With two of the best backs in Freshman football and a strong line, the Elis have one of the most formidable teams of their class in the country.

This is a total of 336 yards gained by one player, and is as impressive an individual performance as the 1920 gridiron can show. All in all, he has shown himself to have all the attributes necessary for "All-American" calibre, and, along with Oss of Minnesota, the Badger "Blacksmith" bids fair to succeed to "Chick" Harley's niche in Middle Western College Football.
