that nan out successfully are classed

are usually listed under the "bonehead

After the first game OF the world

sion. The general verdict agreed upon

the eighth. Alexander went out on a

cided appreciation from critics. He was
the most important defensive factor in
the season, barring, of course, the
pitching of Hird. In the spring of 1914
Ochsenreiter also was among the best
scholastic infielders, his work at third
base being good in every particular.
Roberts Competent Player.
Jackey Roberts career on the diamond
and gridron is SO closely related to that
of Ochsenreiter that they are almost
synonymous. Roberts has played end,
quarterback and halfback on the clever,
and has held down a position in the OUT
field on the nine. Roberts first sprang
into prominence as scholastic athlete
when he was called back from an end
position two years ago and kicked field
goal which decided the game with Cen
trail, and since that time he has held
his own with the best.
Last fall Roberts started the grid
iron season at quarterback, but was
later shifted to halfback when Ochsen-
reiter was injured. He did well in
both positions. In the base ball series
last spring there was no other out
f1eiJer as good as Roberts. His field

through the season, Ochsenreiter prob
ably had enjoyed a greater reputation
than the other two. His work at short
stop and at quarterback and halfback
stamped him as one of the best players
developed in the local schools in recent
years. Ochsenreiter first sprang into
prominence when he played quarter
back for Tech in 1912. His work was
such that year that he was rated as
a sure conner" He had his best season
on the gridiron in 1914, when his stellar
play at halfback practically gave Tech
a championship. Ochsenreiter not only
proved an efficient defensive factor
but he was far the most prominent on
the offense.
Time after time he carried the ball
for long gains in the decisive game
with Business, and it was the culmina-
tion of several brilliant effort. by him
in the last quarter which resulted in
the touchdown which gave Tech the
Victory by margin of six points.
Ochsenreiter also made quite repu-
tation as an infielder. Last spring he
played shortstop, and the one before
he held down position at third base.
He failed to hit very well in 1915,
but fielded brilliantly and held together

ing was brilliant and his hitting better
than showed in the averages. Like
Ochsenreiter, he won a position on the
aH-high nine.
Culligan Mainstay at Business.
Culligan has been the mainstay of
Business in foot ball for the last two
years and his work on the diamond has
been nearly as good And besides being
one of the best players the school
has had in these two sports. Culligan
is the equal of any scholastic basket
ball star in the south. Business will
lose in Culligan a man who is going to
be mighty hard to replace.
Smaller than even the average scho-
lastic foot ball player, Culligan has
performed brilliantly for two years. He
did not show quite as well last fall
as in 1914 because he was completely
covered and watched at all times by
opposing teams. On the base ball team
Culligan has played second base and
in the outfield. In both positions he
has done well, but it has been as a
batter that he got in his most effective
work. Culligan was one of the best

him is that he has no superiors in this

But the wave OF insane wrath was
already subsiding. and Brouillard. half
ashamed Of the momentary lapse into
savagery, was once more scowling
down at the pages Of his notebook,
when the door opened and Quinlan,
the operator. came in with a commu-

reply to Hosford's telegraphed appeal
to the higher powers. Brouillard read
