to decipher the actual names.  In the interest of making the names

===========================================================================

Athletics

Foot Ball
---------
"Jo" Sawyer - Jo has joined the navy now.  That shows our team had real
men.  And he played full time at every game he played.

"Hoss" Colbert - "Hoss" always good for plowing through the line.  He has
the pep and push.

"Puell" Gilbert - The inspiration that Gilbert puts in the backfield is
much to be marveled at and his encouragement helped the line to hold "them"
back.

"Bus" Clowser - "Bus" is sure the man for a football team.  Those long
runs--Oh, Boy!

"Lonny" Brickley - Grit--that's "Lonny".  On account of injury he couldn't
finish the season but B.H.S. will have a good man next year.

"Dutch" Edris - Speaking of runs around the end--well "Nuf Sed".

"Squint" Tangeman - After initiation in the mud at Fort Wayne "Fritz" held
both his position and the line--and held--and held--and held.

"Al" Robinson - Everybody came to the game with field glasses to see big Al
kick off, and when his signal was called they just as well might get out of
his way, 'cause big Al was on their neck.

"Flash" Glass - Without "Flash" and his "Fight" our line could never have
gained and held our reputation of a line that is hard to break.

"Freddie" Karns - Fred sure gave "as good as he got" and any man that Fred
tackled--well--he stopped.

"Ape" Sowards - Whenever Joe twined his length around an opposing 'back',
the referee immediately blew his whistle for the next down.

"Harvey" Ault - "Harv" will be one of the ones who will defend our old High
School next year as he is only a Junior.  Hit 'em hard, Harvey.

"Brick" Bricker - Another man on next year's list.  Brick sure knows how to
play.


Basket Ball
-----------
Captain "Buggar" Fetters - "Buggar" can always be depended on to hold his
man down to very few baskets.  Bob played a consistant (sic) game all
season.

"Deacon" Mock - With his hard, steady, fight, and his dependability to sink
in baskets when most needed, "Deak" was a valuable man to the team.

"Ed" Earley - "Ed" had an especially good idea of where the basket was and
dropped them in from quite a distance with a regularity that made his shots
more than mere luck shots.

"Puell" Gilbert - The same hard playing that characterized all his
activities make Gilbert an asset to our cagers.

"Bus" Clowser - Our married man made his bebute (sic) last year with the
seconds.  As a regular this year "Bus" could not be missed.  "Bus" also,
made quite a reputation as a good shot.

"Flash" Glass - When "Flash" was in the game you could hear, at regular
intervals--"Flash" scored again from the field."  George sure has an eagle
eye.

"Lonny" Brickley - "Lonny" could get the tip from almost all of the boys
and played a good, consistant (sic) game.

"Squint" Tangeman - Fred worked his way right into the first tea man stuck.
His steady playing in pinches gained the approval of the crowd at all
times.

"Rus" Rippe - Coach - Rippe coached both the football and the basketball
teams and did it very successfully.  We hope he is with us again next year.

"Manager" Dailey - Jim managed the teams and worked hard till he had to
move.  No one could ever be more handy than he at supplying water to the
