Much of this year's team was composed of sophomores, which should mean a stellar team for Coach Carr in 1834. J. S. England '35, goalie, probably the outstanding player of the year, H. B. B. Robinson '35, centre halfback, D. C. Clos '35, right inside, M. G. Grover '35, center forward, E. H. Robbins '35, left outside, and G. F. Stork '35 left inside have all played regularly. R. M. Gummere '34. W. F. Whitney '34, and R.S. Baxter '34 are returning as regulars for their last year of play. Captain John Dorman '36. right inside, is probably...
...chief difficulties in minor sports is the fact that a junior varsity player who has made his freshman numerals can receive only numerals again for playing on the second varsity team. This is also true of the assistant managers of minor sports. For a time last year it appeared that some change would be made because of the protests from basketball men, but nothing came of it.

If they are successful, they are rewarded by fame, authority and opportunities to act in cinema. When Howard Jones began his career, such was not the case. Coaches were likely...
...Bernard William ("Bernie") Bierman, who started coaching at Butte, Montana, High School in 1920, and worked up gradually till he turned out two Tulane teams that won Southern Conference Championships in 1930 and 1931.

He played at Minnesota in 1916; he uses the Minnesota shift, invented by Dr. Henry Williams, with guards moving in an unbalanced line. His salary...
