He appears to better advan- i l l Ml tage behind the line, but is a consistant, hard player, and capable in any position ll y Kilbourn-A faultless tackler, -strong and heavy, with a perfect knowledge of the game. A real bad man on defense. lei N James-An eccentric player, quick after fumbles and remarkably fast in getting down Nl under punts. A good man in every sense of the word. Captain of next year's at 1 eleven. Johnson-A stocky man, fast on his feet, quick at charging and getting down the field. HG Constantly worrying his opponent by some trick. ,l ' 'll 'Calloway-A tower of strength at guardg his 210 pounds making him a valuable man in V. , A the line. A valuable man who wears his head throughout the game. Will be seen again at guard next year. 'Haigler-A strong heavy man, a stranger to the rattles, and can be depended on to pass the ball accurately. Played in every game of the season without making a W single bad pass. tl Pond-Cut his first teeth on a nose guard, helped take the famous medic team into camp V, ,. u l back in the 90s. Thought to have been a has been until this year when he came ill back to the game with his years of peut up energy, and at tackle won the title W of 'fWorst of the bad men. Has- a head and knows how to use it. l Getman-A clever little quarter, and good as any man of his weightg works his team well and understands the fine points of the game.

that be, who have inaugurated the open style, yet from the standpoint of a has been, it is inferior to that of my time. The forward pass is sometimes a ground gainer, more often a time loser. The successful player requires the attributes and skill of a basket ball player. Never will there be anything more thrilling and soul-satisfying than a plunge into the line, a tackle back or a cross back, with a good hard protest from the opponent for every foot gained. And it wasn't brutal, in spite of a yellow press! In many years, football playing, I have seen few serious injuries, and slugging almost never. So, in summing up, enthusiastic as I am in watching today's game, give me the old-timers with their sprinting, fierce rushes, and low tackling. Had you seen Matteson, Champlain and Williamson of Kansas, Young of Missouri, Flippin of Nebraska, Taylor, Pendleton and Allen -of Baker, you would grasp what I try to convey about speed, strength and agility. However, retrospection is of no -avail-time will no-t turn back- and the writer is branded as a dreamer, living in memories of other days. ENTURIES before Coronus had given to the world a son destined to become the nucleus of the grandest fraternity of alleviators known- to civilization, this af- T fliction had invaded Pagan society and so moulded its thought as to cause its cardinal symptom Cgladitorial combatl to become the sport of kings. Therefore, in con- sidering the etio-l-ogy of so venerable, virulent and contagious a disease we must accept the germ theory, and of necessity revert to the very fly leaves of anthropology for a beginning conception of its primary incubation. Athleiiru u 'Now at the time of the consummation of those things recorded in the lst chapter in Genesis, Father Adam was too busy contemplating the beauty of the resultant meta- morphos-is of his lost rib to give any analytical or prophylactic thought to this vegetable micro-organism so fresh from the hand of its Maker, and as there was then existing no Pasteurs, Kochs, Devonce, Hertzlers -Cross' or Millers, armed with germicides and microscopes-, to parole paradise, it was quite easy for this busy little germ to inoculate our amorous an-cestor, and through him transmit itself to the entire human family. Pathologic Anatomy-As yet no autopsy has confirmed a diagnosis of athletitis, and it may be here stated that the concen-sus of opinion' substantiates the belief that it is not a fatal malady. ' Symptoms-The onset is gradual and insidious, being marked by a period of splen- did health, blood showing a high per cent of hemoglobin, appetite excessive, digestion rapid, heart strong, no- accentuated sounds, muscle tone high, accompanied by a pro- gressive increase in size of muscular apparatus, pulmonary enlargement with an in- crease of function, a -marked progressive loss of fatigue, a characteristic absence of malaise, memory and reasoning faculty improved, a greater ability to control impulse, a pronounced feeling of optimism, good fellowship and co-nsiderativeness. ln brain, cen- ters of pessimim, jealousy, vindictiven-ess and selfishness totally detroyed. Other symp- toms there a-re in abundance but lack of space precludes the possibility of their publica- tion, but upon application to the writer they will be gratuitously given. Prognosis and Treatment-Complete recovery never occurs, but palliative treat- ment such as the removal of the patient from the scene of contest may bring about a temporary cassation of some symptoms. However, like malignant growths, they will eventually return, and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

Smith-Twice captain, half back for three seasons, as nervy a little Irishman as ever wore the black and gold, excells in every department of the game. The teams success this season was largely due to his untiring efforts. XVinslow-A fast man with the ball, good at blocking and getting down the field, a good running mate for Smith. Rhodes-Sub End. A swift, nervy player who was handicapped by his weight, fifteen pounds more and Dusty would star with the best of them. First-A strong, nervy youngster who subbed at end. A man of whom much is expected next year. Ireland-Sub tackle. Another beginner of much promise, fast, a good tackler and a head for the game. Robinson-Sub guard. A strong, heavy man, who had little chance to show his met- tle this season. VVill be Callaway's mate at guard next year. Edmonson-A raw-boned Missourian, who, with little effort, could make good at any position in the line, but he is such a diligent student that Mars may find trouble winning him over. Price, R. P.-A tower of strength whose cyclonic vehemence of expression strikes ter- ror to the heart of his opponent, unable to get out much through stress of other business. He is married now. , Henry Witten-A star in every sense of the word whose lustrous radiance was some- what missed by his absence on the gridiron, owing to pressure of his restaurant business at 907 E. 10th. Duckett-A halfback of uncomm-on promise but for the fact that Mrs. D. objected to having those curly locks of Claude's pulled by some alien he might have made the all Western this year. ' Griffin-A good back whose religious duties somewhat interferred with his training. His Bible contains 7 or 11 pages. In the game between the Sophs and Juniors, he made touchdown after touchdown. Percy Ridler-The giant guard will not be with us next year as he is now a Senior. Percy learned the game on an all star team of which Toni Thumb was captain. Von Cannon has filed application for Callaway's job, should that player shift position, Harry Morton will be back in school next year. Papa Fletcher of fleet footed fame has announced his intention to become a candidate for quarter next fall. To those who have never been closely in touch with the internal workings of a f otball team, it is hard to realize that the duties of the managers are other than to o cut classes, and occasionally issue a requisition for a shin guard, but to the 1n1t1ated ' f 't has been ever known that uneasy lies the head that braves the wrath of the pro s. 1 arranges the games, accepts the adverse criticism of the entire te-am and half the athletic public, handles the money s, and is held responsible for all properties at the finar windup. Knowing the vicissitudes of this thankless position, Arthur Oechsli accepted the appointment, and with the able assistance of Percy Ridler so successfully and satisfac- torily executed his tas ent intercollegiate standing. VVe take this opportuni y o g . ' enerous moral and financial support to our boys, and wish it known that their en- g 1 couragement of our struggling hopes was the keystone of our years success. k that we have him to thank for our excellent schedule and pres- 't f a ain thanking the members of the faculty for their
