Earl Martlncau Star.
Earl M%artineau Of Minnesota, is

Like Williams and kipke, he was
handled roughly in every game, but

player. II it had not been for this
player the Gophers would not have
had such a successful season.
Shuttleworth Of Iowa. was another
good back who really did not receive

were not appreciated. He gathered
in forward passes with the ease and
grace Of a polished baseball player,
while his keen knowledge Of football
made 1t possible, for him to move to
dangerous points, with speed and ac-
curracy. There was nothing about
