To last Saturday's game we all went for the fun
The day was a bright one, for bright was the sun.
There never was a prettier
Sight than at Whittier
When little old Brad made his ninety-yard run.
Capt. Manker, "Brad," made good as captain of the team. His constant
flow of encouraging words during the progress of games was largely responsible
for the team's fine work on defense. As to his own playing -- he was consistently
neither good nor bad; at times he showed flashes of fine work on both offense
and defense -- then, again, he was almost lamentably weak. But he will
be missed next year. |

|
|
There was a young fellow named Siemon,
Who, at tackling, sure is a demon.
They go down with a thud,
In the dust or the mud
It's the only time that he's a mean-un.
|
|
Joe Siemon. Captain elect, and, let me add, a wise choice. His type
gladdens the heart of a coach; quick and active in body and mind, strong,
aggressive; a conscientious "trainer," a player who obeys, and questions,
never. He was chosen unanimously as "all-star" tackle.
|
|
There was a young fellow named Dahlem,
Who, when he met teams, wished to whale 'em.
He sure kicked the ball,
For he wasn't so small
I wish you could see how he sailed 'em.
Earle Dahlem, valuable man to have on any team, for his kicking alone.
He played a consistently good game -- though lacking in aggression. The
main fault: he had more ability that he showed.
|
|
|
 |
Just plain Reddy is our center's name,
And he comes out smiling for every game.
He passes the ball
When Hap gives the call
It makes no difference if the game's fierce or tame.
Kenneth Hanson. Center is a difficult position to play well, yet "Red"
turned the trick. His passing was accurate, he was a strong defensive player,
and on offense his position was impregnable. |
|
|
Harold Arnett is our famous left guard.
He pushes the enemy back by the yard.
He sure holds the line,
His work is just fine,
His rivals all think his head is quite hard.
|
|
Harold Arnett and Floyd Wymore. The guards. We take them together because
they are the same style players. Both are good -- reliable. Both lacked
something in aggressiveness, but they made up for any deficiency they may
have had in that direction by their strong defensive work. Chaffey is fortunate
to have them for another year.
|
|
Our right guard once lived down in Chino.
We hope he'll not move o'er to Reno.
Ontario's life
Is less full of strife
Than any town you've ever seen -- oh!
|
|
Earl Swan and Allen Couch. The ends. They will be greatly missed in
the fall. Neither was as aggressive as one would wish, though they were
by no means weak. "Swanie" excelled in receiving forward passes; "Couch"
was a trifle the better "fighter."
|
|
Our little quarter is sometimes called Clell.
Napoleon will do just as well.
Chaffey's Tigers from the zoo
Haven't met their Waterloo,
For the signals -- Hap has never failed to yell.
|
|
Clell Abbott. "Hap" ran the team well -- an inexperienced quarterback.
It is hoped, and expected, that he will next season develop into a veritable
Napoleon.
Veeder South. No one could have excelled the record he made with his
toe -- not even Brickley himself. He converted every goal after touchdown
throughout the entire season -- a perfect record. His goal from placement
won the Santa Monica game. Three field goals in three attempts when we
met Whittier and the same in the Santa Ana game. We hope he will
do as well next fall. And further: he punted reliably, was a strong defensive
player, and should be able to carry the ball.
|
|
|
There is a fine fellow called Dick,
Whom the All Star will certainly pick.
He never goes down
From a punch or a pound
But just helps us our rivals to lick.
Richard Arnett. Placed last for a purpose. We do not like weak endings.
"Dick" played a wonderful game at halfback. No high school team we met
had a man who could advance the ball as well as he. No on could duplicate
his long accurate forward passes. These qualities, combined with his fine
defensive work, made him "All Star" half. |
