Edwin L. Phillips
Left End
"Eno" the little end was not exactly a baby as was discovered
by every team that he played against and he played against them all.
He was another member of the 1914 team. "Eno" was a good pass
receiver and a cat on breaking up interference. He played both defensive
and offensive end and held down the position just like he was
a two hundred pounder. He was liked by all his team mates and was
always ready for a skirmish. He has had time called on him only
once in all his football career and has had as many hard licks as any
one. He is cool headed and will attempt almost anything for D. B.
C. Next year is his last year and without doubt he will show some more
undeveloped possibilities.
Noel P. Wilkinson
Right End
"Pike" also comes from the ranks of the 1914
team where he was used as general utility
man. He is a good pass receiver, and can pass
ahd punt. He is always in the game and believes
in actions more than words. He was a
sure tackler and got his share of the tackles.
He had a big job before him at the beginning
of the season. His position had been filled the
previous year by Thomas, but he filled the
place "jam up." There have been 'no kicks
against "Pike": He will hold the same job
next year or somebody will have to sleep in
his suit.
Albert Pletimann
Left Tackle
Germany also comes from Port Arthur High School and Marshall
Training School. He and Meaux played side by side at Port Arthur
High and it was a treat to any person understanding football to
watch them work together. Germany came to D. B. C. in order to
get in training to help his Fatherland against the Allies. He was out
of several games on account of an injured knee but he starred in all
the rest. He was a fierce tackler, fast and aggressive, especially good
at going down on punts and getting the man in his tracks. Outside
of his abilities as an athlete he was a great ladies man. Everyone
hopes to see him in the line-up next year.Eighty-three
