Football Men<br />

B.\E11R, second-year man; Fullback. Teddy<br />

|)layed an excellent game for 'Varsity tliis year,<br />

doing <strong>the</strong> bulk <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> work on both <strong>of</strong>fense and<br />

defense. It is unusual to see an unfinished player,<br />

as Baehr confessedly is, play like our friend 4'eddy<br />

did. His wonderful piiysieal strength made him<br />

easily <strong>the</strong> most valuable man on <strong>the</strong> team, and his<br />

line plunging was not cfjualled by any in <strong>the</strong> State.<br />

On tlie <strong>of</strong>fense no opposing line held terror for him<br />

and on <strong>the</strong> defense no speedy half seemed able<br />

to evade his fond embrace (he seldom tackled).<br />

His playing was earnest and steady and he was a<br />

marked favorite Avith players and spectators alike,<br />

as ])roven by his unanimous election and <strong>the</strong> entluisiasm<br />

with which everybody joined in tlie j'ell<br />

<strong>of</strong> "Who's a Bear?"<br />

Teddj', bj' his sterling playing, forced <strong>the</strong> "Uji- ^^|<br />

Staters" to recognize him as an All-Ohio man, and<br />

Ave feel sure that none deserve a berth on that<br />

mythical eleven more than Teddj^ Baehr.<br />

FISHBACH, first-year man; Right Half. Vic is<br />

a man with what might be termed football intuition.<br />

He has brains enough to size up a situation<br />

and s])ced enough to take advantage <strong>of</strong> it, which<br />

is a valuable combination, indeed. His clear headwork<br />

and his great speed put him in <strong>the</strong> front<br />

rank <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> newly developed stars. His long runs<br />

and clever playing Thank.sgiving Day were among<br />

<strong>the</strong> brighter spots in that final game. Fish has two<br />

3^ears ahead <strong>of</strong> him, and in that time he should<br />

develo]) into one <strong>of</strong> 'Varsity's most dependable<br />

ground gainers.<br />

MONTGOMERY, first-year man; Left Half. "The<br />

Tackier," as <strong>the</strong> King christened Jimmy, deserves<br />

<strong>the</strong> title, as he was <strong>the</strong> most dependable man on<br />

tlie team in this department <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> game. He only<br />

weighed a little over 1.30 pounds, but he could<br />

bring his man down every shot. The interference<br />

that he gave his teammates was also far above<br />

<strong>the</strong> average. It was amusing to see him put men<br />

twice his size out <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> play time after time.<br />

Montgomery is a comer, he handles himself nicely<br />

when carrying <strong>the</strong> ball, and though liis weight did<br />

not seem to infiuence his iilaj^ing, still <strong>the</strong> gruelling<br />

work <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> season has its effect on a man <strong>of</strong> his<br />

weight. It is <strong>the</strong>refore to be hoped that he puts<br />

on some avordupois between now and next fall.
