...season started on September 22 when 55 men reported for practice to Dr. Paul Withington '09, who was at the head of the Freshman coaching staff. Associated with him were G. L. Batchelder '19, who was given charge of the ends, and F. C. Fishback '19, who directed the linemen. Thirty-two manager candidates also reported at this time.

"Eddie" Morris is his name, and in his time he has signalled to the score-board the story of every University game played in the Stadium.
