EARL HAWKINS
Quarterback
First Year, Weight 145

Gritty, and fast as a flash in the dark,
A little more training will make him a "shark".
The tales of his speed will be warm in the ears
Of the fans of this burg in a couple of years.

"Hawk" handled the team when Potter was cut,
And he did up the job like a regular scout.
The Scarlet and Cream unites in the shout,
That "Hawk" always knew what he was about.

He had the grit, he had the speed,
He had a wise old pate--
The only thing that Johnny lacked
Was just a little weight.
Yet, often, he squirmed through a thousand pound wall,
And stopped, in his tracks, the man with the ball.
