.-X ; - x k ot- x xirxx r=x xi=x r- The next week saw the “Tigers’' from Hays go clown to defeat before the onslaughts of the Conwaymcn under the weight of three touchdowns. In 1921 Hays defeated S. M. by a score of 14-7 and it was in retaliation for this that the “Irishers” fought. A1 Bahl. showing unusual skill and strength, made 160 yards from scrimmage and one of the touchdowns, playing one of the best offensive games at fullback seen on S. M. field since the days of Langhoff. McPherson came the next week and found us still in the throes of victory and a trifle overconfident, and so with the help of a muddy field they won by a score of 14-12. As a glance at the summary will show S. M. really had the edge, but the “Bulldogs” succeeded in making good use of the odds given them. Again in the mud S. M. wrestled with the Wesleyans and came through with the small end of a 6-0 score. As the men say, “It was some game.” For St. Mary’s Bergman seemed to be the only man capable of keeping his feet for gains. Next came the Washburn game, and following it on Thanksgiving Day was the Alva Normal game. .Elated by the Washburn victory the “Saints” felt too confident and consequently the big jump of the first half went to the opponents and although we came back in the last half with great force and with some terrific line smashes by McDonnell we were unable to gain the lead. The score was 31-19. The final result of the season was four games won and four lost, with our objective games recorded on the credit side.

 MARION BATSON, Captain—“Babe” —St. Mary’s will long remember the brilliant work of her “star tackle. On defense “Babe” was adamant, breaking up the fiercest of plunges, and on offense it was remarkable how he could always make a hole that would insure an advance. Babe modestly avoids publicity, but his sterling character and efficient leadership won him merited recognition. CARLTON, BERGMAN, Captain-Elect—“Gus”—Carl holds down the halfback position with the best of ’em. One look at him in action is enough to convince anyone that he certainly deserved “honorable mention on the All-State Eleven.” A sure tackier, a hard lugger and handy with his punting. Next year is Bcrgie’s last and that he will make the most of it we have no doubt. JOHN ROSE—“Red”—In losing “Red” this year we lose one of the flashiest halfbacks St. Mary’s has had. Fast on his feet, he was a consistent ground-gainer, a true passer, able to drop-kick and punt when necessary and at all times a heady player. In the Washburn game alone “Red” scored three touchdowns. His will be a place hard to fill. CARROLL BOLAND — “Carol”—To realize one’s ambitions after having steadily climbed each step of the ladder is no feat to be sniffed at. This year Carroll became a regular and played in nearly every game. At end, he is at his best. Carroll has one more year with us. LOUIS McEVOY—“Wheat”—Mac belongs with the “all-staters.” He was seen at end this year, and how that boy literally made things “hum.” A sure tackier, on punts he is down, waiting patiently for the man to catch the ball. “Mac” has two more years to carve his name high up in the S. M. hall of fame. EDMUND KIRCHNER — “Eddie”— Eddie used his six feet two to excellent advantage at “end” this year. His work was steady and reliable. He broke up many an attempted gain around end and surely could snare in short passes. Kirch will be with us next year. One Hundred Twenty-Four
