JOHN DUBUC (Pitcher). A pitcher, an outfielder and a great hitter mark Dubuc as the most valuable man on the team. He could take his turn in the box, pitch a four-hit game and drive in the winning runs with a two-bagger, or he could go in the outfield; play a perfect game and continue driving in runs. He w^as everything a baseball player ought to be, and v as as good as a man can be, and that is all we can say about him.

ScANLON (Pitcher). • "Dreams" was the big find. As a pitcher he was one of the best on the- staff- good control, wonderful steam and great curves. He suffered the only defeat of the season at the hands of Illinois, but the game he pitched would vdn ninety-nine out of every hundred. In another year, he will be a most valuable, man, and right now is one of the best college pitchers in W. A. DRAPER (Manager). the country.

For the past three years he had been one of the main­ stays of the pitching staff. The past season he was bigger and better than ever. Perfect control is his strong point. A gooa head, steady as a clock, a good out-fielder and a good man on bases, coupled w^ith a great arm, made him a most valuable man for the team.
