Graduate Athletes i2 5 HEN Bill Knecht bids adieu to his Alma Mater, St. Xavier will lose a great athlete. During his first two years in athletics Bill played sterl- ing football in the private ranks of the blue and white. In 1924 he captained the squad and continued his fine work on the line. He was a great favorite at his school, a hard fighter always, a true sportsman and gentleman. Lowell Baurichter is another man who leaves us this year. Like Captain Knecht, he earned his annual letter in the tackle position, and never failed to show an excellent brand of football. His fidelity in practice and training was always noticeable, a characteristic which was doubtless responsible for his pronounced success. St. Xavier will feel his loss. We take off our hats to Herb Lammers, the plucky little halfback who also completes his studies this year. Herb literally fought his way into the lineup, and proceeded to show Coach Meyer and the populace just precisely what he could do. He is game to the core and as hard, physically, as the proverbial nail. He has the stuff of which gridiron heroes are made. John Murray, completing the quartette of graduate athletes, kept both football and baseball men hustling to hold him out of the game. He worked hard at all practice sessions and was ever ready to step into action at a word from the coach. An extremely likable fellow, Johnny has everything physi- cally and intellectually to recommend a bright future, To these four athletes who gave their finest, we extend the wishes of the men who best knew them, Xavier men, for all that is happiest in life.
