FOOTBALL BUDDY MCMAHANTQ1ldTf?TbdCk Mechanically, Buddy was the best foot- ball player of the lot A savage blocker and a sure tackler. His ability to take out the defensive end was a tremendous as- set. He was one of the best quarterbacks Deshler ever had. We lose Buddy this year through graduation. Rox' SPARKS-Quarterback Roy was a hard worker for the team. He served as a substitute for McMahan. He was a good runner, a hne punter, and a hard blocker. He should go places in ears o come. , Q- han l 2-Q-tl' CLYDE BYRD-Fltllbdfk 56044 This was Byrd's first year to carry the ball for the Tigers, and he did well while he was doing his share of the line smash- ing. Byrd had the speed to make a good fullback and he clearly demonstrated on several occasion that he was one. He will fight for the Tigers again next year. BRODIE MCCORKLE-Fullback One of the best all around players on the team. He was in on every play both defensive and offensive. He is material for any college. We are sorry to say that we lose him this year. WILLIAM ARCHER fSoNj-Manager He showed his ability as a manager dur- ing the rough campaign of the Deshler Tigers of l936-l937. THAD MCDONALD-Manager Thad proved to be just as important to the football team as one of the players. We could always count on Thad. We lose him this year. V THE 1937 TIGER'S ROAR
