the lightning plunges of this star, Yale, Carlisle, Dickinson, Gettys burg, etc. suffered just as W. U. P. did. Behind McGee in every plunge Thanksgiving Day was State’s Splen did pair of half-bacKS, Yeckley and Mcllveen.and three more clean, cour ageous, manly fighters never stepped upon any gridiron. Next comes Barr our modest, un assuming left end, who has seen two years’ Varsity service- The case of this quiet, good-natured, son of State is very similar to that of McGee, as Barr also won his place on the Varsity after two years hard battling on the scrubs. As a steady, reliable man Varsity Barr is one of the best on this season’s eleven, and although not quite so speedy as some ends, his heady, ever dependable play, and terrific interference breaking ability, made his end hard to circle. Five feet-ten in height and weighing 172 pounds, Barr, represents with his three ’O6 classmates, that type of hard clean player who has made football the greatest of American college games. Exceptionally quiet' and reticent in manner, only Barr’s close friends have learned his real worth of character. Gotwals, the final member of this “Big Four” of State’s graduating stars, is six feet in height and weighs 186 lbs. “Gottie’s” perfect condi tion all season long has rendered him invaluable to the Varsity team. For three years “Gottie” fought on the scrubs until this fall he won his way to the Varsity, and has devel oped into one of the strongsst all around tackles ever turned out of State. A heady player, who learns something in every game, Gotwals has proven a match for every op posing tackle this season, and at Yale he fairly played the giant Forbes off his feet, while W. U. P. could’nt gain through him at all. Against W. U. P. “Old War Horse” Gottie’s strong ground-gaining ability was well displayed, as well as against every other team this year, THE STATE COLLEGIAN for he is the only man on the Varsity squad who has not missed a single minute of play this fall. Neither tobacco or liquor have ever touched Gottie’s lips and his strongest swear word is “darn” while with the last amendment omitted, the same is al so true of Yeckley and McGee. As for Barr, “his trusty pipe” is al ways in place out of football season, and as soon as the last battle was over, Barr dashed madly up to one of his admirers and called for an immediate pipe. All hail to. Yeck, McGee, Barr, and Gottie, and long may they flourish and prosper. The Annexes Banquet, The men who last year roomed in the Bright Angel and Devil’s Den held a banquet in McAllister Hall last Friday.night after Durno’s per formance in the Auditorium. Thirty four men were there to do justice to the festive board, set by Housel, the caterer. W. A. Heckathorne, ’O6, acted as toastmaster and toasts were respond ed to by the following men: Gotwals, ’o6—"How We Did It.” Varnes. ’06 —“How Order Was Maintained in the Devil’s Den.” Lee, ’O9 —“Midnight Pandemon ium.” Watson, ’OB--The Imaginary Quantity. ’ ’ Landes, ’06 —“Letters from Graduates.” Lee, ’08 —Midnight Raids.” Stamm, ’'o6- -“Work on the Dia mond.” D. O. Davis, ’06 —“Hell-raisers.” Staud, ’07 —“On the Gridiron.” Morgan, 'OB - “Eruption of Ves uvius.” Glenn, ’oB—The Vigilance Com mittee.” Evans, ’OB —“Sic Semper Tyran ius.” Price, ’O5- “My Wife.” When the table was cleared and the toasts responded to, a picture of the “bunch” was taken. After giving a few yells, the banqueters dispersed, each one feeling proud of the fact that at one time or other he had occupied a room* in the Bright Angel or Devil’s Den.
