ssssa3 WILLIAM KELLY — “Tiny” — The “Tiny” is short for small elephant. Kelly had the weight and strength that makes a good guard. This was his third year on the team, but owing to injuries received he was so handicapped as at times not to be at his best. EDWARD KENNEDY—“Ed’—Ed’s first year revealed him as a steady backficld man and a peerless leader of interference. We hope he'll W be back next year. JOHN M c DON N ELL—“ M a c”—Th ey call him “Little Mac”—but for a little fellow he sure hits hard. Recall his work in the Turkey Day game? As a general of the team he is without ?. peer. His first year with us, and we hope he’ll be back in September, 1923. RICHARD MEHREN—“Jew”—A true lover of the game, and overbrimming with fight, grit and ability. Though a light man on the scales. “Jew” ably held down the pivot position. His work aga'nst the Emporia Normals was spectacular. ALBERT BAHL—“Al”—“Al” came to St. Mary’s after having been the chief works on the “Hays Catholic College” eleven. He filled the shoes of the famous “Ram” of ’21. His work at fullback inspired confidence and he should prove one of S. M.’s best men in the backficld next year. S A M U EL M c A LL1 ST E R—“ Sa n dy ”— “Big Jim” is the ideal linesman. At tackle “Sandy” was a man to be feared, hard to get by and a terror on offense. With one year to his credit, Sandy will be seen on the S. M. field for two more seasons.

 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

ELMER PORTER—“Potsy”—Elmer was a very valuable man. Either at center or at guard he is hard to beat. He has the weight and knows how to use it. At center his passing was true and swift, and at guard he somehow managed to be always in on every play. “Potsy” has done yeoman service during the past two years. PAUL NOMILE—“Carp”—That Paul lias every quality needed by a lineman, his record at guard shows beyond doubt. He was in every game and his work was brilliant. “Carp” is indeed a fortunate find and will be with us two more years. AVERY BATSON,— “Johnny” — He was in the game with characteristic Batson stamina. Johnny is a freshman, but we forgive him that when we see him fighting on the gridiron. M AURICE MAHONEY—“Red”— “Red” is a real fighter, and one of the most elusive quarter backs seen on the local field this year. As an open field runner, he rates with the best. As a proof of this, need we mention his 80-yard run against Washburn ? PATRICK SLATTERY — “Cuban” — The 1922 club was very fortunate in having the service of “Pat” as manager. Pie was a great asset towards furnishing spirit and support for the team. “Pat” knew his business, as the results attest. RAYMOND GILLIS—“Horse”—Ray played his first year of football and with a skillful mastery of his 240 pounds, he set up an enviable record at guard. If “Horse” shows as much improvement next fall he is certain to be in the ranks of the top-notchcrs. DIAL ANNUAL One Hundred Twenty-Six
