Gives Opinions On Modern Game And Makes Comparisons
·
To one who was a player a;nd an amateur coach in the early ye&l"$
of the 1900's the modern game of football is aimost a conundrum. .
Since football started in this school, the game has changed from a ·
closely massed game to a more and more open, individua·l basketball
sort of a ·g·ame.

ADMIRATION
"As a graduate of the Stevens
Point Normal School, now ·k nown
as the Central State Teachers College, and as one who thirty years
ago was actively engaged in football and basketball activities, I
would say that I hav e followed
with interest the athletic features
s ince that time.
It has been my pleasure to o·bserve that for many years past the
Athletic Department of the Central State Teach et~s Coollege has
ranked high with other similar
college's. Especially has suc'h been
the fact during the past few years.
At this ·t ime I wish to commend
the student body of the college
for its loyal spirit, and further to
c·ommend Mr. Kotal for his activity in i·n :spiring that spirit. It is
to be hoped that his good work
and the resultant s·chool S'pirit
will live for years to come.''

It has often been said that a
game between a team -of the early 1900's and a team of the present day would be an interesting
sight, and it is often conjectured
as to which would win. It seems
to the writer that it would all depend on who got the ball to start
with. I firmly believe that the modern football team would run
away from the old-time team, due
to the more open garrie, the forward passes, and the greater
flexibility of the modern team.
But give the ball to th<'\ old-time
team, with the line weighing on
the average of 195 lbs., and with

TO THE VICTORS BELONG THE SPOILS
Thirty gridiron huSikies, who sacrificed scho<Yl time and school
work to give their all to the winning of another championship, are
deserving of all the compliments they now receive. They've played
cleaTI, hard football and have won the est eem of every team they've
played. They've had their trials and troubles, they've had their fun
- and the closing of the pigskin season finds them perching on the
hilghest rung of the conference ladder.
Congratulatio'lll3, you men of iron!
A TRIBUTE TO THE DEAN OF COACHES
You likeable hunch of persona1ity! You ~king of football coaches!
You builder of champions! Again your ·plans have materialized; and
yom· leadership has again brought honors and glory to our s·c hool.
You have the confidence of your football gang and the s rt u den t
body, and the respect of other c·onference :s chools.
Consider this a tribute, Coach Kotal!
THE STUDENTS AND FACULTY BACKED THE TEAM
A school without a faculty and a student body is an empty bookcase- th'e substratum is missing.
Our faculty and students have been the team's most ardent
boosters. The band, a student organi.z ation, provided tho1se martial
airs which added to the glamour of the games. Your moral support,
faculty and student of C. S. T. C. , was one of the factors contributing
to a successful season on the gridiron, and you, too, del>erve to be
congratulated.
THEY, TOO, HAD A FINGER IN THE PIE
The business men of Stevens Point had their finger in the pie and it turned out to be a championship pie. They 'backed the .school's
a0tivities at every turn; they had confidence m our school and its
student body. Their confidence was rewarded in the form of another
football championship; their city sha·res in the laurels won.
We're glad that our school is located in your fair city of Stevens
Point, you busi,ness men, and we a:ppreciwte your support. We're
proud of you - here's a tribute!
Hell Week Closes
Greek Pledging INFORMATION
of-the-week
The dark days of hell week are
here again. Pledges of various
Greek organizations are going
through the final tests which will
be culminated by rough initiations the early part of next we·e k.
Active members - are rackinJ
their brains trying to determine
fitting orgies for the embryonic
Greeks to go through while the
pledges are scurrying thither and
yon endeavoring to meet these
many demands. However the
pledges, for the most part, are silent- to members of the opposite
sex.
Immediately following Thanksgiving vacation the various fraternites and sororities will hold
their formal initiations. The period of amusement for the actives,
the period of hazing of neophytes
will be at an end for 1934.

FORTY YEAR ALL-STARS CHOSEN
Fred Schmeeckle
Since football is the first of the
major sports that swings into action with the opening of the
school year, an approach to the
cost of our athletics might be
gained by completely equipping
a football player. \Vhen ready for
combat on the gridiron he wears
a helmet costing $12.00, shoulder
pads $10.00, sweat shirt $1.00, jersey$4.00, pants $7.50, socks 0.35,
shoes $9.00, and if you put a new
football into his hands the cost is
increased by $9.00 more. His
complete equipment, not including the ball, cost the athletic association between forty and fifty
dollars. Now if you multiply this
by fifty you have one block of the
expense of our College athletics.
This equipment needs to be completely rep1aced within three
years.
Travel Expense
Now this football player goes
to Milwaukee; he parks in a good
hotel and eats with a coming appetite; and by the time the day is
over the cost to the athletic association amounts from $3.00 to
$4.00. This football player is not
on a reducing diet. Multiply this
daily expense ·of one football player by twenty-eight and you have
the cost per day of our football
team when they are away from
home.

After raising plenty of the socalled "heck" with my footballers
all season, and nary a thought toward laudation, I am requested to
write a lengthy "something nice"
about them. Talk about your
tough assignment -- I really have
one. Whatever I say, they will not
believe now because they have
heard otherwise all year. Another
thing , it may spoil them, but perchance they will forget it by next
year or at least by prom time.
However, I do not want to take
this opportunity to put in a word
or praise and a hearty thank you
to every man who donned the old
moleskins and spiked shoes this
past season. This goes for my managers as well.
The season, with all its glory
and sparkle and trips, seems quite
the fun to you outsiders, but to
people "in the know" the whole
thing takes on a different aspect.

Athletic Publici ty Dir.
Sports Editor-Illinois W c s l e y~n
I was al'31ked to tell of the most
unusual play that occurred in the
g a m e s .played
this year, also
that of the 1933
.c h am pionship
season.
How can any
person enumerate one unusual
play from an
unusual t e am,
coached by an
ummua.l
coach.
You could always de.pend on
Richard Schwru1
Becker to pull
the u n us u a l.
Many a time he chose to run on
four.th down and I can't remember of his ever failing to make
the needed yardage to those cases.
However, I will list one of two
plays that come under the term
unusual. Be-cker's 92 yard punt at
St. Cloud easily ranlm this rating.
His punting throughout the season was unusual. In last year's
games, Ted Menzel's -blockina of
a Whitewater punt, recove;ing .
the same, running the remainino·
distance to ncore ,can be classed a~
unusual. Fritsch's 82 yard run
against Platteville, last year, rates
this cogomen also.
Had I have been asked to name
the •most critical play of this and
last year's ·championship teams I
could have done it .much more
e8Jsily.
In this year's •games the bloc-king of a Whitewater punt whicl1
led to the Point s·core >vas the
most criti.cal play of the year.
Don A·bel ea;ptured last year's
critical play when, in the Milwaukee game, he saved ·the grume with
hi~ A-1 piece of tackJi.ng while
Mrhvaukee was determined to
score, late in the fourth quarter.
Commenting on the strength of
the two teams, Ias.t year's, and
this, I would g·ive this year's team
the edge. The :scores mi""ht not indicate it, but the teams they played this year were stronger than
thot>e played lUJst year. This year's
schednle listed no breathers.
In concluding, I want to wish
the 1935 team all the luck and
success possible. Let's make it
three in a row. You can.

-THE . POINTER
Hail The Champions Of Wisconsin!
The Championship Flag
Backfield Stars
Will Graduate
Five men will be lost to the
team by graduation or ineligibility next year. These men are all
backfield men - Captain Becker
and Ron Murray, who have had
three years of competition, and
.Milton Anderson, Myron Fritsch,
and Russ Beppler, who graduate
in June.
Perhaps it is a coincidence that
all these :men happen to graduate
or end their football careers at
the same time. For three years
they have played together- this
is added proof of the old adage
that champs are not made hurriedly. It is through constant working together that an achievement
such aG. our championship is obtained.
After next season the entire line
will have had three years of competition. The tellim this year, one
readily sees, was built of veterans
- with newco.mers tough enough
to give every regular a fight to
hold down his berth. This is a good
recipe for championships.
A glance at the scoring column
will indicate that of the total
points scored by C. S. T. C. this
season the majority were scored
by these men. Far be it fr·o m us
to throw cold water on next year's
hopes, but it seems as though
backfield combinations such as
these come few and far between.
Because ·Of the sterling play of
the'se 'gr~Vduating regulars, those
substitutes who would ordinarily
have taken part in many games
on other teams were kept on the
sidelines. It is certain that Kotal's
genius will produce a combination
that will be as unbeatable as was
this year's team.

La Crosse won the championship title in the northern half of the Wisconsin State Teachers Conference. The Cardinals
scored victories over River Falls, Stout, and Eau Claire, and tied with Superior. Howard Johnson is the La Crosse coach.
Wa,tts, former Beloit colored star, was their greatest ground-gainer (picked on Point player's all-opponents' tea.m., as wa,s

Soruthern Teachers and Augustana have four victories and no defeats; Illinois Wesleyan has not
been defeated, but two ties mar
their record. They have three
games extending over Thanksgiving to play in their conference,
besides a T;urkey Day intersectional tilt. Other teams in the conference are Brllid,ley Tech., Millikin U, De Kalb, Monmouth, McKendree, Knox (h o l d e r 'S of

and Whea,ton College.

High School Grid
Stars Coming To
C. S. T. C.
The state teacher's colleges, after the war, had a large quota of
men who had served in the war,
and who had returned to school to
finish up their studies, interrupted by the call to the colors. The
period following the world conflict presented a colorful and unusual picture as youngsters sat
in classes with ex-service men,
some of whom had been officers,
many of whom had seen ~service
action at the front.
These men numbered among
them some who were hard and
cynical - war does that to one.
Stevens Point turned out a championship football team in 1920 and what a team they had- they
still talk about those "babies",
and you can get time out for reminiscenses concerning this aggregation from any of the supporters of the team during that period. Many of those State Teachers Conference players, such as
Marty Below (Oshkosh), Ernie
Nevers .of Superior, and Bill Zorn
(now coach at Eau Claire), who
later starred respectively at Wisconsin, Stanford, and Chicago, got
their start in this conference.

CENTRAL STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE CHAMPIONS OF 1933
Work and Play
On Grid Trips
Our college gridders opene·d a
very successful sewson by driving·
north to St. Cloud, Minnesota.
The squad stopped over at the
Curti's Hotel, Minneapolis, Friday
night. St. Cloud was defeated, 7-6,
so it wa1> a hap·py bunch that
headed southward after the game.
Eddie and the boys stayed in
Chippewa Falls Saturday night
and returned home Sunday. To
ma.ke the trip complete, Connie
(the bus driver) ran out of gas
three miles from home. Our ball
club hurled undesirable adje:ctives
upon :poor Connie for his forgetfulness.

THE POINTER
HERE and THERE
a columnist's column
The football season ends triumphantly for Central State. Another championship crown is placed upon the head of Coach Kotal.
While the rest of this "football
edition" is singing a happy tune
we want to bring in just one sour
note. If Kotal can place this
school, long the cellar champions
of the state conference, among the
leaders, and do it consistently,
why can't he do the same thing
for a bigger college and one that
is able to pay him a better salary?
We know for a fact that Kotal did
have an opportunity to change
positions last spring. We fe3:r
that if "Eddie" should leave, h1s
boots might be just a bit too large
for his successor to fill.
The end of the collegiate trail
is here for that stellar performer,
Captain ·warren Becker. For three
v ears now he has been a marked
~an whenever he strode on to the
gridir-on. The cry of the enemy
has always been "get Becker". Because they never "got him" there
