"JOEY" AMERSBACH- To Captain "Joey"' goes the honor of leading the Red and Blue during the '22. '23 campaign. His agile personage was ever seen in the thick of the scrimmage. His courage and personality brought fear to opponents and drew fa vor from team-mates and fans (even of the weaker sex). "BILL Y" BLAKE-The Hibernian end of the team was well represented in Blake. He was "master of all he surveyed and his rights there were none to dispute." Whether it was shooting. guarding. or jumping center. "Billy" was always there with the goods. His versatility. his Rash. and his fine sportsmanship have marked his as pleasant a player as the U. of D. has ever produced. "SKEETER" EISELE-What makes "Skeeter" a wonderful athlete is the fact that no one can ever beat him - at least no one could ever convince him that he was beat. What this youngster lacks in altitude he makes up in speed . He believes in playing the strenuous game and ever keeps his opponents on the defense. Many fam who have watched him have branded him with the metaphor . " a lively rubber ball. " "SWEDE" WAGNER - Swede was well on his way to the hall of Athletic Imrrortal s when the hand of Dame Tough Luck barred his way. An infected limb placed him in the hospital immediately after the EaldwinWallace game. " Swede" was a great po:nt-getter and he was getting better every game. It was a treat to watch this lithe former West Tech star perform. "LOUIE" MAHRT - "Louie" is a home-grown varsity man and his tutoring with the preps bore ampl e fruit this year. Rare indeed were the forwards who by trickery or by brawn were able to ~et by thi s sentinel of our net. The famous name of "Mahrt " has been kept ablaze durinl( this gruell ing season. " COKE" DOYLE- This swarthy Conan Doyle must be blessed with much of his namesakes ingenuity in solving the insoluble. He always knew just wh ere to be to break up the enemy's attack. Having played beside Mahrt on th e Prep team . he Ir.ad e a splendid running mate for "Loui e" and the combination proved a juggernaut to the opposit ion. "TUFFY" F ULWEILER- It wa s a sad evening when "Tuffy" got started (that is. sad for the enemy). He and the net would at times become very familiar and the adding machine used in tabulating his points needed frequent oillJlg. There wa s more than one cont est in which the opposing qUlJltet would sigh "too
~
much Fulweder."
