THE ATHENAEUM 137 burn and Lewis. Both are fast, especially down on punts, and deadly tacklers. Their hobby is smashing the interference and getting the runner single handed. Both are trusty receivers and tossers of the pass. They both are versatile and are called to alter nate with backs in carrying the ball. These two ends are pushed very hard by Jackson and Burris, both playing a Stella game dur ing the entire season. TACKLES It has been very hard to select tackles for the first eleven, be cause they have all played a wonderful game, but after much changing and consideration we give Collins and Lyons these covet ed positions because of their experiences and wonderful ability for breaking up punts. They are both hard and deadly tackles, fast and aggressive oft times breaking through and throwing the run ner for anywhere between five to ten yards losses. It is a very hard thing for them to reach the highest heights with such fellows as Thomas, 210 lb., tacklq of the Trojans, and his running mate Stev ens trailing them. GUARDS There is no question about big Jim Gadson and Culpepper, the first eleven could not be complete without these two stalwart piles of grim determination. They are a terror on offense and a stone wall on defense. Every body will agree that no other two men could be chosen to bear the brunt of the frontal attack. They have very little rivalry in Gardner and Johnson- CENTERS Mann of the Rising Stars wins the canter position hands down. Although given a very close race by Dick Donnally of the Trojans, there is no question in naming him. He is fast and aggres sive, has a very uncanny ability for following the ball and breaking up punts. He is the best pivot man we have seen in intra-mural athletics. His heights were not reached by any ease at all because the ever alert and fighting Dick Donnally was chasing him hard. Quarterbacks At quarter the veteran Maxwell has all the odds for himself. He has proved his ability to think and be cool under hot fire. A wonderful receiver and tosser of the pass. He was given a close second by Hawkins, but experience counts. HALF-BACKS For halfbacks we have Dunmore, Maxwell, Williams and Rey nolds. After a careful consideration. Dunmore and Maxwell are entitled to the berths on the first eleven. They both have the squirming, twisting, dodging, style of running, especially off ends, and open field. They are the "Tondees” of intra-mural football on end runs, and the “Battering Bam Clarks” on line plunges. When Maxwell can’t make the required yardage, then Dunmore saves the day with his booting toe.
