line, it would be shoved and not very lightly. A hard-hitting, smooth-run- ning back can well be attributed him. PEIFFER-Halfback rRlFEDDIE can well be awarded the monicker "Unlucky," for after two ~ woncierfu~ games he. was placed on the injured list with a crippled knee. HIS knee havmg to be m a cast for a month caused his retire- ment for the remainder of the season. Without a doubt, Peiffer was the best broken field runner the team had, and the loss of his services was severely felt by the team. His weaving, slashing style of running caused the best of praise from State experts. I think that anyone would have :.. given their best to have seen Peiffer take off his cast and jump into the " ...t,,· game with his old fighting spirit. FLANAGAN-Halfback ffllEWEY is gone, but not forgotten. He also was severely injured; ~ but before he was, he showed Johns Hopkins University how foot- ball should be played. As the Sun said, "he played one wonderful game before he was injured," and that is true. "Dewey" was another type of player who knew what to do and when to do it. Never before has a .• r , guard been seen to consistently break through a line and get down the field under any form of play as Dewey could do. He could smear any line presented, and do it consistently. Cur hope is that Dewey will be able to be with us next year. CLAYTON-End rffIUZZY'S name will be remembered as long as the Johns Hopkins' game ~ of 1923 will be remembered. In this game, his playing at end so far outshone the playing of Hopkins' men that the ones playing opposite him had to wear smoked glasses. "Fuzzy" was down under every punt, he was smearing end runs with consistent regularity, and he was making open-field tackling that would cause Thorpe's throne to wobble. It was such consistent playing as this that puts "Fuzzy" on our quartette of All- Maryland men for 1923. "Fuzzy," this is your last year of college football, but your last shall ever ring dear in the thoughts and admiration of your associates. . McROBY -Guard [ffilACK comes to us from the wilderness surrounding Kitzmilier, which ~ fact bespeaks his rugged nature. When Mack came to the training camp in the fall he hardly knew what a football looked like. At the first work-out, he remarked that he would like to chase the pig-skin as he would a soccer ball. But when he came to like the game, nothing could stop him. He was in the game constantly, knocking them down and drag- ging them out. During the latter part of the season, as he became mON familiar with the game, his tackling was suggested as being the fastest ever seen for a hard-hitting guard; and it was. If Mack is with us next year, we will be looking for real, sensational football from him. CUNEO-Tackle fRlHIS other All-Maryland Second Team tackle comes to us from Greens- ~ burg High, where he held as much respect as he does with us. When one sees his two hundred and sixty-five pounds poured into his uni- form, and spilling over the top of this trousers, one wonders how in tne One Hundred and Sixty-ni.ne
