The North Division victory was uable man for the team next year. ENTHROP For his size and weight there is not partly due to his ability to break up plays and recover fumbles. He will make a val il D end in the State that could come up to A'Mag. Light on his feet, dead on W'EiND T In the two years in which Hub played on the team, he made an enviable record. From the opening of the season till the last game had been played Hub could be relied upon to keep in condition and play a strong, steady game. Few, indeed, were the gains made through his position, and many a time has a hard rush been repelled for a loss. We hope to see 4'Hub in uniform next fall. BELDEN Jack played a Wonderfully offensive game at half-back. At interference he was excellent. His quickness and sure- ness in carrying the ball were unsur- passed. Jack will be a valuable asset to the team next year. tackles, and good on running down loi punts, '4Mag was a valuable addition the team.

At running down punts a11d get- ting away with forward passes O'Donnell showed real class. He played a star game at North Side Milwaukee, and it was largely through his etforts that we were victorious. MARTIN No n1a11 on the team will be nlissed next year as will Gus, the old reliable tackle. YVhenever an opponent's rush was repelled for a loss Gus was sure to be at the bottom of the serinnnage. Ile had a reputation for outplaying nien twiee his size. Gus ended his two years of playing in a burst of glory. COLLINS L'Knoeker e11ded his two years of foot- ball by playing better than ever. In tackle plays he could always he relied on for a good gain. At taekling and break- ing up plays 6'Knoeker was superb, and will be niissed in 1912. CHARMOCK Heavy and fast.

TOWNSEN D AIM was injured early in the season and did not get into thc game till we played North Division. In this game, however, he made a creditable showing, which marks him as valuable material for the coming season. Al played at half- back. cv CAHOON What Cooneyl' lacked in beef he made up in speed and headwork. His long runs featured in almost every game. His Hery attacks were the dread of his opponents. At defensive work he was unsurpassed. Cahoon will probably be seen at half-back next year. THE GAME WITH SOUTH DIVISION The game we played with South Di- vision High School was probably the hard- est and .most exciting game of the Whole season. It was the third game on the scheduleg so the team was all ready to do its best. At about one o'clock the Milwaukee school team came in on the Chicago and Milwaukee Electric Railway, bringing a good bunch of rooters with it. They were met by manager Hood and several of our players and were taken to the Y. M. C. A. to get dressed for the game. After pre- paring for the battle both teams boarded a car for the park. The afternoon was ideal for a good game, no wind and not too warm. At promptly three-fifteen the teams trotted on the field for a little warming up, our team being followed up with cheers that completely drowned the opposing cheers. At last the referee's whistle sounded and the teams took their positions, Ra- cine defending the north goal. Again came the whistle, giving the signal to startg and Jack Belden gave the ball a neat kick to about South Division 's 30- yard line. where it was grabbed by the quarter-back. Ile did not go very far, however. before he was dropped in his tracks by one of our linemen. Both teams lined up quickly and South Division tried an end run, but it was of no avail. The second down resulted in the same way. 4'Punt forn1ation,'y called the quarter, and a pretty 40-yard punt Went sailing toward our goal. Jones, our fullback, gathered it in Without much trouble and started to run it down the field. After making about ten yards he was downed, and Al XVright called the signals for a buck across tackle, but we made nothing. Our second down gained us about five yards, so HAI' decided to punt. The game progressed this same way for three pe- riods and Racine found she must do some- thing in the last period to win the game. Finally the last period started. South Division seemed to have added much more strength to its team during the short rest, and the players rushed the ball down to our five-yard line. Things looked pretty black for us with South Division's first down on our five-yard line. The quarter called for a crossbuck play and it would have worked if the halfback had 11ot fum- bled. But our team was not made up of sleepy players, as was proved when Mitch- ell. our right end, dived head-first under the feet of about fifteen or sixteen men after the fumbled ball. t'First down, Racine, called the ref- eree. This put new life into our team and we determined to do our best. Just at this point something happened that great- ly handicapped us: Cahoon, our star half-
