The Sabre “Ben” THORNTON, Guard Weight, 154 pounds; height, 5 ft., 8 in. Not to be outdone by Collier, along came Thornton to show that they play football in the army, too. Using his experience in the U. S. cav- alry to good advantage, Ben employed all kinds of tactics to outwit his man. Although without a sabre, his charges were powerful and the scrim- mage line was for him a skirmish line on which he deployed and always fought a bitter battle with the enemy. Haven, Tackle Weight, 167 pounds; height, 6 ft., 1 in. Although not always starting the game, Haden nearly always finished it in good fashion. When- ever called upon to take his place in a tackle posi- tion, he responded with a will, and the result was a much strengthened line. Haden at no time stood out above his team-mates, but his hard, consistent playing made him invaluable to the Lemon and Black eleven. “The Scrubs” In reviewing the accomplishments and successes of a football team, few people stop to think what it is that has made these possible. Reasons commonly ascribed are good coaching, good material and good teamwork. How many of us mete out the praise justly and give due credit to the “under dogs’—the scrubs? Too much cannot be said of this bunch of fighters, who always presented stiff oppo- sition to the varsity without receiving the latter’s glory. With nothing but hard knocks to look forward to, they gave all that they had willingly and unselfishly. Without this aggregation, there would have been no varsity, and no other individual, or group of individuals, can boast of its importance in the development of the R. M. A. football team any more than can the scrubs. Page eighty-nine
