OUR TRIBUTE.

won a reputation second only to that of the captain. Weighing an even 180 pounds, active, and shifty on his feet, he has always been one of the most valuable members of the team, and during his four years at football, has played nearly every position on the team. Starting in at guard he developed into a star tackle, and then this fall was shifted to fullback to strengthen the backfield. Brunner has a football head hard to equal, and his ability to solve formations has been of the utmost value to the team. He hails from Onaga, Kansas, is 25 years old and is a member of the Law school.
Carl Rouse, the newly elected captain for 1907, is an end, one of the best in the Missouri Valley when he is in condition. In the second game the varsity played this fall he had the misfortune to sprain his knee and has been kept on the side lines practically all season from this injury. His splendid playing ability was recognized, however in spite of the few games he entered, and the coveted captaincy fell to his lot. He is popular with the men and will make a good leader. Rouse comes from Beloit, the home of Hicks and Pooler, and makes the fourth captain to be elected from that town. He is 22 years old and is a Junior engineer.
Job White, right end, is not only one of the most popular members of the football squad, but is one of the best liked fellows on the hill. This was his second year on the team at end. He was a hard aggressive player and one of the most valuable men on the squad. "Job" is a senior law and will not be back next fall. He weighs 165 pounds and is 23 years old. His home is at Mankato.
George Putnam, right guard, had the unique distinction of making good his first year at football and making good in such a style that he was acknowledged to be the best guard in the Missouri Valley. 200 pounds in weight, fast on his feet and an indomitable fighter, Putnam has the making of a great star if he continues his football career elsewhere. This is his last year at K. U. He is an Ottawa boy and is but 20 years old.
Urbin Angney, quarterback, was the surprise of the season. Without even the slightest experience as a quarterback he was taken from half early in the season and tried out at quarter and made good immediately. With every game he played his generalship improved wonderfully so that he was running the team in fine shape by the time the crucial games rolled round. He has had but few equals as a safety man, his tackling being sure and his handling of punts wonderfully
accurate. He is a Sumner county boy. He is only 144 pounds in weight and is twenty years old.
Howard Reed,otherwise "Tubby," held down left guard in excellent style, for his massive 230 pounds made him the heaviest man on the team and a tower of strength on defense. He is exceedingly fast for a heavy man. Reed comes from Kansas City. He is 22 years old.
Pat Crowell, right tackle, was one of five members of Shorty Hamill's ever victorious freshman team to make good on the Varsity this fall. Pat is a blocky little Irishman, weighing 180 pounds, built low to the ground and a fighter of fighters. He stepped into Brunner's old place at tackle when the latter was shifted to full, and made good immediately. He has the making of a great tackle. He is a Sumner county boy. He is a junior Law and is 22 years old.
Carl Pleasant, left end, is an Ottawa boy, and was a member of last year's famous tyro squad. He is only 19 years old, weighs 172 pounds and is a coming man. On account of Rouse's injury he has played in practically every game this fall and never failed to make good. He is a splendid tackler and a power at smashing interference. He is a sophomore in the College and is a grade one student.
"Billy" Miller,right half back although one of the very lightest men on the team, was probably the most consistent player on the squad. Day in and day out Billy could be counted upon to do his level best and never had an off day. He was a splendid hand at receiving the forward pass. He broke his collar bone in the Manhattan game and was kept on the sidelines for the Thanksgiving contest. His home is at Osage City and he is 20 years of age.
Clyde Wallace, left halfback, kicked himself into football fame in the Nebraska contest when he booted two field goals and won the game for Kansas. He is by odds the fastest man on the squad and made any number of sensational end runs this fall. He has the making of a great halfback. He lives at Ponca City, Oklahoma, and weighs 165 pounds. He is a Middle Law.
Sam Forter played in part of nearly all the varsity games this fall and held down left halfback the entire Missouri game. He is the best punter that ever wore a Jayhawker moleskin, and was by odds the best kicker in the Missouri Valley this fall. One of his long spirals in the Nebraska game netted 90 yards. He did particularly fine work in the Missouri game. Forter hails from Marysville. He weighs 160 pounds.
Julius Cohn played in every game this fall except the Nebraska contest and added five Continued on page 6.
