Show UTONIANNineteen Twelve"OTT" ROMNBT. When "Ott" first came out to practice he looked like a kid that had sneaked in. I was first attracted by the way he handled the ball and by his general attitude towards the game. Quiet and unassuming, he could be depended upon absolutely to do exactly as he was told. If "Ott" ever made a mistake in football last fall, it was my fault. Although he wanted to try for end, he willingly trained as a substitute to Grant, the veteran quarter, and when "Ben-nie" hurt his foot, "Ott" jumped in and filled his position as if he had played it for years.SAM OLESON, playing his first year at tackle, was a strong man in his position and a valuable asset to the team. Besides being a good lineman, he "was quite handy ¦with the forward pass.HUGO PRICE trained faithfully all year and was ready and qualified at any time to go into the game, but owing to the fact that I had to keep a good man in reserve at all times, Hugo did not get a chance until the last game of the season. He played that very well.DUNCAN GARDNER, another first-year man, made a very creditable showing as utility lineman. During the season he played, at various times, center, guard, tackle, an,d end. "Dune" should be one of the most valuable men on the team next year.167 |
