His comparatively short record shows a consistent talent for keeping his teams right up there among the winners. As a result he has won a host of friends and gained some weight. Although he is noted for football, his particular abilities lie in a variety of fields. He coaches the college golfers, tennists, and wrestlers; he is dean of men; he is adviser to Inter-club council; in fact, he has a finger in almost every pie in sight. His team men admire and respect him for being a good coach and at the same time a fair, likeable man. To avoid a pat on the back "a la elbow" as demonstrated at bottom, Ray Freeman (No. 4) chooses the simple expedient of getting out of the vicinity in a hurry. The horizontal hero clutching at straws felt awfully embarrassed with an armful of atmosphere. Above are two all-conference men. The lugger in action is Alan Christiansen, whose expression is all part of the game. That mild face of Thomas' can look just as mean. |
