FOOTBALL Candidates for the football team were called out about September 15, and thirty-three re- ported to Coach Dower. The team, from a standpoint of victories, was not as successful as had been that of previous seasons, although this was to be expected. Only three men of last year ' s team returned to school in September, 1920. Nevertheless in spite of the inexperience of the men, the play- ing was very creditable. The three men of the previous year ' s team were the dependable men around which the team was developed. Captain-elect Hall in centre showed remark- able grit and his passing was very accurate. On the defense he was a savage but clean tackier. Grant was powerful on the offense and could gain ground consistently. Burns in quarterback handled the team in excellent manner. His receiving and throwing of for- ward passes was remarkable and in many games he received forwards, causing a great gain of territory for his team-mates, and often re- sulting in touchdowns. Talbot, a new man in the game, showed up very well. He was a great ground gainer and could be depended upon to make good gains where they were most needed. He will be a valuable man for Coach Dower next year. Cochrane and Maroney were two valuable backfield men who could hit the opponent ' s line like a bullet. Surrette, Fober, and Dade on the ends deserved much praise. Fuller, King and Mullen showed that they could play football, and much can be expected from these three players next season. Wing was a powerful and speedy tackier and when the ball was pas.sed on the defense, he was flying in at the opponent ' s backfield break- ing up plays. Only four men of this year ' s team will graduate next June, leaving practically a veteran team for next fall. Coach Dower is looking forward to a victorious season. CAPT. CALLAHAN.
