WAKEFIELD HIGH SCHOOL ECHO FOOTBALL, 1923 Wakefield High School started the season of 19211 with a pair of tackles and three back-field men as a nude ’s for a team, which meant that it would be necessary to “find” or “make” a number of good players out of raw material if we were to have much of a team. The first night or two things looked pretty good as about 26 men turned out for practice but as soon as the hard bumps started about ten of the 26 failed to appear for practice. i ------------------------—---------- JOE FERRARO Sub., Half VILJO MAKI Guard Vil.jo gave a good account of himself in the few games he got into and we expect him to win a regular berth in 1924. IIAIH1Y MATHEWS Center “Dunk” played his first and last year for W. II. S. at center and developed into a very good passer. What “Dunk” lacked in pounds and experience he made up for in determination. With Harry’s graduation in June Wakefield loses a good, steady, center. t’LARENCE IIILLIS Sub., End and Tackle ISA DOR YATCZAK End “ Ezy Jack” playing his first year of football made good use of his basketball knowledge and specialized in intercepting forward passes. With the knowledge of the game gained this year we expect Ezy to go big next fall. Rage Twenty-Eight

WAKEFIELD HIGH SCHOOL ECHO FOOTBALL, 1923—Continued The first game was played at Iron wood and of course we lost, by a score of 59-13. This score really was not as bad as it sounds as our thirteen was the highest score that a High School team made on Ironwood this year. The next game was with Hurley High at Wakefield and we lost, 7-0, on the breaks of the game. (We called it a touchdown but the referee called it an incompleted pass.) Bessemer there was the next and they defeated us 26-6. Then came the snow battle HERMAN HOOK Tackle A hard hitting tackle with plenty of fight and a thorough knowledge of the game Herman could be depended upon to smash up the opponents’ plays. PETER BUGNI Halfback “Nig” playing his third and last year for W. II. 8. was in there fighting all the time. We surely are going to miss him when an off-tackle smash or an end run is tried around his side of the line. Nig sure liked to hit ’em low. CHARLES BEST Fullback • ' “Kabilla” was a hard-hitting, hard-tackling lighting, fullback and we expect even more of him in 1924. JOSEPH COHEN GUAliD This was Joe’s first and last year and although he worked hard injuries kept him out of most of the games. LAWRENCE HOOK Capt., Halfback and Quarter ‘ ‘ Sparky ’ ’ seemed to be the hard-luck-guy of the squad, but even with a flat tire he gave a very good account of himself both on offense and defense. Always good for a yard or two after tackled. Page Twenty-Nine
