Well,I he was the only man in history to' ever make the first All-State team all three years of competition. He was men's city tennis cham- pion for three years and played base- ball in the city amateur league. Al- though he prefers baseball and isn't going out for track at Michigan, Dave ran the 100 yard dash in 9.8 three times in high school meets and also competed in, the 220, pole vault, and javelin.

Herschel "Red" Ramsey, Tech's great end, and a bulky substitute back, Gene Barnett, starred in the victory before a crowd of 12,000. Two minutes before the second period ended, the two, a great pitcher and a glue-fingered receiver, started their aerial antics. Back from his own 40-yard stripe Barnett started firing, contacting Ramsey twice with 11-yard darts and then finding him again for a 15-yard forward which he promptly lateraled to Ed Smith, who carried on to the Duquesne nine.
