During that sea- son he played in the backfield 0f the team that gave us the name of the ttFighting Aggies? At the close of the season he was chosen to lead'the 1923 squad and as their captain has proven himSelf an amiable leader. No man ever worked harder or sacrificed more for the good of his team. During most of the season he played clear out of position, first filling in as fullback and then at center, always giving his best and never thinking of himself. Captain Klingaman was a fighter, a leader, and above all a man from the first whistle to the final gun.

For opposition we had one of the toughest schedules ever attempted by the California Aggies; for coaches we had new men unfamiliar with our conditions, our men, or our oppO- nents, and for experienced men we had just three veterans from last years first string. Realizing their situation the coaches issued an early call for practice. Nearly every student that had ever seen or heard of a football wassoon out and kicking and passing the pigskin up and down the grldlron. With some of our hardest games coming in the early part of the season everyone out was put through their gaits at top speed and in a very short whlle the coaches had picked a squad and started ironing out the wrinkles.
