had been anticipated that Park Falls would walk away with the game. Phillips surprised all by out-playing their team for the first three quarters and losing the game by one point. The closing game with Westboro was easy. The entire second team was used and showed real promise as football players. There were no outstanding stars during the season. The most consistent work was done by Captain Peterson and Sellers in the back field. Line men who deserve special mention are Rundquist, Christiansen, Jackson, and Seeburger. Thirteen regulars will graduate in 1926. The new material is light, but should develop into a fast team. If the men, who could be trained as players, will report next fall, the 1926 team should be a winner. -31 Ig..
