Gerald Doonan was hired to coach the team, which he soon rounded into good shape. After Doonan took charge of the team we did not lose a game. We tied the strong Stevens Point team and ended the season by defeating the Eau Claire Normal. 12 to 0. The hoys did well considering the conditions under which they worked. Captain Larson was always on the job and much credit is due him for the line record which the hoys made. McQuirk was the shining light of the season. He made two touchdowns against the Stevens Point team. Weiss did consistent work all year. Waldc. who is a new man at football, showed signs of becoming a great player on account of his natural speed and aggressiveness. Track Team of 1917 Squad: Shaw, capt.; Donalds. Livingstone. Dopp. Moore, Joppa. Potter. Diffor. Morrill. The track season of 1917 opened with two veterans back. Donalds and Shaw. After the boys had done several weeks of work. George Jarvis from Grinncll College, Iowa, was employed to coach the team. The first meet was with the Dcnfcld High of Duluth nnd the Normal won by a large score. The second meet of the year was with Superior High and the team, although crippled by the loss of several of its men, won easily. The Normal track meet, which was scheduled, was called ofT and through the persistent work of the coach two men were entered in the Hlg Nine Conference moot at Chicago on June 9. Shaw and Donalds went to the meet and both did very enviable work. This Is the second team the Superior Normal has ever had and it is evident that with a good coach it can turn out fine teams. The fact that the team did so well is on account of the splendid coaching. Donalds and Shaw were the stars of the year. Donalds winning individual honors in the Denfeld meets and Shaw did the same in the Superior High meet. Donalds won 26 points for the two meets and Shaw won 28. Basket Ball The basket ball team accomplished wonders this year when we stop to consider that the team did not have a gym of their own. The boys were defeated by two Normals; the Superior team stands third in the northern half of the Normal conference. An arrangement was made with the Y. M. C. A. early In the year so that the team could use the gym during the hours from 6 to 7 o’clock. A great deal of credit is due to Coach Herman I . Uicbe and Captain George W. ’ 28

“Weeth But Wan Feet” The young man smiled and doffed his hat And rose at once from where he sat, For she was sweet and fair to see And not a day past twenty-three. The car was crowded and his seat Accepted while his own two feet Before her held him in a trance; Her baggage check was labelled “France.” “I beg your pardon, Miss,” said he, “But honestly it seems to me That some time in the misty past, Your hand in mine 1 have held fast.” Her eyes were sad, her accents low, “Non, Non, Mesieur, eet ees not so! The onlee wan wat hold my han’ Was bein ze brave yong fighteeng man.” “Teez true he come from Amereek, But in ze war he loose wan feet And I, a Red Cross nurse, just zhen, Was nurse heem back to healt’ again.” “His face was torn; zhey wrap it so, If see again I’d hardly know. Zhey sent heem home to Amereek, An’ now tiz heem—se man I seek. “Eet ees ze slackaire wat you call, Ze man lak you—not go at all. Ze reeson I’m in Amereek Ees finding heem, weeth but wan feet.” “Then Antonette,” said he, “awake, This left foot here is but a fake. Behold the scars upon this cheek, I am the man ‘weeth but wan feet.’ ” “And if mistaken I am not, A photograph of me you’ve got.” The photograph was soon brought out. Comparison dispensed with doubt. And Antonette, with a chirp of glee, Just filled the arms of Ileneree. Today they live on Patriot Street, The girl and her man “weeth but wan feet.” —Dorothy Leader.
