OUR COACH Mr. Andrew has his head in his school work, his heart in his coaching and his hands in his pocket. He is a graduate of the college of Jacksonville Where he earned the title of all-state guard. This secret he has worked in vain to teach his team and although athletics have not been what we could have wished this year, he is entirely blameless.

PERSONNAL OF THE TEAM VALFORD J OHNSON-there are about three things that are ever called Old Reliable a wagon, a tobacco, and a man. The first so called because of its unmeasured dura- tion, second because of its frightful strength, and third be- cause he always does what he sets out to do. Val was so called for all three reasons. Position? Oh, quarter back. We lose him this year. VERNON LAWRENCE- A little of the ol' pep, now, a little o' the ol' pep. The team had confidence in Lawrence and he stuck to the fight in a way that put him in nearly ev- ery game. He will be with us next year. He is absent from the picture on account of illness. He played left half. CLARE MILLIGAN-Clare was a very gritty player. Playing right half. He earned his letter by hard playing, receiving several injuries. He will be missed on next years team. HARRY MCNAMARA-Mack was back again on the job again this year and wound up his last year in a blaze of glory at Prophetstown in the last game with Walnut. He is one of the best and most experienced players that ever play- ed for old P. H. S. When he takes the ball under his wing the opponents wonder how far he will go before they are able to stop him. We lose our full back by Mac being a gradu- ate this year. HOWARD BURDSAL-Burdsal was a hard hitter and a very good tackler. He has had several years of practice and is a sure stop 'em. He was injured in the Walnut game but soon recovered with more fight. What position did he play 'Z Oh yes, center and he has two more years . LUTHER CARLSON-Luke played a good game in defen- sive and offensive at right guard. He was always in the fight and always saw the funny side when he was hurt or bruised. This is his first year. WARREN CURRY-Warren is a good healthy farmer and a hard hitter. Making a good interference as left guard. He has one more year at school. ARNOLD WAITE-There is no place that anyone likes to be better than Waite in foot ball. He played at right tackle and was always in the road of the opponents break- ing plays also furnishing good interference for our team. He is a Sophomore and will help much next year. ROSCOE DAVIES-Rocky is a good helmsman playing at left tackle. Large enough to stop all opponents and make the best interference for the back field. He was injured in the back. He will be missed next year on account of grad- uation. JOHN ADAMS-His motto Die a hero rather than be a coward, and he held to this motto. Playing at right end he was always interfering with his opponents' plays and right there on passes and end runs when his signal was call- ed. John has two more years.
