Ronald pulled several games ouT oT The Tire wiTh long punT reTurns and sTerling caTches, The only reTurning regular Trom lasT year's Team, he was one oT The leaders. Play- ing deTensive halTback, he used speed and rough Tackling To sTop several hard drives. Donald, Tiger back, proved his worTh in scoring several Touchdowns and picking up valuable yard- age. A IOO-yard dash Trackman, he oTTen ran The opponenT's ends and broke way Tor long gains. DespiTe his size, he was one oT The Top deTensive hands and was praised Tor his iolTing Tackles. Horace was one oT The Tigers Tough sTalwarTs. His savage deTensive play always kepT The coaches smiling, and in The opponenT's line. ATTer leTTering Tor Three years, he became a leader oT The Team and was capTain oT several games in The 'Sl season. Judge is a Three-year leTTerman aT guarTerback.

Bud, who played 48 minuTes in mosT oT The games, was noT praised much Tor his oTTensive work, be- cause iT was overshadowed by his deTense play. Many Times This season he has come up Trom his linebacking posiTion To seT back The opponenTs. Much oT This was done by his Terocious Tackling. His speed was an asseT To The Team all year as he pulled down several players Trom behind. Coach Elmer BuTler did much in making The Tiger Torwards inTo The Tine line iT was. AlThough he was shorT on maTerial and his boys were lighT, Mr. BuTler Trained These boys inTo excepTionally Tierce line- men. No oTher coach in The sTaTe could geT The TooTball knowledge inTo The boys as TasT as Coach BuTler, who by acTual demonsTraTion showed Them how To geT The job done.
