The Banner Football Season

ward pass and other new plays, re
sulting in the splendid showing made
at Yale. From here on, State's
eleven became wonderfully adept at
the new style gridiron tactics.
When some of the players re
ported on September Ist to "Pop"
Golden and "Mother" Dunn, pros
pects looked anything but encourag
ng, for although much good line
material remained from our 'O5
Varsity, an entire new back-field
was required. But we all know
how our Freshmen, McCleary,
Hirshman, Vorhis, Maxwell, and
Coulson have come forward, while
the veteran Varsity line was, in our
opinion, the best in the country.
But success has been largely due to
the untiring effort of our coaches,
Fennell, Golden, Mcllveen, Elder
and Yeckley, thoughtful every
moment of the welfare of the
team, and working hand-in-hand for
three solid months, as though every
effort were a constant pleasure.
The work of this quintet of strong,
clean sportsmen needs no further
comment. Results speak for them
selves, and who can say that these
leaders have not achieved incom
parable results for State?
Ten members of our Varsity
squad graduate next June, and great
difficulty will be encountered in find
ing their equals.
Captain Dunn has with unflinch
ing devotion to Christian work here
at State College uplifted many of
his fellow students. Born in Youngs
town, Ohio, 27 years ago, Dunn
worked in steel mills from his early
youth, barely getting the rudiments
of a primary education. Four years
ago this young giant took the en
trance exams to State College, after
two years of night-study. Since
entering college, the history cf
"Mother" Dunn has been an in
spiration to all those who love the
White and Blue.
THE STATE COLLEGIAN
Next comes Gotwa!s, a right
tackle who fought his way for
two seasons before he ob
tained Varsity recognition, then
developing so rapidly as to become
one of the best tackles on the grid
iron. Earnest in everything he
does, gritty, quiet, undaunted by any
obstacle, "Gottie is a man all
through, whose hard, aggressive
playing puts life into all his team
mates.
Left tackle, "Bill" Wray, an un
assuming gentleman with a quiet,
quizzical smile, has for four years
fought unostentaciously on our
Varsity. Cool, nervy and steady,
his loss will be sadly felt on State's
rush-line. It was his strong arms
which lifted McCleary over W. U
P's. line on Thanksgiving Day.
Kunkle, left guard, is a perfect
side partner for "Bill" Wray. As
President of the Y.M.C.A., Kunkle
has wrought an influence among
State College students that will
broaden and expand as the years
roll by.
State's quarter-back, "Hi" Hen
ry, is a man exceptionally gifted with
unselfishness, broad-mindedness, and
an overflowing generosity and kind
liness. Tackling, handling difficult
punts and rushing them back, are all
done with the same chee:y smile,
taking the hardest of bumps without
a word. "Hi's" superb grit is out
in a word when it is told that he
played throughout that W. U. P.
struggle with a muscle in his back
torn loose.
"Phil" Partridge, half-back, is
another ever ready to jump into the
thickest of the fray. "Phil's"
playing against Annapolis and Dick
inson helped our team to victory ;
and for three years past Partridge
has played good Varsity football.
Bruce McWilliams, big, husky,
and always willing, has "taken his
bumps" for three seasons before
winning the honored "S" during the
present year.
