What the yearbook said

“Ash” has nothing against the women; his telephone list will prove that, but that does not mean he is in any respects a cookie pusher. A vision of his prowess on the gridiron would soon belie any such contention. In fact “Ash” sacrificed his chances of receiving his letter last fall in receiving an injury which prevented him from participating in any of the contests of the latter part of the season. Moreover Ashton is accomplished in other fields of recreation. As a violinist he can swing a wicked bow, and as a dancer he can kick a mean hoof — figuratively speaking, of course. Good luck to you, “Ash”.
