SAM STERLING
ELECTED CAPTAIN
High School Foot Ball Squad Hold
-. Meeting and Have Picture
rt,.
.s.... Taken.

At a meeting of the Webster City
high school foot ball squad yester-
day afternoon Sam Sterling, right
tackle on this years team, was elect
ed captain for next year. His name
was the first mentioned by any OF
those present and the choice was
unanimous.
This honor is we'll deserved by the
big tackle, as his fine defensive
work, coupled with his ability at
making holes in the opposing lines,
has been the cause of large num-
Der of the home teams touch downs.
Mr.. Sterling is considered by many
of the out of town players and root
ers who have seen him at work as
a most formidable opponent for eth
err Of the tackles chosen on the all
Iowa squad for this year.
After the election of captain the
entire squad, consisting Of seventeen
men. posed for Photographer Brown
and had their pictures taken. In
accordance with the wish of Coach
Meyer, the boys were arranged in
the form OF a large w on the west
steps of the high school building.
The proof of the photo was finished
this morning and is fine.
It is probable that the boys will
arrange for an inter-class game next
Friday, with the Juniors and Fresh
men as oppents to the Sophomores
and Seniors.
