Kiddie proved the main bulwarl-t of the baclclield and also a consistent ground-gainer. Kidwell pushed over 'our two touchdowns against V. E. S., and repeatedly tore through the enemy line for gains during they season. We, lose him next year and predict a brillianticareer in college for him. 1 JAMES STUART BARNES Subslilule Center SL l..ouis 'failed to respond to the' first call for recruits but was taken from the ranks of the junior Varsity into the regular line.

I-le is also numbered among those expected to return in '28. HENRY MURRAY WHITE I End I Playing a fast and hard-tackling game, Burk White held down the wing position in an able and expert manner. We regret that White will not be with the Lemon and Black next year, as the team will feel the loss of this splendid end. JAMES WELLMAN ROSS Tackle n I Jim, a member of last year's squad, filled the tackle berth with sterling ability and the whole student body was glad that he earned the coveted monogram.
