Did you faint in the sprint, Where the hot dust choked and burned? Did you breast the tape ' midst the flying dirt, That the leader ' s sprint had spurned? Did you do your best ? Oh, I know your time was bad; But the game is not in the running, lad. The best of it, since the beginning, lad, If you gave them the best that you had. Did your tackle fall short? Did the runner flash by, With the score that won the game? Did it break your heart when you missed the try? Did you choke with the hurt and shame? If you did your best — Oh, I know the score; I followed you all the way through And that is why I am saying, lad, That the best of the flight is the staying, lad, And the best of all games is the playing, lad, If you gave them the best in you. —Brutus Hamilton.

The last game of the season was with Maysville, one of the old rivals of Maryville. The Spoofhounds in the first quarter made two touchdowns, but in the second and third quarters they seemed to relapse to the form displayed in previous games. The final per- iod found the Spoofhounds displaying their wares to the best advantage. The final score was 28-0, Maryville. Next year they should have a good team although they lose some valuable men. Those who will not be back are: George McMurry. Roland Russell, Vilas Glover, Owen Thomp- son. Charles Hitt. Harry Trullinger, Donald Hcughtaling, John Hall, Kenneth Barnes. The men who will be back next year are: Leland Smith, William New, Cecil Mayes, Har- old Schmidt, Donald Warner, Ralph Hahn. A rule was adopted by the school last year to have Coach Croy appoint a temporary Captain before each game. At the end of the season George McMurry was elected hon- orary captain.

Football GEORG E McMURRY— Mac — End, ' 27, ' 28, Captain, ' 28. Mac was worthy of being elected Captain. He was good on defense as well as offense. He caused some end runs to come to grief. CHARLES HITT— Guard, ' 28. Hitt was one of the best line men that has ever been seen in Maryville High School. This was his first and last year with the Green and Black. ROLAND RUSSELL — Hump — Quarterback, ' 28. Hump was one who this year won his first football letter. He was light but fast and he was always willing. KENNETH BARNES — Pesky — Center, Quarterback, ' 28. Pesky, although a utility man, was very valuable. His fight and grit made him hard to move. LELAND SMITH— Smitty — Center, ' 26, End, ' 27, Halfback, ' 28. Smitty was a shifty halfback and did his share in the ground gaining. This was Smitty ' s erratic year in football. He has another year left. WILLIAM NEW— Bill — Guard. ' 27, ' 28. His opponents lay low when he hit them. He always played a good game and left a good record. He has another year to play. OWEN THOMPSON— Tackle, ' 27, ' 28. Thompson had the old fight and pep. He was naturally hard to get by. He will be missed in the line next year. HARRY TRULLINGER— Fullback-Tackle, ' 28. Trullinger, although his first year, was an exceedingly valuable man for line playing.
