/, two PLAYERS during the entire season
were out Of q game owing to injuries
Fetters was out two games owing to
sprained ankle, and WINERY parts OF
three games because of bruised
tendon.
somsthins Of the Team.
The two stars of the team. 1t must
be admitted, are Packer and Hatcher,
and during most of the season neither
has been playing at his regular posi-
ton. In fact this holds true of the
entire team, with the exception CT
Rtcalow. who alone has held the same
position that he occupied last year.
Packer Is really an end, yet, when
sent to full, made so good that 1t would
be hard to tell whether he would make
a better end than he does fullback.
He has proved remarkable player for
a high school boy, and will be heard
| from later when he gets into college. IN
fact the team has been built around
Packer and Hatcher. and 1t is pref
ty hard matter to pick the better play
er in his respective line.
| Hatchers regular position is at fuil,
We. at quarter, where he has been more
RECENTLY he has showed wonderful
ability and generalship. He is faster
on his feet than Packer, but is not the
plunger.
Hull probably showed the greatest
DEVELOPMENT during the season OF any
PLAYER on the team. Smith and Buch-
wald also showed a decided tendency
toward Improvement. Andrews. Bern
stein. and Calmus, at guard cared for
their positions admirably, opening
holes and blocking plunges. WINERY
hammered by injuries, showed ability In
getting down under punts and tack
I ling. Newcomer, fine intuitive play
err at quarter, lacked experience, out
should prove to be a star next year.
| Biealow and Fetters, in the tackle
positions, played a good. steady game
always. and Patton, at end, was headv
for an inexperienced man. Elder couio
he counted on at all times for hard
headv game. Captain Stewart played
his usual game, and displayed excep-
tional strength on defense. While ms
position did not permit him to show VI
| in spectacular plays, it was larger!
thru his work that the difficult forma-
tions were made effective.
Second Team Light.
The second team, unusually faithful
this season, was light, but gritty. Bu'
very little practice was engaged In pu'
THAT there were two complete teams
out, While this Is good showing FOL
the school, it could be better from the
fact that there are more and bigger
bows in school who could and should
be out in football uniforms who ap-
parently take no interest In the game
from playing standpoint.
Judging from the second team ma
lterial there is still to be Packer IT
the lineup for a few years to come
Theodore Packer. brother of Roscoe
has made good on the second team. anc
promises to be even bigger physically
than his brother, altho as yet he Is no
as fast. Holmes Packer. cousin O.
Roscoe and Theodore, has played on
! of the halves on the second team u
GOOD advantage. The two Packers
White, Muchmore, and Boucher hav'
proved the best corners" in the secon'
team.
