J L ,.ZMt:'- M- Eddie always plays that way, not fast or spectacularly, but powerfully and with instinctive ability to find a hole. He was a consistent ground gainer. ROBERT PIERCE Center Bob, by sheer merit, cinched the regular job at center from the first practice, and never needed a sub- - stitute. Physically alert and mentally imperturbable, Robert was all that a center should be, reliable at cxtching signals and snapping back the ball. . We expect to hear of Robert in an Army-Navy game soon: he leaves Brownsville for Annapolis. WORTHAM DAVENPORT Right Gunrfl Q Fl Wortham was the loose guard , his t specialty was getting down the Held undcr punts, and his downiield work contributed materially to the much prized touchdowns scorcd against 'Z ' Corpus and against the Rice Fresh- L if gy-5 i T... men. He was also handy at opening 'A If liolis in the encmy lines, panicularly .' . for quick opening plays, and was also useful in diagnosing: the cne:uy's play. mm, , . .

Left Tackle Alton always gave his best, and what a best it was! His team mates were delighted to show their appre- ciation of his splendid work by chos- ing him captain of next year's team: no small part of our confidence for 1923 is based on his proved qualities for leadership. DALE JONES Left Guard At the end of the Corpus Christi game, one of the officials said that Dale's work in that game was the best he had ever seen done by a high school guard. Dale was always where he was needed, at the right place to grab a fumble and race for a touchdown, or to intercept dangerous forward passes. JOHN PUCKETT Left End Uncanny ability at catching a foot- ball in any position. travelling from any angle, and at any rate of speed distinguished Johnnie's initial season as a regular. Johnnie is only begin- ning to tind himself, nevertheless he shows much natural football talent. He is an excellent drop kicker, and fair punter and passer. . - I7 ,fr diff 11f T'?'f'Qi-'l,-iw, . - Iffiff ,QP .1f21q2 I Vi ,am li Jain X x N A fm i ,V ,iff 'vi ,f X X-G5 ,fypezbf ffelje .fa 9 ,IW X B9

GEORGE GILUPE S1lbSfifIlfE' George, who had always imagined that asthma and a slight build barred him from playing football, demon- strated just how unimporlant such handicaps are to a youngster possessed of determination and COLIFELQG. George went into the San Benito game and by using his noodle , stopped in three plays the only flurry of line attacks that line plunging team was able to start. ALBERT STEPHENS Right Tzzrklw Steve worked all night, came to school by day. and played football be- tween times. He was the main spring of the Brownsville line on attack. he always got his man , on the cle- fensive. Loyal, dependable, manly, and unassuming, Steve was every- thing a football man should be, and his memory will long be with us. ARTHUR BIGGS Right End Although traincd for a tackle, and nature meant him for a center. Arthur was a regular on the B. H. S. eleven all year at end. This was his first year's experience in football, but he htted in well with the r st of the team. Few opposing players baffled Arthur, , , , , ,, .,ff -4 J, ..:,.- ll f' 444' li f , 1' .- K ' .
