' Q-2 - ' - A --hah a-----H 1 - FOOTBALL The opening of the l923 football season at the S. T. C. saw the ret'urn of only two of last year's letter men, Taber, end, and Briggs, half. The outlook, however, was brightened by the presence of several promising reserves, including Herman Burchill, Gilbert Quist, Alfred Kurth and Adolf Soroos. ln addition, a number of men who had won their football spurs at the local high school drew suits and answered the first call to the gridiron. Outstanding among these as the season advanced were G. Hanna, W. Larson, W. Eggert, A. Seymour, F. Taber, and V. Krogh. New faces were W. Rustand, A. Kirlcness, lVl. Foullcs, A. Koenelce, O. Faust, B. Reynolds, W. lVlcNoun, and L. Sutherland. Serious practice began Wednesday, Sept. 26, with thirty men ready to battle for places on the eleven. A new tackling dummy was put into service, new equipment arrived, Larson was chosen Captain, and the season was on. The first clash came with the heavy Science team on October 20, resulting in a scoreless tie. On October 26 S. T. C. lost to Moorhead Heachers I4 to 0: November 3, the Red and Blue held the seasoned Jamestown College Eleven to a 6-3 score. Our showing in this game was undoubtedly the best of the season. The work of Kirlcness, Soroos, and Larson was outstanding. Ellendale came on November 9 and were turned back by a 40 to 0 score. The veteran Gunderson had returned to school and had a hand in the victory. The scoring for the season stood S. T. C. 4Ig opponents, 34. Men who made up the baclcfield were: Kirlcness, Soroos, Seymour, Briggs, Koenelce, lVlulhair, and L. Taber. Krogh, F. Taber, L. Taber, and Rustand were used as ends. Larson played center. The remainder of the line was held at various times by men from the following group: Burchill, Eggert, Mulhair, Kurth, Faust, lverson, Foulks, F. Taber, and Hanna. ' Some individual mention should no doubt be made. It is the opinion among local fans that S. T. C. had in Kirlcness one of the best football men in the conference. His line plunging featured every game. Larzon at center was an important cog in the team's play. His experience proved especially valuable on a squad which included so many new men. The work of Soroos and Burchill drew much favorable comment. The Taber brothers and Eggert were fighters to the last whistle. Hanna and Rustand improved steadily. Taken as a whole, the season is to be regarded as a successful one. The team worlced well as a unit and in its last games was going at top form. The men gained football exper- ience which will show next fall when many of them return to the school and others go out into the State as coaches. FOOTBALL 1923 Wahpeton Science. . . ......... 0 S.
