Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School B E L L I N G H A M , WASH., SATURDAY, N O V E M B E R 18, 1916 No. 7 The Cogs of the Football Machine Now that the whistle has sounded on the last scrimmage, and the football togs have been laid away in Coach Sam Carver's big locker to await another September, it is altogether proper that the Bellingham Normal School should sum up the individual prowess of those who have striven so nobly to make the Blue and White banners symbols of victory. And this should be before the many victories become but hazy memories. Therefore, listen: SAM CARVER, COACH. First and foremost of those who have made our team a success is Sam Carver. He began working long before the first hero appeared on the Normal campus and was the very last to quit. He spent two months studying the game in all its phases at Berkeley, and a great part of the month of August in arranging games and equipment for the team. The first week of school found him on the field with his squad, and, from that time on, scarcely an evening passed but he was out developig the team into a ma- : __j _^ chine that, before the end of the season, became recognized as one of the him "a past master of football strat- ROY POWELL, CENTER. the team who played up to all expec-best in the Northwest.
