Foot Ball Men Receive Letters
Tuesday morning Mr.. Reed, direct
or Of athletics, presented foot ball let
tiers to ten players who had played
the necessary number of quarters and
were qualified in other ways as defin-
edin the rule made last year. Those
who were fortunate enough to come
up to the requirements were as fol-
lows: Lester Jersey, Marion Steele,
Ray Forman, Frank Pinkham, Burl
Wilbur, Merrill Peterson, Edwin
Bailey, Clarence Altenburg, Gerald
Mehney, Edwin Waite and Carlton
Wheeler. The policy in the past has
been not to grant letters to anyone in
the eighth grade and consequently
Clarence Bailey did not receive one.
His work on the team was very cred
liable and he is sure of winning his
letter next year. Others who deserve
honorable mention are: Theodore
Lambertson, Carl Huntley, Harry
Connell, Ernest Rummler and Chas.
Wheeler. These men were indispen-
sable in the building of the fighting
machine which won the county title.
