From' 'Exif LEE YURLE ANDHLS-END Levi was handicapped in the early season hy eligibility trouhles. hut. once clear. he put up a fine hrand of foothall hoth offensively and defensively. He snared passes and halted plays equally successfully. Levi did much toward stopping: Wlaco al our goal line on that remarkable occasion in the third quarter. DAN SA LK ELD-CA PTA 1 tv-ELECT END-A 1.1.-Sr RTE 'hSally was considered the hest end in the state, because of his sterling defensive work and his ability to receive Walters passes. Few were the times that the opposition made gains around him. and many times he halted plays on the other side of the lint-. He was on the receiving end of the famous G'Wrtlter to Salke-ld play, which netted many touchs downs. Dan was an excellent choice for Cap- tain-elect. S.ax.Kt:LD ESCO YVALTER-QL'AR'liER-ALL-S'liA'l'E The passes and long end runs of Esco Wal- ler. diminutive Eagle quarter-hack. made a sensation this season.

MAERICE BRA-XY-TACKLE Maurice, at tackle. played his first year with the Eagles. On account of his size and his charge. he was a hard man to carry ont. Bray was a sure and hard-hitting tackler. Xlany times he threw an opposing player for a loss of necessary yards. Against Cisco he played his hest ol many good games.

His headwork was good. and judging by his efforts in the Amarillo game. his footwork was also excellent. He was picked as a half on the all-state team. and he certainly deserved all the praise he has received. Aultman will be back for his fourth season with the Eagles of '28. OSCAR SENTER Oscar completed his second successful year as the Eagles' center. His passes were fast and accurate throughout the whole season. He played a good defensive game, too, especially at Cleburne and Waco. Oscar's graduation will leave the center berth open, and the new center will have to he a good man to fill the place. . -a....,..f..- . AB11.i:Ni:'s BALL GOODSON SELLERS-HALF Coodson. playing his last and best year with the Eagles, was one of the ranking backs in the State. His punts, being long. accurate. and high, kept the Eagles out of danger on many occasions. In the Amarillo game he made a fine exhibition when he sidestepped. dodged. twisted. and changed pace for many long gains, one of which resulted in a 90-yard run for a touchdown. JACK CHRISTIAN It is enough to say 'flack Christianu: his deeds speak for themselves. He earned his position as all-State guard bv many fine achievements: he was the best offensive guard in thc state and was equally good on the dc- fense: at Waco he was in almost every play. and hc outplayed his opponents so badly that Ffleers had to be removed.

He is the typical Eagle, fighting, fast, charging, skillful, and clean. On the defense. he was the most sen- sational lineman in the State: he charged hrough and made beautiful tackles on either ide of the line. To crown his achievements. I s Donald was unanimously chosen by fourteen writers as all-State tackle. PERRY BARBER Perry was heavy and fast-charging. the ideal ype for a guard. Throughout the whole sea- son the Eagles were able to make heavy gains over Pe-rry's right guard position. He was a l h Eagles. I wo-year veteran from Winters and will play is fourth year of football next year with the TRUETT Truett followed in er Perry as a guard up for this by his ability. When Bi Little Barber was could. certainly earned his letter. He played tackle for the first time this year and made a suc- cess. l..ynn's heads-up type of football brought him a touchdown on an intercepted pass. The Eagles next year will feel the loss of Faires. HALE KINCAID-HALF Hale's first year with the Eagles was a very successful one. Kincaid is connected with Smith in running the interference which was responsible for the Eagles' powerful attack. His lack of weight was more than balanced by his speed. his ability to knock down passes. and his sure tackling in the open field. Hale will be with the 1928 Eagles.
