WOODWARD, altho a light guard is always there. When anything comes his way, it had no hope of escaping from him. Ripping holes in the line was his main point.

He proved a benefit to the team. ROGERS, Left Guard was good in his position. His weight made it hard for an opponent to get past him. COCK RAN, at I .eft Tackle showed market! improvement over former work. He was an addition to the team and always could be depended upon in his position.

CAPTAIN FIELDS played end in '09, next he secured Quarter-Back position. In 1910 he was elected captain. His men had a successful season. In 1911 he was re-elected captain. When the team needs a score Fields is the man to win it. FAXON has played Right End for two years. His tackling is a feature of the game and he makes great interference for his back-field men. KUKUK proved himself worthy of his position by his fast sprinting and fine blocking. His drop-kicking was fine. KAISER “the old stone wall playing at Right-End was all right. Whenever a Full-Back play was coming his way Kaiser was there to tear a hole big enough for his Full-Back to come through. CASTLE playing near “old stone wall” Kaiser would tear things up. Castle’s blocking saved many touchdowns.

“BILLY” CREATES A NEIGHBORHOOD DISTURBANCE ,. “funt Sorilla, Aunt Sorilla. Tommy Jones has a new goat!” shouted little Lawrence Smith as he rushed into his aunt s kitchen. ... “Sakes alive, what won’t that pesky child get next, he keeps this neighborhood in such a state that one’s life and property are in danger.” And well might the poor lady complain because the same Tommy Jones had made life miserable for the long suffering neighbors with his numerous pets and she. poor soul, lived next door to him. h irst it was a mongrel pup. This specimen hen entered her summer kitchen one morning, stolen the chops for dinner and upset her kettle of soft soap. Also every egg her hens laid was broken and the inside removed The poor pup got the blame for this as well. ext it was a great striped cat that ate all her young chickens. Then Tommy had added a garter-snake to his collection. Stripes as he was called got loose and Tommy was disconsolate until Aunt Sorilla nearly stepped on the reptile on her back porch, thereby receiving such a shock that she was compelled to stay in bed the rest of the day and that night her dreams were hideous with crawly things. As soon as she was able she complained to 1 ommy s mother who looked upon her only son as an angel. On this occasion poor Tommy acted the soul of injured innocence, so Aunt Sorilla vowed she would stand it without another word or move. And now a goat! For two days she saw nothing of the beast and she began to have hopes that this one was not so bad. w— 1 ... . .... cases and you in my yard !” She left the rest to Billy’s imagination. The next morning she heard a commotion among her chickens. Hurrying to the door she saw the goat knock over the last chicken coop and with a “Baa” race for home and safety. When order was nearly restored she straightened up only to see the goat coming toward her with lowered head. Being so frightened the thot of the house never entered her mind. Instead she clutched her skirts and hobbled around the barn as fast as her rheumatism permitted. Lpon rounding a corner she looked back. Billy was still on the trail. Rheumatism forgotten she flew around the next corner and ran for the house. Billy followed. Just as the door slammed shut she heard other feet and then I ommy Jones voice “Aw, that old maid thot you were going to serve her like the chicken coops and you only wanted to play with her, didn t you Bill.” “Old maid,! huh! play with me! Well I never.” That evening when Mr. Jones came home he found an irate old woman awaiting him. She poured forth her story and he thinking she had been annoyed enough promised to build a yard for Billy. When she stepped out upon the porch a childish voice piped, “Oh pop, if you had only seen her sprint around that barn.” G. H. T2.
