WILLIAMS, JOHN- Dupe. Williams, although he was an in- experienced quarter back, John soon proved that he was an able Held gen- eral. He used his head as well as his strength to lead the team to victory. He was reputed to be one of the best high school passers the school has had. Many times his accurate passes helped the team to score many long gains. John's loss to the team next year will be felt very much. JANDT, ALVIN- .lsndt. jandt played guard, he was a little hard to get started-but when he did start he was on the offensive side. ERSKINE, JAMES- Honey. Honey was in a football uniform for the first time, but he proved to be the kind that is hard to beat out of his place. Although very light, he had grit and daring. Honey will be back next year. FRITZ, MARCELLUS- Celly. Celly was another veteran whose willingness to work helped Seguin to victory. Fritz played a good tackle position and was known to be able to open the line. He will also be back next year. ERSKINE, ZAN- Flo. Flo was captain of the team and due to his ability the team showed per- fect co-operation. Flo was a hard work- er and when he hit the line it meant that he was going through. He was the star end. He could grab passes out of the air under any conditions. This is Flo's last year and we are sure that his leadership will be missed.
