l i 1 1 l ., 1 THE 1929 FOGTBALL SEASON The season from the viewpoint of games won was not as successful as those of the past. A review of the season will perhaps throw a different view upon the sco1'es. Scores are not all there is to a football season. I VVestern Union had a very difficult schedule lined up for this season and at the be- ginning of the year the prospects looked bright in spite of the heavy schedule. In- juries inflicted a heavy toll throughout the entire season. Several men were forced out of school by unexpected conditions. It can truthfully be said that Coach Koch could never start the same eleven men twice. The squad, in face of these difficulties, with the able guidance and coaching of NIL Koch always had a fighting team on the field. If we are not hampered next year with unforeseen difficulties we shall have a fine nucleus from which to build an able team. The squad will lose four men by graduation: Captain Hancer, Hanke, Schultz, and C. lfVoods. Any football team to develop must have some opposition, generally in the form of a second team. VVestern Union has had faithful men during this season, who have helped to make the team a success. . Some of these men have been forced out because of injuries. Others have been in- experienced and will be out to make a letter next year. They have the true traditional VVestern Union Spirit, and deserve mention as well as the lettermen. They will make up the team of the coming years. They are as follows: SUMMER!-'ELD DAVIS Voss DEPREE MCCLELLAND M. NIILLER Rrrizk BAYLES lx1II.HOLI.lN REYNOLDS SKELTON Page 63'
