mystery in some quarters, but on
the Old Gold campus it is confident

year that will be fully as formid-
able as the one which won the Big

return for next years term. How

shine next year with Aubrey De-
vine, Slater and Bedding out of the
way.
Thompson at left tackle is ex-
pected to make great name for
himself. He uses his head. is az

BILLY EVANS SAYS

II is the sensational play in foot
ball that gives the spectators the
real thrill.
A brilliant run, a long forward
pass, a spectacular drop kick, arc
just few of the gridiron headlin-
ers.
If these particular plays happen
to decide the game, they carry the
additional punch that goes with
such a feat.
The season of 1921 was no ex-
ception to the rule. 1t produced a
great many sensational plays. Open
play, made possible by extrava-
gantsuse of the forward pass, was
responsible for a great many Of
the thrillers.
Here are a few of the most i'm
portant:
