Brother C. "Gut" Williams is now connected with one of our leading race insurance companies in Pittsburgh Pa. Brothers Allen Gaskins and Kirk Gaskins received their A.B.'s in Education last June and are now filling their places "out yonder" in the world. Gamma continues to shine in extra-curricula work. This year we have an excellent representation on the football squad. Brother A. T. Tobiu was re-elected captain and is having a very successful year. Brother ( otton is "running wild" in his fullback position. Brother Boothe is considered one of the best defensive ends Union has had for some time. Brother Merrilt is a tower of Strength in tackle, and Brother Dandy is tilling in as a flashy substitute halfback. Along with these brothers are Pledgee I. A. Brcatix. quar terback and All C. L A. A. selection for thai position in 1926, and Pledgee Puffin, who was selected on the mythical eleven at end for 192S. These pledgees are lighting hard and making a name [or themselves and I 'nil 11.
