Facing the hardest schedule ever attempted by the school, including games with such teams as Jackson, Newbern, Brownsville, C. B. C. of Mem- phis and Trimble, the team was the best ever produced by the school. The team was not very heavy, but made up for this in speed and fighting spirit. The team was a credit to the school and always played clean and hard. The team entered every game with a spirit and iight that was not to be denied. Out of eight hard games we lost only one game, that to C. B. C. of Memphis, by the close score of seven to nothing. Not losing a game in the conference, the championship of West Tennessee was won again for the second straight year. We give the credit of all our success to Coach Morgan, who worked long and faithfully in the development of a winning team. Page forty-iwo

Coach Morgan Coach Morgan came to Dyersburg early in September and won the hearts of all the student body and the solid support of the school. First, he worked hard and diligently with the football team, and produced one of the best elevens that ever played on the hill. 'He is one of the most popular coaches that ever coached here, not only with the boys but with the girls also. With the basketball team he was equally as successful. He put the basket- ball team on a winning basis for the first time in years. As for baseball and track we are sure he will be equally successful. Let's give fifteen Rah's for the Coach.

The Squad The first call for practice was issued the first week in September. There were about thirty out for the first two weeks, after which some of them dropped out. Most of them remained loyal to the school and kept coming out all season. Those who did not make a letter did much to develop the team. For a team without subs is a failure. Those not making a letter this year should have little trouble making their letter next year. Only four men will be lost to the team this yearvby graduation: Fowlkes, captain and quarterg Summers, guard: Hinson, ehdg and Arnett, end. This should leave this year's team in good shape. No doubt they will have a wonderful team under able coaching. Here's hoping, anyhow. Only one man was lost to the team last year by injuries, that being Green, an end, who got his arm broken in the first game. Had this not happened he would have made his letter easily.
