R. W. Tidrick has played tackle for four years. His weight, quickness and knowledge of the game makes it impossible for a man to outplay him. Mr. Tidrick was former captain of a winning team and his place will be hard to fill. The work of John Mclfie at tackle for the last two years is very commendable. He was always in the inter- ference and played a hard, steady game. W. Moore, the heaviest man on the team, has played three years. l-lis Work against a famous guard of the West in the Dodge Light Guards game of 1903 showed his ability. Next yearls team with seven old players and under the leadership of B. Moyle should be very successful. Mr. Moyle was our manager for this year and deserves much for his work in securing games.

F OOTBALL. . The record of the Tarkio eleven for T905 is gratifying. Six games were 'played and only two of these were lost, one to Missouri State University and the other to William Jewell. However, Vifilliam Jewell, two weeks after the game with Tarkio defeated Missouri State Normal I8 to O and Tarkio in turn de- feated the same team on Thanksgiving 23 to 0. Thus by comparative score Tarkio could have beaten William Jewell in the later part of the season. At the beginning of practice six old players nnd plenty of green material appeared. Captain Ferrier soon had the men hard at work tack- ling, bucking and running signals. In three weeks time he had developed a comparatively good team which defeated the Nebraska State , Normal I3 to 0. Both teams were in poor physical condition. This accounts for the slow,i tedious game that was played, and especially for the small score, but it showed that Tarkio had the material for a winning team. The fol- lowing week Frank Capell, of Omaha, who was right end on the famous 'OI team of Iowa State and an old player on the Dodge Light Guards, also formerly coach of Tarkio in l903, came and work was begun in earnest. On October IZ the Varsity met William Jewell at Liberty. As there was such a short time intervening be- tween the Nebraska State Normal game and this one, Mr. Capell was not able to get the team in best form and as the day was very hot Tarkio was beaten I2 to 0. l-lowever, this seemed to be just the stimulus Tarkio needed and throughout the rest of the season the record of the team was pleasing in every respect. It held Missouri State University down to a score of I7 to 0 and once during the game the ball was within ten yards of the University goal line. Our football season was a successful one. The team did not equal the winning team of P. A. FERRIER 1904, which is considered the best in the his- , tory of the college, but it was a good one. The Captain Football Team men played a hard schedule and came out with flying colors. A great deal of the suc- cess was due to the hard, persistent work and playing of Captain Ferrier. Every fol- lower of the game knows how many discouragements he encountered, but those only made him play the harder. I-le has played on the team for the last four years and is perhaps the greatest fullback Tarkio ever produced. l-le hit the line hard and was always good for three or four yards. Mr. Ferrier also holds the broad jump record. The work of every individual on the team is creditable. The men played in harmony and with their might. We lose by graduation two of this year,s team and one who does not expect to return.
