You are invited to enjoy them.Okay Parsons! Yeow! Wildcats—Personnel of SquadStarting from center “Dog Ears” Manning, as big as they make ’em is fast, a good passer and has all the qualities of an offensive center and bov! he is a bulwark on defence. Melvin Rich also a snapper back has plenty of strength and he wiP develop into a neat player.At guards there is a quartet of fast stepping lads in the names of “Kaboola” Zane, “The Great Dane’’ Johnson. “Epsom Salts’’ Ebersole and “Unconcerned” Lindslev These boys have the ear marks of battle and their ability to block and tackle will give the cash customers plenty to talk about.There is a giant standing on a foundation of “size 14 shoes ii Edwin” “Eagle” Wade, a red-headed lad good at pawing opponents This frerkled-faced boy is the en vey of many an all-American who didn’t have a well balanced foun dation. Watch him, folks, and watch “Grandma” Cropley the stal wart short side tackle who carries with him weight and experience He opens holes as big “as big” and is poison on defense. “Pop” Henderson our ball-headed player and “Farmer” Blake are two good tackles who desrve a big hand for their fine work.Weber has a double quartet of good ends. “Peaches” Chandler. “Strawberry” Woods, “Tiny” Hodgson and Handsome” Fowler, can run, snag passes gcometricallv “Tiger” Pantone and West Lindsey are two more ends who are good, along with “Big Bob” Stratford and “Dapper” Duncan.In the backfield where most of the fire and sensation is stored will be “Educated Toe” Van Dyke the lad who carries with him a tutored big toe. He boots the oval far and wide at every corner of the field with high twisting spirals that make safety men dizzy. He passes accurately, drives and plunges like an “iron horse,” and his diagnosing and hacking up the line makes him a valuable fullback.“Pullet” Paoletti. one of Mussolini’s best, will be beard calling well chosen signals. He packs a mean running attack with a cut back beautiful to watch, a ?wist hard to follow. At safety nc is aTHE SPIRIT OF THE TEAMIt’s all very well to have courage and skill And it’s fine to be counted a star,But the single deed with its touch of thrillDoesn’t tell us the man you arc.For there’s no lone hand in the game we play,We must work to a bigger schemeAnd the things that counts in the world today Is how do you pull with the team?They may sound your praise, they may call you great,They may single you out for fame,But you must work with your running mate Or you’ll never win the game.For never the work of life is done Bj' the man with a selfish dream,For the battle is lost or the battle is won „By the spirit of the team.It’s all very well to fight for fame, But the cause is a bigger need,And what you do for the good of the game Counts more than the flash of speed.It’s the long, long haul and the dreary grind Where the stars but faintly gleam,And it’s leaving all sense of self behindThat fashions a winning team.You may* think it great to he praised for skill,But a greater thing to doIs to set your mind and to set your will On the goal that's just in view.It’s helping your fellownian to score When his chances hopeless seem,It’s forgetting self till the game is o’erAnd fighting for the team.deadly tackier and opposing runners have long respected tm^ ooy. “Bulldog” Read, speedy, deadly, tackier, a good passer and an aver age kicker is Weber’s star halfback. He also takes a turn in barking signals. Yep! an all-around player is Franklin, Mr. Read’s little boy.Green, little dynamo from Idaho, Archie Richardson and Butch Bar-fus are other fine footballers in the backfield. There is another lad for the signal position and that’s “Fifi” Glen Greenwell a little boy from the country. There are numerous players a la reserve and they arc:Backfield—Pell, Gibbs, Wiliams, Merrill, Morris, Greaves, Porter, Rosenbaum, Price, and Vaughn.Linemen — Gajcwsky, Burnett, Taylor, Bodily, Sackctt, K i s h i, Rollins, Maw, Smith, Spillsbury, Thomas, “Be My” Valentine, Barrett, McKee, and SargeantAnd, friends, inasmuch as Bill Baker wrote the above article, it is fThly fair for the “Herald” to add that Bill was all-conference at center last year and his passing is so near perfect that he would be called a “mechanical man” if it were not for the fact that he also has an uncanny ability to always think a play or two ahead of the opposition.CRASH!
